Application

Waitlist Applications for the 2022-2023 program will open on September 1, 2021. Please come back at that time to apply.

PREREQUISITES

Prerequisites help ensure I'm the right teacher for you, and that the tradition of herbalism I share is aligned with who you are as an individual.
Prereqs are not due at the time of application- please apply promptly! They are due before January 1.

Attend at least two in-person or online community classes with Josh and write a brief overview of the class, your experiences, what you enjoyed/didn't enjoy, what resonated, what challenged you, or anything you are inspired to share based on the class. You can find many free online classes to watch <<here>>
Meet with Josh in person for an informal chat. Your chance yo ask questions, get some deeper insight into the program, and confirm your spot.
Read/Listen: The Secret Teachings of Plants by Stephen Harrod Buhner and/or Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and write a detailed book report or experience journal about what you learned, how it inspired you, what you resonated or didn't resonate with, or any of your personal journeys based on the information in that text. This book is also available on Audible.
Read all sections of the school website, especially 'reality checks' and the complete syllabus

ENROLLMENT

Enrollment happens in two stages:
1) Submit your application and commit to completing your prerequisites by January 1. Application does not guarantee entry but gives you a place in line for interviews which upon successful completion do confirm your place in line.
2) On January 2 of each year all applicants who have completed their prerequisites, interviews, and are in the first 6 spots in line will be offered a spot in the program. Please be prepared to pay your first quarter of tuition ($550) at this time to secure your spot. Any of the 6 spots not taken will be offered to folks on the waiting list in order of their completed applications. Applicants who do not get in for the current stream will be moved to the front of the line for the following year.
