Global Herbalism for Skincare

Advanced: The Global Herbalism Approach to Healthy Skin for a Lifetime

July 27th

5PM, Pacific, 8PM, Eastern

The skin is the body’s largest organ and its most visible one, a living record of everything happening beneath it. It is barrier, sensory surface, immune organ, and detoxification pathway at once, and it reflects the state of the gut, the liver, the hormones, the nervous system, and the tissues it covers. Skin that stays healthy across a lifetime is rarely the product of what is applied to its surface alone. It is the product of how the whole system is tended over years and decades.

This advanced class brings the Global Herbalism framework to the care of skin as a lifelong project. Drawing together Ayurveda, Western herbalism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, alongside contemporary dermatological and nutritional science, it treats the skin not as a surface to be corrected but as an organ to be supported from within and without, across the full arc of a life.

Vastu Shastra

Foundations: Vastu - The Vedic Art of Interior and Exterior Design (Intro)

Aug 3, 2026

5 to 5:45 PM Pacific (8 to 8:45PM, Eastern)

Vastu Shastra, literally the science of dwelling, is one of the oldest and most complete systems of sacred architecture and spatial design in the world. It predates feng shui, and predates most architectural traditions still practiced today.

This course brings the essential principles of Vastu Shastra to life in a clear, practical, and immediately applicable way, with no prior knowledge required and no renovation necessary. This course is ideal for students of yoga and Ayurveda who want to expand their knowledge of the Vedic sister sciences, and for anyone who wants improve their home and office surroundings.

It serves as an excellent primer for our upcoming course series: Vastu Shastra for Harmonious Living and Working Spaces.

Herbs for Headaches and Migraines

Foundations: Why Am I Always Tired? – The Energy Reset Workshop

Aug 24, 2026

5 PM Pacific, 8 PM, Eastern

Tiredness is not one problem. It can come from many different sources, and the key to feeling better is figuring out which one is yours.

This friendly, accessible class brings the Global Herbalism approach to a question almost everyone asks at some point: why am I always tired? Drawing on the wisdom of Ayurveda, Western herbalism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with what modern science understands about energy, it offers a clear and practical way to begin understanding your own tiredness, no background or prior knowledge required.

Advanced: Global Herbalism Approach to Finally Get to the Root of Your Fatigue

Aug 31, 2026

5 PM Pacific, 8 PM, Eastern

Most advice treats tiredness as a single problem with a single fix: more sleep, more caffeine, a stimulating supplement. But persistent fatigue is rarely one thing. It is a signal, and it can arise from many different roots, the gut and digestion, blood sugar and energy metabolism, the thyroid and hormones, the stress-response system, iron and nutrient status, inflammation, sleep quality, and the nervous system, often several at once.

This advanced class brings the Global Herbalism framework to the question that quick fixes never answer: why are you actually tired? Drawing together Ayurveda, Western herbalism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside contemporary physiology and nutrition, it offers a structured way to think through the many possible roots of fatigue, so that support can be matched to the real cause rather than the surface symptom.

Professional: Vastu Shastra for Harmonious Living and Working Spaces

The spaces you live and work in shape your daily life in ways you rarely notice – your energy, your mood, your sleep, your relationships, and your sense of ease, yet most of us arrange our homes by habit or chance rather than by design. For thousands of years, the Indian tradition of Vastu Shastra has taught that the way a space is oriented and organized, its light, its directions, and its flow, quietly influences the wellbeing of everyone inside it. These ideas are far older, and far more practical, than most people realize. This course is ideal for anyone curious about Vastu for their home, apartment, or workplace, and for those who simply want to understand one of the world’s great traditions of harmonious design.

"I know today that herbs are capable of more than I ever dreamt was possible. KP Khalsa taught me that."

Studying herbalism and Ayurveda under KP Khalsa has been one of the greatest honors in my life. His experience and wisdom are unparalleled. Thanks to his meticulous instruction I have the ability and the confidence to build a career helping others feel better naturally in situations where they may have previously felt hopeless.

If you’re looking for herb garden tips, foraging and wildcrafting guidance, or folk method herbalism this school is not for you. If you want to learn kick-ass herbalism backed by millennia of tradition, validated by decades of hands on experience, and amplified by modern scientific understanding, you’re in the right place.

Speaking for myself, I’m doing everything I can to soak up as much of KP’s treasure trove of herbal wisdom as possible.
