RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER

This Herbal Apprenticeship program is multidimensional and offers you an invitation to experience profound, life-enhancing growth and transformation by empowering your authentic self and cultivating your gifts through reconnecting with the Earth, her plants, and one another.

We will work in a sacred circle, honoring each other’s uniqueness as well as our own, as we celebrate Earth holidays in the Wheel of the Year. As you grow in awareness and confidence that you are an essential strand in the web of life, you will naturally want to share your gifts to benefit the wider community. Dare to accept the challenge, for this is how we bring about change in the world.

In this pivotal moment of evolutionary chaos, we need to Center ourselves in reality, the ongoing cycles of transformation that Nature mirrors for us when we slow down and listen with our whole beings.
