Cindy is a kind, humble and downright joyful human and wonderful teacher. She approaches her classes with solid structure and information, but leaves essential room for play and connection. I love that she encourages us to build the foundation of our own relationship with plants before working with them. She's a true devotee to Nature and makes it feel possible to deepen my own herbalism practice.

When it comes to health I am a person that looks at "how things used to be" so naturally I was drawn to herbalism, but I didn't really know where to start.  When I saw Cindy's class for the Seeds of Herbalism, I was interested but a little hesitant.  Now, I am so happy I took the leap of faith and can't wait to see what this path has in store for me.  Cindy is a knowledgeable herbalist with years of experience and she will challenge you to go out and apply your knowledge.  The class is small and intimate so your questions will be answered and every class you'll feel like a part of something bigger. If this is a path you are interested in, I highly recommend taking classes with Cindy :).

I had a great experience attending Seeds of Herbalism class; Cindy is a great teacher!  The class was held at The Worldbeat Cultural Center’s meditation garden, which is not only beautiful but added to the serene atmosphere of the class.  This was my introduction into herbalism and has changed my relationship with and appreciation of plants.  I learned so much in the class and have incorporated my new-found knowledge into my everyday life.

As an added plus, I met wonderful and interesting people who all added to the positive energy of the experience!

I recently completed "Seeds of Herbalism-An Introduction to the Art & Science of Herbalism" with Cindy Saylor at the World Beat Center Ethnobotany Peace Garden, and it was an exceptional experience. Over six Sundays, Cindy guided us through a wide range of topics, including grounding & rooting, traditions, vitalism, energetics of the plants and herbal actions, and so much more. We learned practical ways to incorporate herbalism into our daily lives. Her deep knowledge and enthusiasm for herbalism were infectious, making every session engaging and enjoyable. Cindy's passion for the subject shone through, and her ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible way truly enriched our learning. This class was not only informative but also an inspiring journey into the world of herbalism. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the power of plants and holistic health!

"I am a very private person - and sometimes find sharing personal information difficult. Cindy has a wonderful ability to gently and respectfully learn what parts of your life and health would benefit from examination - and guiding you to remedies, both herbal and self reflection. The areas I was struggling with when I received my consultation - were brought into kind and logical focus - and Cindy's guidance and herbal recommendations have made a huge difference in my life. I remain thankful for her ongoing help.” - Susan

Cindy's a wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable person to work with. She guided me through my current eating habits and made the adjustments that were easy to follow. She also recommended supplements and herbal tea blends which I particularly enjoyed. Her calm demeanor and kind personality really resonated with me and I highly recommend her and her work! - Diana

Cindy is a delight. I am truly thankful to have her on my side. She has been immensely supportive in my journey and empowered me toward greater health and vitality. Cindy is thorough in her approach and works as a team to peel back layers and uncover issues. In our work together, she provided many new tools, as well as introduced me to healthy recipes and herbal remedies. She is intuitive and logical, caring and thoughtful. Cindy has the heart of a healer and her joyful connection to the plants and natural world is contagious. ~Sarah
