Praise for the Yogi's Apothecary: Module 1 from a current student:

"During a major life transition, I was looking to deep dive into an experiential practice that combined my love of Tantra and Mother Earth.

This course beautifully ties together Tantra, Western Herbalism, Ayurveda, asana, meditation, chanting, pranayama and ancient shamanic wisdom into an integrated whole.

While I have been exposed to all the material intellectually, the personal transmission of the knowledge and wisdom by Brooke resonates with me on a very deep level.

I would recommend this course for beginners and advanced practitioners alike who want to deepen their practice and connection to nature."

Listen to Learn - What is Tantric Herbalism?

Module 1: Luminous Belly + Pushti, Light on Nourishment

The course objective of this 1st module of Yogi's Apothecary is to go over the importance of optimizing + balancing the functions of the physical body-specifically through the power of digestion- as a foundation for one's spiritual growth and vitality in life. It is also an introduction into ayurveda, herbalism and yoga therapy for digestion. This module is dedicated towards building the soil of health for those who want to be more empowered around their own health as well as in supporting others. Our hope is to empower collective awakening from a sustainable inner/outer model and reveal the timeless alchemy of Herbal Wisdom.

This first module inspires a connection to the plants in a manner that nourishes the senses while feeding the soul. We begin with a strong set of foundational herbs and tonics, mainly spices and digestives. Students learn from these, their herbal actions, affects on organs, organ tissues, the mind and the elements that make up theirs (and other's) constitutions. This creates a solid soil for understanding the plants- when plants are medicine and when they can be poisonous.

The people's medicine, the yogis medicine, should not be found in a doctor's office but brought into one's home and personal apothecary, straight from Nature.

This approach is more sustainable, accessible, supportive and definitely more affordable than our current modern medicine paradigm.

The embodiment portion of the plants-as kitchen alchemy + practice, helps one optimize + balance their own functions of the physical body as a foundation for one's spiritual advancement (and yoga practice, if one practices yoga)/meditation.

It is also an introduction into the methodologies of tantra and how the living wisdom of forest yogis connect to the vast pharmacopeia of Nature.

Our hope is to empower collective awakening from a sustainable inner/outer model and reveal the timeless alchemy of Tantric Herbal Wisdom.

Module 1: Luminous Belly, is a self paced, self study online course offered in video and audio format. It is a solid beginner’s foundation for budding spiritual herbalists, and an informative journey for herbal practitioners interested in the yogic, ayurvedic or tantric path.

The Yogi’s Apothecary rests on the foundational premise that seekers and practitioners of modern day yoga need strength in both body and mind in order to evolve spiritually.

We live in an age inflicted with irregular routines, poor lifestyle habits, stress and trauma. Due to this, it is challenging to know how to come into balance. You do not have to do this alone and this work can support you and others in all areas of your life.

Many people (especially yogis) have insomnia, digestive issues and stress related illnesses that can be healed at home with proper guidance and knowledge. Tantric Herbalism aims to empower these spiritual seekers through education.

Join us if you have a curiosity & passion for the deep wisdom Mother Nature has to offer, as well as a desire to be more empowered around your own and your family's health.

The Yogi's Apothecary is a program designed by Brooke Sullivan, an Herbal Yogini of over 20 years, who has supported hundreds of people on their yogic journey, with the plants. It is designed to reveal very simple (and ancient) techniques in understanding how our minds and bodies can be supported with the correct application of herbal tonics and remedies.

In the Yogi's Apothecary you will learn how to make things such as decoctions, tinctures, oxymels, churnas, chutneys, flower essences, ghee lamps, medicinal oils and teas. You will also acquire a solid connection (and possibly fall in love with) a number of plants for specific uses of plants for both body, mind, and spiritual attainment. Plant meditations for connecting to nature, and kitchen alchemy for getting you lit at home are sprinkled in throughout the complete journey.

Yogi's Apothecary Level 1 is called Bhumi Sadhana. It has 6 modules that build the foundation of Tantric Herbalism. Each module will focus on the building blocks of herbal wisdom from the Tantric, Ayurvedic + Yogic perspective: The Luminous Belly, Cleansing the Channels, Empowered Electricity, Mental Health + Acuity, Immune Strength + Adapting, Aphrodisiacs + Fertility, Heart health + Breath as Power.

"I so very much enjoyed this offering. Your explanation of Sankhya was brilliant and helped me deepen my understanding, especially as an integrated, embodied, holotropic expression of consciousness. Thank you for this!" - Mary Cate, Somatic Psychotherapist 2022.

Who is this program for?

The Yogi's Apothecary is for both yogis + non-yogis interested in reclaiming their own power to health, understanding the basics of herbal medicine, & wanting remedies and recipes that support vitality in their household.

It is also for people interested in the timeless teachings of the ancient sages and mystical tantrics - and what this has to do with plants.

How is this program offered?

Over the course of 4 weeks, you receive pre-recorded sets of audio & video capsules of wisdom, designed to bring you into the world of Tantric Herbalism. These are insightful + educational downloads that are a mixture of lecture, breathwork, plant monographs, recipes and kitchen alchemy. They aim to bring this profound, ancient Tantric wisdom into your home, heart and need.

The main body of this course is self-study, however, as an adjunct, you may schedule a private 1:1 course mentorship session with Brooke for personal guidance and direction. Basic questions can be asked on our free community page under #yogisapothecaryFAQ until the Tantric Herbal Collective (THC) community begins.

The THC will begin after module 2 is posted. It is our community membership portal where participants from the Yogi's Apothecary can ask in-depth questions during Brooke's regular office hourse, receive guidance, and learn in detail more supportive practices, plants, and Tantric Herbal wisdom.

Upon the completion of each of the modules, one will take a quiz to see how much you assimilated and in what areas you could grow. For those desiring certification as a Level 1 Tantric Herbalist, additional case studies will asked of you, per module. Please schedule an appt. with Brooke for info regarding case studies at brookeshannon.as.me.

Course feedback:

I dropped into finishing all the lessons in the Yogi’s Apothecary lately and I’ve loved it so much. I’ve even been getting reacquainted with some of the herbs that grow in my garden. The study of all that you’ve shared so far has lit me up so much and made me thirsty for more. I loved how I could do it at my own pace. Really easeful. -Clare Etchells, Scotland
