A wonderful gathering together and commitment to deepening our connection with the plants.
Together we will explore:
* making tinctures, oils, salves, infusions, decoctions and flower essences
* tastes of the plants and actions they impart in the body
* systems of the body and how to strengthen them with plant medicine
* herbal formulation and plant identification
* spiritual relationship with the plants through journeying and dreaming
The garden in our little backyard holds over seventy medicine plants, some indigenous to Maine and New England, some originally native to Europe. Over the course of the year, we spend time with these plants - tasting them as teas, harvesting and making medicines with them (tinctures, glycerites, honeys, oils, salves, and bundles.) We listen to the plants as we sit with them - and notice the actions present in our mouth (hot/cold/moist/dry) and observe where they land in our bodies - and if any memories or emotions become present - and then we share our noticings...
It's extraordinary, and also fun and meaningful.
There's an excellent book that comes with the class that supports our monthly explorations as we work through a different body system each month.
Our apprenticeship will hold the container for our discoveries. Welcome!
Location in Portland.
The maximum number of students is twelve. Babes in arms are welcome!
Students 14 years of age and older are welcome!
The energy exchange for the full apprenticeship is sliding scale $1500 - $1800. A $200 deposit holds your place.
This includes the book for the class and our medicine making materials.
There is one scholarship space available. Please be in touch if financial hardship is impacting your ability to join circle.
Please contact Mischa with an email of interest, describing what you hope to learn about yourself and the plants during our time together. Very much looking forward to hearing from you!
PLANTS GUIDING: Intermediate Herbal Apprenticeship, September 2023 - June 2024
10 Thursdays, September 2023 - June 2024 (4:00pm - 8:30pm)
September 28, October 19, November 16, December 14, January 11, February 8, March 14, April 4, May 9, June 6
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.
Here's what you can expect (in addition to a fun, playful dynamic!)
Afternoons of assessment skill development:
* Tongue
* Pulse
* Face
* Finger/toe nail
* ethics
After supper we'll explore:
* energetics
* case studies
* energy fields
* visualization techniques
* becoming a plant
* occasional Mystery Herb exploration between sessions
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.

PLANTS HEALING: Clinical Herbal Apprenticeship + Case Study Supervision, Sept 2023 - June 2024
Ten Tuesdays from September 2023 - June 2024, 9:00am - 3:30pm
September 26, October 17, November 14, December 12, January 9, February 6, March 12, April 2, May 7, June 4
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.)
This is a supervision circle to support new practitioners to trust their intuition and skill set!
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.
Please contact Mischa with your interest: wildcarrotherbs@gmail.com
As always, I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Mischa
