What Students Say About
ECO Sensual



I highly recommend Eco Sensual to anyone who is wanting to learn about how to work with plants for trauma.


I don't think most people understand plants work this way, and if they did everyone would be working with them.

I came out of the class more in touch with my spiritual self and creativity than I did when I started. That alone is something most people would pay money for. So grateful for this experience.



I was blown away with the levels of righteous respect and wisdom from the plants that was carried through this training so powerfully.​

This was a great class with fantastic information that will stay with me through my healing journey.



I think it's extremely valuable for survivors to understand how to protect themselves, deepen their knowledge and cultivate a narrative that heals them instead of keeping them stuck in the same place.

In addition, I'd recommend anyone who is interested in serving others to become trauma informed. This is a great place to start and I wish more leaders embarked on this path.

How do I apply for tuition scholarships available for the ECO Sensual training?

Our Original Instructions School scholarship program offers both full and partial tuition scholarship options for all of our Original Instructions School certification programs and trainings, both online and in person.

Being that we are the Original Instructions School we do give priority of our full scholarship awards to people Indigenous to the Americas first.

However, our school founder and staff believe strongly in providing vocational training in the fields of holistic wellness and advocacy to those who are most in need. Therefore, our school regularly grants full and partial scholarships from all ethnic backgrounds who are likely to go on to serve within marginalized communities of people.

We ask that applicants for our scholarship program complete an essay describing in detail how they will put to use the knowledge and skills gained in the certification workshop or program they are seeking a full or partial scholarship for.

In order to inquire about obtaining a full or partial scholarship for one of our certification programs or trainings email our Original Instructions School founder Brittany Jade at Brittany@OriginalInstructionsSchool.com for further information.

What payment plans are available?
