Old medical texts were often written in verse, in a hymn-like style to aid memory. Medical texts written in verse span across the globe: Persian, Irish, Sanskrit, China, and more. These works used poetry to preserve and transmit complex medical knowledge across generations.
Land of Verse aids us all to remember the herbal stories of past generations derived from our own ancestral wisdom.

“I'm someone who can't learn from a recording, so it's been really important for me to have this beautiful interactive learning experience where you're making things with your teacher…but online! Even though I'm thousands of miles away from some of my fellow colleagues, I feel very close to all of them and my teachers, that’s magic!”

“I have to admit I was a little bit skeptical about creating community online, because we've never done anything like this before the pandemic. With time spent live and online with our teachers and students, I have felt a real sense of community grow amongst all of our classmates. So much so we’ve made the effort to meet each other outside of class!”
—Lily, Clinical Herbalist 2022
