This apprenticeship will deepen your skills of foraging for wild edibles, medicinals and growing herbs on a small to medium scale. You will fill your home apothecary throughout the season with what we create together in class. 

 

Build resiliency with a community that honors and respects all the earth so generously offers. 

Reconnect with the greatest teacher of all, the earth. Expand your gardening skills, medicine making recipes, materia medica, and plant identification in real time outside in the fields with Hannah.  

 

This apprenticeship is hands-on, practical, and fills a deep longing for living in right-relationship with nature. You will begin in spring with empty baskets and you will end the year in autumn with shelves full of hand-crafted herbal medicine. In this 8-month apprenticeship at Sweet Birch Herbals with Hannah, we will dive into our ancestral roots of earth based healing. We will seek guidance from our ancestors, alive and passed, who came from a lineage of healers, herbalists, witches, farmers, homesteaders and shamans. We all have family history rooted in the earth because nature has always supported humanity in evolution. Even if you don’t know who your ancestors were, they are here, waiting to share their wisdom with you.
