About Me
Hi! I’m Rebekah Celeste—mentor at The Georgic Schoolroom, musician, poet, herbalist, teacher, photographer, painter, and life-long learner. I’m in love with learning and have spent years studying anything that sparks my curiosity. I’ve taken courses at UVU, The Georgic Schoolroom, Dr. Patrick Jones’ Homegrown School of Botanical Medicine, 4 years at a Classical Liberal Arts College, and many online programs. If something peaks my interest, I’m ready to learn.
​
In the summer, I teach at The Georgic Schoolroom, helping students reconnect with nature, plants, and their themselves. The rest of the year, I travel to communities with my Herbal Candy Class, making it easier (and tastier!) for families to use herbs for healing common health problems at home.
​
Music was my first language, and creativity is my heartbeat—whether through painting, poetry, music, solving a problem, or teaching my friends something they want to know. Have fun exploring my webpage and let me know what I can do for you!
You can text me at 435-459-1554.
(Stay tuned for the updates to this page coming soon!)

My Inspiration
When I found out that I could walk outside and pick a flower in my yard to help the common cold, I fell in love with natural healing. Plants are powerful medicine, and many of the weeds growing all around us have incredible healing properties. I was enamored by the possibilities of taking care of the body using common plants and weeds that we find in our gardens and yards. I created the class I wish I had when I was starting to discover the world of herbs. I wanted to learn something that was understandable, to the point, and doable.
​​​​
So what will you learn???
-How to grow, harvest, and use these six essential herbs:
🌿 Yarrow
🌿 Plantain
🌿 Comfrey
🌿 Cayenne
🌿 Calendula
🌿 Mullein
​
-How to turn an herb that you really need into a healthy treat that makes being sick much more enjoyable! With each herb we learn about I’ll share recipes (and taste tests!) so even the pickiest eaters can enjoy their medicine. (For those of you who are curious about the candy part of this…All my recipes are sweetened with honey or maple syrup which are healthier alternatives to sugar giving you a no-guilt herbal candy that the kids will love to eat!)
​
-6 key principles that apply to any herb to help them work effectively in the body.

Fun Fact:
All of the herbs I use in class came from my herb garden at The Georgic Schoolroom last growing season! (The picture at the top of the page is from the summer of 2024:) I wanted to bring you herbs from my garden so that you can know the quality of the herb you are getting. This includes the herbs you will take home as a free gift and the ones I have available for you to purchase in glycerides (for treats!), tinctures, and as the dry leaf as well.

How it Works:
I come to your community to teach a class. When a person signs up as a host I will come to their house (or a free building in the community), and teach a group of people that they invited and signed up. The class is 3 hours and costs $100 a person. In gratitude for hosting me, the workshop is free for my host. (If you would like to come to a class instead of hosting, reach out to me and I will let you know of classes in your area!) Do you want to host a class? Let's arrange it!
