For those who are not interested or ready to embark upon the six-week Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner Course, the Plant Spirit Medicine Seminary sponsors an introductory weekend course taught by Safia Johnson and Carla Leftwich.   The course, entitled, Listening to the Wisdom of the Plant Spirits:  An Introduction to Plant Spirit Medicine, helps to reawaken our innate ability to listen and speak to the spirit of plants and provides a great introduction to the study of Plant Spirit Medicine.
