FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.
This lecture introduces participants to the Doctrine of Signatures- an ancient approach that suggests a plant’s appearance offers insight into its healing properties.
This is a way of seeing plants as teachers, each bearing visible signs of their healing gifts. Rooted in Hermetic philosophy, folk tradition, and deep observation, this presentation invites participants to attune to the symbolic language of the green world.
Explore the historical roots of this concept, its use in both folk and clinical herbalism, and practical examples of plant signatures that connect form with function.
Through stories and clinical examples, learn about how the colors, shapes, and gestures of a plant offer clues to its purpose.
Tricia bridges traditional wisdom and contemporary herbal practice, offering both inspiration and useful frameworks for herbalists, students, and plant lovers alike.
Tricia Amara is a clinical herbalist with over 30 years of experience in herbology, nutrition, and holistic healing. A professional member of the American Herbalists Guild, her approach combines deep-rooted traditional wisdom with evidence-based practice.
With academic training in biology, botany, and nutrition from Willamette University, Oregon State University, and post-graduate studies through UC San Diego and the Ojai Center for Phytotherapy, Tricia offers individualized care that addresses the root causes of imbalance.
Raised on the island of Maui with a physician father, Tricia’s early exposure to both conventional medicine and the healing power of nature shaped her lifelong calling. Her practice began as a clinic and apothecary in Encinitas, California and now flourishes in Ashland, Oregon.
She specializes in creating customized herbal treatment plans using teas, tinctures, and topical remedies, while empowering clients to reconnect to body, nature, and self.
