Embark on an immersive 12-month herbal apprenticeship rooted in earth-based wisdom and practical healing traditions. This comprehensive program guides participants through the body’s systems, weaving together anatomy and physiology, herbal therapeutics, energetic understanding, and holistic approaches to wellness through diet, lifestyle, and spiritual connection.
Our circle of Wise Women will gather monthly to explore one body system at a time—studying its physical functions, associated herbs, energetic themes, and the ways we can support healing through plant medicine. We’ll also cover key safety considerations, herbal contraindications, and the vital importance of understanding people—not just plants. Each session includes hands-on medicine-making to build your apothecary and deepen your relationship with the herbs.
We’ll move through the body in a thoughtfully sequenced progression:
Digestive system, immune system, liver, lymphatic system, integumentary system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, male and female reproductive systems, and finishing with the urinary tract system.
Between gatherings, participants will complete readings and assignments to integrate the teachings and prepare for the next class. This intermediate-level apprenticeship is designed for those who already have foundational herbal knowledge—whether through the Wild Women’s Herbal Apprenticeship or a comparable program and who are serious about deepening their relationship with herbalism.
