Jim McDonald, lives in Michigan, and offers a perspective of herbalism that blends western folk and indigenous views of healing with the vitalist traditions of 19th century western herbalism. He has offered classes throughout the Great Lakes bioregion and nationally, hosts the website: www.herbcraft.org, and is currently writing "A Great Lakes Herbal". Jim is a community herbalist, a manic wild crafter and medicine maker, and has been an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herb craft….the plants themselves.

Note from Shawna: This is a special opportunity to learn from a very talented and knowledgeable herbalist who does not get to our side of the state often enough. Jim's teaching style is enthusiastic, engaged and insightful. You won't want to miss this event!
