The 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.

Now more than ever before it is clear that addressing current and past sexual / reproductive traumas is relevant to a large percentage of the people who you will relate with (in whatever capacity) throughout your life. It is extremely pertinent to take action and gain tools for recognizing, accommodating, and resolving traumas held within the body for ourselves as well as for those we interact with.

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.

Sweetgrass
Between every blade of Sweetgrass
there is the whisper
of those who inhabited this land before.
Earth remembering
the ones who left their offerings,
and loved Nature as their own
flesh and blood…
Mimosa
From underneath the suffocating burden
and salty tears
of
rape, molestation,
addictions, depression,
suicide, incarceration,
domestic abuse,
abandonment, neglect,
and even black magic;….
