17th IHS Partial Class List

There are no other herbal conferences quite like the International Herb Symposium.

At the IHS, we strive to bring together plant lovers & herbalists from around the world, representing many traditions and aspects of herbalism: folkloric, scientific, community outreach & therapeutic applications, farming and gardening, ceremonial and plant spirit teachings and many others. 

Please note that this list is not yet complete. Stay tuned as we continue to add teachers and finalize classes to be offered in person and online. A complete class schedule with detailed descriptions will be posted as soon as it is available.
