The building analogy hits home. I built a home once. I didn't invent any of the processes I used. I learned from books and builders I worked with. Building codes created guardrails, but they allowed for Strawbale homes, Adobe homes, and 3D homes to be built as the code adapted to include them, yet make them safe. If over the years I remodeled the home multiple times, it is still the same home at the same address. My herbal journey has been built on the shoulders of others, as well as the tools of today: books, seminars, YouTube, Facebook, and AI. I hope to keep learning and growing, with humility and, as Ted Lasso pointed out, to "be curious".

Glad the analogy works for you! To roll with it - over the coming months we will be talking about why our constructs are more like stick frame than stone masonry. And what terms and concepts are foundational vs ones that might need some repair or replacement. And how different constructs play out in clinic. It’s going to be fun!

Just a quick note of appreciation for the teachings and offerings from eclectic school over the years. I may not be struck by bolts of insight lightning, (slow learner with brain fog), but I always feel enriched by the generosity behind such cogent and trustworthy knowledge shared— down to the deep list of readings/references. Many thanks.
