The Hollow Reed School of Healing Arts and Herbals
Healing Begins With Remembering We Are Nature.
Serving the community for over 20 years
Three Pathways
Where to Begin?
Since 2004
A Living School of Plant Medicine
Hollow Reed is a grassroots school dedicated to organic and wild-harvested products, ethical harvesting practices, local medicine security, and a deep reconnection to the earth and the living traditions of herbalism and meditation.
Rooted in the historic Trappist Monastery grounds at the St. Norbert Arts Centre in Winnipeg, we bridge ancestral plant knowledge with modern clinical practice — training the next generation of herbalists to serve their communities with integrity and reverence.
