Original Instructions are instructions for living as Human Beings who exist with, and from Earth. The Original Instructions School of Traditional Medicine and Practical Skills has gathered holistic and traditional practitioners from around the world to provide you with accessible education in areas of study that support, exemplify, and preserve ways of human life which are in alignment with the Original Instructions - without culturally appropriating.
All Original Instructions School educational offerings are rooted in indigenous perspectives, which are inseperable from the knowing that Earth is a living and sentient being to whom we belong.
Original Instructions School of Traditional Medicine and Practical Skills offers classes, workshops, and certification programs online and in person.
