Walking The Herbal Path
The Earth Medicine Way
13 Moons Plant Medicine Apprentice Journey
LIVE In-Person at ElderMoon School's Studio in Woodstock, NY
It's a two way street with our sweet Earth. We seek the medicine from Nature and in return, through the walk, through the journey, we become Earth's medicine. Welcome to a journey designed for the complete beginner as well as those who have studied elsewhere. We walk as women together monthly for the entire 13 Moons and adjust the weave within the fabric of who we are which responds to the immeasurable substance that honors and supports the cyclic nature of the plants and our close walk with them. This is about expanding and integrating so we each find our own unique rhythm with the plants. Each group, each year, is a deep unfolding and gorgeous journey of sharing as we grow and cultivate ourselves with the plants and learn how to be in a more direct and intimate relationship with them, the elements, the landscapes, and Nature. Life changes are assured. Support is here. Celebration is here. The joy and humor of gathering as women is here. This course is for women to honor the mysteries of being woman that unfold naturally in such a setting as we engage the 'nature-based practice of herbalism' where we become part of the medicine for Earth.
Your tuition includes the 'Birthing an Herbalist in 13 Moons' on-line course which provides our structure so we can jump path at times to explore that which is difficult to translate to an on-line experience. So we meet for 13 months, you receive lessons on-line for the 13 months, and continue to have access to our on-line classroom for 2 years. You also receive 2 year access to the 'Monthly Herbalist Councils' for your time here at EMS of Herbs. One hour per month, live Q&A with an herbally-oriented topic which is always recorded and archived. The archive library is growing beautifully!

A Few Details....For The In-Person Group Circling In Woodstock, NY
Place:
ElderMoon School's studio space, gardens and wild places, Woodstock, NY.
Time & Meals:
10am-4pm
Pot luck share wrapped around amazing pots of soup I've made for years. Mealtime is always a great collaborative success and place for building strong community as we share.
Computer Access:
High speed internet is necessary for you to access our "Birthing an Herbalist in 13 Moons' virtual classroom and to save you from needing to write so much in class. This is helpful but not required to successfully attend this class. I see the on-line course as a living textbook that evolves along with us. All lessons are in PDf format for downloading or sending to a print shop to make a notebook you can weave into with live sessions.
