Our Plant Medicine Apprenticeship is an intensive journey into

intended to be a spiritual journey as well as a course in medicinal

herbalism. Classes include lecture, ritual, guided journeying,

hands-on work with plants, medicine making, journeying with plant

spirits, tasting plant infusions and extracts, meditations with

nature, earth and body awareness, journal writing, and deep

exploration with the spirit of the earth. Students learn to identify

and use plants for medicine, form plant allies, and prepare medicinal

teas, tinctures, essences, infusions, oils, incenses, and salves with

plants from around the world. Students will learn to use the energies

of the moon, sun, earth and the elements in their practice and treat

imbalances in the body.

The course will be limited to 15 people. Please feel free to

contact Sage with any questions, at thegaiaschool@..., or call

(617)-838-8094. At the end of the 9 month program, each student will

be brought into the inter-connected web of world healers through

ritual and celebration, given gifts of initiation, and will be

certified from theschool in herbal healing and plant spirit medicine.

This Apprenticeship is open to anyone interested, regardless

of their gender, belief system, past experience, or knowledge of

plants. We have had both advanced students and beginners as

apprentices, and both men and women. Though the course does often

stress the energy of the Mother present in the earth, both yin and

yang energies present in all things is honored. Women tend to be the

majority in our apprenticeships but green men are welcome and greatly

appreciated in our circle.
