I’m very happy with the course. There’s so much valuable knowledge and everything is clearly explained. I think the structure of the program is excellent.
Each new module is incredibly informative, and I truly feel this course is outstanding. I’m so glad I decided to join. The teacher is excellent.

I’m so grateful that I saw an advertisement from Graskonan.is about the herbalism program. I had wanted to study herbal medicine for a long time, but since it wasn’t taught in Iceland, I never took the step. That’s why it felt like a true gift from above to discover that this program was offered online.

I’ve never regretted enrolling — even in the first few days, I saw how beautifully organized the course was, and I constantly felt like I was learning something new. María, our teacher, is a wellspring of knowledge with an incredibly calm and supportive presence. Her teaching methods are truly exemplary.

I love that I can reach out to her anytime I need answers or guidance about the course material or assignments. Even though I’ve only recently started, I’ve already gained more knowledge than I ever imagined possible. The program is incredibly motivating, and herbalism has opened up a fascinating new world for me.

I also really appreciate the Facebook group, where we share assignments and advice — it’s a wonderfully encouraging and supportive community. Everyone is so willing to help and share their experience, and María is excellent at leading the group and keeping us connected. The communication there is truly a model of how a learning community should be.

Thank you so much — I can’t wait to learn more and continue exploring the wonder-filled world of herbal medicine.

María Hrefna possesses deep knowledge and a true passion for herbal medicine, and it clearly shines through in this program. She is incredibly attentive to her students, provides excellent guidance, and adapts her teaching style to meet different needs.
The course itself is very well structured, and the assignments are both fun and creative. It’s clear that she has poured a great deal of effort and dedication into building this program.
María has an exceptional talent for sharing knowledge and creating an environment that encourages deeper understanding and genuine interest in the material.
I am incredibly grateful for this course, and it is an honor to learn from her.

A very fascinating program — rich in knowledge and presented clearly. I’m incredibly excited for what’s ahead, because I can already sense that the full depth of herbalism will unfold over this two-year journey.
I don’t need to memorize or master everything right away — it will come gradually through repetition and consistent practice.

When I started this program, I was diving in completely blind — I knew absolutely nothing about plants.
I have to say, this is an incredibly fun and challenging course. It completely draws you in — everything I learn becomes so fascinating that even though it’s still early, I’ve already considered opening a seaweed factory (we were learning about seaweed), becoming a mushroom farmer (when we studied fungi), and most recently, growing every medicinal plant in the world.
This is only the third month, but the possibilities feel endless.
I’m also grateful that we’re allowed to learn at our own pace, since our backgrounds and knowledge about plants vary. The course is well structured, in-depth, and gives us the chance to connect with each other during class, collaborate on assignments, and talk about what we’re learning — which makes the experience even better.
María is a great teacher, and you can really feel that all questions are welcome and always answered with care and thoughtfulness.

Fun – Creative – Full of Learning!

I consider myself incredibly lucky to have come across the ad for this herbalism program with Grasakonan, because the course is both enjoyable and deeply educational.

One of the standout features of this program is how it encourages creativity and personal interests to flourish through fun hands-on projects and brainstorming sessions. Practice truly makes progress — and the experience becomes the teacher!

Every week, students and the instructor meet on Zoom. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for connection and discussion. They help us stay on track through casual check-ins and collaborative work, while also strengthening the community. It’s wonderful to connect with others who share a passion for herbal medicine and to be able to exchange insight and experiences.

Grasakonan, María Hrefna, has created an outstanding program through her unique skills and deep insight into the field. Her approach clearly shows the care and thoughtfulness behind each part of the curriculum, and it’s obvious that great effort has gone into building a seamless and progressive learning experience.
