🌿 A Summer Update
Thank you for Visiting Kodiak Herbal !This summer I’m away leading workshops, connecting people with the land, and taking a short break to recharge before a busy fall season.
While I’m away, I’m also creating a refreshed website that will make it easier to explore programs, learn about our offerings, and book experiences.
Please note that our online booking calendar is temporarily unavailable.
If you’d like to book a workshop, inquire about a school or corporate program, or ask a question, please email me directly at info@kodiakherbal.com . I’ll reply as soon as I’m able.
The new online experience is expected to launch after August 20, and I’m excited to share it with you.
Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to connecting with you this fall.
Warmly,
Kalyn Kodiak
