Return to Nature Monthly Group Mentorship Program: Herbalism and Foraging Training 2014, in Somerset NJ
This year, 2014, I’ll be taking 6-8 personal students for a year-long training program. I’ll be systematically teaching them to work in depth with the diverse plant teachers of the land. Each student will be getting to know the plants inside and out, and work with care and attention to the subtleties of the plant world throughout the learning process; learning the seasonal harvesting times, and growing deeper awareness of what is surrounding us.
This course is designed to lead you into a deep intimate and instinctual knowing with plants and their medicine offerings. From observing and understanding the ecosystem intimately comes building your herbal apothecary and knowledge base of the plants and how to work with them.
This Course Includes:
