Intermediate Herbal Apprenticeship 10 Wednesdays, September 2023 - June 2024 (4:00pm - 8:30pm) September 27, October 18, November 15, December 13, January 10, January 31, March 20, April 17, May 8, June 5 Hosted in Portland, Maine.
Afternoons will focus on assessment skills development. We'll explore tongue, pulse, facial assessment, and ethics during this time. After supper, we'll explore the more intangible relationships we hold with the plants.
My hope is for you to complete these months with a firm belief in your intuition and relationship with the plants - particularly with those plant teachers who have shown up in your Life in unexpected ways and who have become reliable friends.
There will be approximately six to ten hours of "Home Exploration" each month - primarily relating to assessment tools practice, personal reflection, and relationship building with the plants.
The energy exchange is $1500 - $2000 for the series. We'll hold circle for six to twelve participants. Our class will be very much alive with who we each are. Please contact Mischa with your interest: wildcarrotherbs@gmail.com
Clinical Herbal Apprenticeship Ten Wednesdays from September 2023 - June 2024, 9:30am - 2:30pm September 27, October 18, November 15, December 13, January 10, January 31, March 20, April 17, May 8, June 5 Hosted in Portland, Maine.
The primary focus of our time together is to build your trust in yourself through self reflection, deepening relationships with the plants, further development of clinical skills and sitting with clients in the Apothecary. We'll also discuss the practical considerations in developing a clinical practice (accounting, networking, apothecary building, etc.)
My hope is for you to complete these months with a firm belief in your intuition and relationship with the plants - particularly with those plant teachers who have shown up in your Life in unexpected ways and who have become reliable friends.
I want you to trust yourself. A piece of this work is personal Hollow Bone work. Taking care of our own challenges is a part of supporting others. It won't be a primary focus of our time in circle together, though our circle will provide a container of safety to pursue this personal investigation outside of circle.
We'll have a client session at 10:00am each morning, in which we will be holding sacred community space for the person coming in. We will create a tea and/or tincture for them, and over the next month between classes we'll explore case studies and begin working with clients.
There will be approximately six to ten hours of "Home Exploration" each month - research, protocol development, assessment tools practice, and personal reflection.
The energy exchange for the full apprenticeship is $1800 - $2000.
