2024 SACRED PLANT MEDICINE APPRENTICESHIP
YEAR 1 : IN PERSON MULMUR, ONTARIO
The Gaia School’s Year One 8 Month Apprenticeship in Foundational Herbalism, Sacred Plant Medicine, Spiritual Ecology, and Holistic Healing. This course focuses on learning the essentials of plant medicine and developing strong relationships with our plant teachers. Students will build a strong foundation in herbalism through hands-on experience. Our Year One courses fill with a waitlist every year!
Join us as we explore deeper ways of connecting with our bodies and our natural environment. Our Sacred Plant Medicine Apprenticeships blend together Western herbalism with the traditional sacred plant medicine of our ancestors. We offer in-depth training where students learn plant medicine through direct hands-on experience and mentorship. Every class we weave together ceremony and tea meditation, with lectures and hands-on experience working with healing plants.
For all in-person classes students are able to harvest an abundance of medicinal plants, herb seeds, and wild foods for their own use and learning. All courses include optional home practice, readings, and class recordings to explore between apprenticeship weekends.
Certification for each course will be given upon completion of each apprenticeship. Students combine herbal medicine with many other healing modalities and often go on to incorporate plant medicine into their careers in many different ways - growing medicinal plants, medicine making, teaching, opening healing practices, working with family and community - using plant medicine to benefit social, environmental, and collective healing.
