Our Associates - Enhancing Our Offerings

 

Lasseter Wellventures works closely with several trusted companions in this work of Wellbeing Education.  These professionals provide their knowledge through workshops and modules found in our many courses.  These teachers enrich our Wellventures curriculum with practical skills. 

 

 

Mike Masek -  Herbalist and Ethnobotanist

Mike's main focus of study is ethnobotany: the way humans have used and interacted with the plant world. He currently specializes in traditional medicinal and wild edible plants of the American Southwest.

Mike attended the University of New Mexico and Northern Arizona University and has a Master’s degree in Education.  He is adjunct faculty at Northern Arizona University and has taught programs at national parks, community colleges and outdoor education centers throughout the southwest. 

Mike joins us from his School of Herbalism and Ethnobotanical studies in Flagstaff, AZ, The Forager's Path  With  Mike you will learn not only about the medicinal and ancient uses of local plants and materials, but also practical ways that you can apply this knowledge today in your lives.

Thomas Arnold - Agriculture and Sustainability

Thomas takes us on a back-to-basics journey into self-reliance and improved quality of life through home-based and small-scale farming and pastoralism.  Thomas can guide you through the journey to a sustainable lifestyle from philosophy to infrastructure to harvest to table.

Thomas has contributed significantly over the last decade to building the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement of Prescott, AZ from zero to thriving.  Locals know, you probably have enjoyed his vegetables.

Thomas works with our schools and youth and with many families here as well as veterans and recovery centers.  Look for him and Hercules (photo) ambling around town between farms and say Hello.  Tap into his inexhaustable energy and his Roots movement for improved self-reliance.
