PLANTS SPEAKING: Beginning Herbal Apprenticeship: September 2025 - June 2026
Nine Wednesdays, September 2025 - June 2026, 9:00am to 3:30pm (OPEN, and welcome!)
Sept 24, Oct 29, Dec 10, Jan 7, Feb 11, March 4, April 15, May 6, June 3
A wonderful gathering together and commitment to deepening our connection with the plants that is VERY spirited and joyful!
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, fun, and empowering.
It reconnects us to our intuition if we've somehow lost that sense.
An excellent book comes with class and supports our monthly explorations as we work through a different body system each time we're gathered.
Our apprenticeship will holds a meaningful container for our herbal 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 $1850- $2100. A $200 deposit holds your place. Payment plants are available.
This includes the book for the class and our medicine making materials.
Paying above $1850 supports scholarship.
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 2025 - June 2026
Eight Thursdays, October 2025 - June 2026, 9:00am to 3:30pm (OPEN, and welcome!)
Oct 30, Dec 11, Jan 8, Feb 12, March 5, April 16, May 7, June 4
Our mornings will focus on assessment skills development. After lunch, 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!)
Mornings of assessment skill development:
* Tongue
* Pulse
* Face
* Finger/toe nail
* ethics
After lunch we'll explore:
* energetics
* case studies
* medicine making
* 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 hours of "Home Exploration" each month - primarily relating to assessment tools practice, personal reflection, and relationship building with the plants.
Our class will be very much alive with who we each are!

PLANTS HEALING: Clinical Herbal Apprenticeship + Case Study Supervision
Seven Fridays from October 2025 - May 2026, 9:00am - 3:30pm
Oct 31, Dec 12, Jan 9, Feb 13, March 6, April 17, May 8
Hosted in Portland, Maine.
Friday mornings: sit with two clients
Friday afternoons: protocol formulation and apothecary preparation
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 and creating formulas in the Apothecary.
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.
During our client sessions, 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 months continue to support their care.
There will be approximately two hours of "Home Exploration" each week - reading, research, protocol development, assessment tools practice, personal reflection, synthesis, and DEEP CONNECTION WITH THE PLANTS.
The energy exchange for the full apprenticeship is sliding scale $1850- $2100. A $200 deposit holds your place.
Paying above $1850 supports scholarship.
