grow your own medicine
Making medicine begins with relationship
Relationship to the Earth, the soils, the plants, the waters, the elements, the ancestors and thyself. The ritual and connection that goes into medicine making is truly beautiful – the times of listening to the plants, tending to them working the soil, saving the seeds, dreaming with the Earth, communing with them, infusing them with love, prayer and gratitude.
Gain the knowledge and skills necessary to nurture a thriving herbal garden and craft your own herbal remedies!
In this apprenticeship, you will be guided into relationship with over 30 plant allies, walking with them through their full cycle — from seed to harvest. Along the way, you’ll learn not only how to grow and tend them, but also how to listen for their wisdom and craft their medicine.
By the end of the course, you will:
Create your own mini herbal apothecary
Go home with over 30 handcrafted plant remedies
Receive a full set of monographs that teach you how to work with each plant — their actions, energetics, and traditional uses
This journey offers both practical medicine-making skills and a deeper connection to the spirit of the plants, so that you leave with confidence, knowledge, and living allies at your side.
