Original Instructions are instructions for living as Human Beings who exist with, and from Earth. The Original Instructions School of Traditional Medicine and Practical Skills has gathered holistic and traditional practitioners from around the world to provide you with accessible education in areas of study that support, exemplify, and preserve ways of human life which are in alignment with the Original Instructions - without culturally appropriating.
If you’re looking to gain authentic traditional information and experiences surrounding Herbalism, Childbearing, Healing, and Advocacy from an Indigenous perspective then we’re the school for you! On the other hand, if you’re looking for diluted, vague, self-validated, and culturally appropriated experiences or “initiations” then were most likely not a great fit.
Original Instructions School of Traditional Medicine and Practical Skills offers classes, workshops, and certification programs online and in person.

As with all of our Original Instructions School certification trainings and classes, our purpose with this series is to provide a platform through which Indigenous practitioners and their allies offer instructions on how to deepen your authentic relationship with the Plant Nations without culturally appropriating.
All Classes in this series will take place online (live!) via Zoom on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6pm-8pm Eastern Standard Time.
Opening Class in on Monday, August 21st, 2023
Closing Class in on Wednesday, October 11th, 2023
This means that during this class series you will be cultivating your own authentic relationships with the Plant Nations through knowledge and methods which are not for specific initiates, but rather which are common medicine for the people. All practices and information which belong to specific lineages will be taught only by humans belonging to or claimed by those lineages. Likewise, the instructors for this course include humans of the Pueblo Acoma, Quechua, HuaroChirri, Celtic, Lakota, and Pawnee Nations - among others.

The Power of Warming and Wrapping the Womb
Vaginal Steaming DIY + Recipe —> A Traditional Indigenous Herbalism practice
Bottom (often Vaginal) steaming has been practiced since time immemorial by women from all continents albeit in varying forms. Bottom, or vaginal, steaming can be very helpful for passively receiving plant medicine into the labia, vaginal canal, cervix, womb, and ovaries. In addition to receiving medicinal properties from the essential oils and nutrients Which are evaporating within the steam, you are also working to directly heat up the womb center, which is key in promoting fertility.
