Syllabus

Each session begins with a guided meditation and decompression space. We spend time enjoying the company of a single focal herb each session and exploring that ally in detail through stories, actions, energetics, ceremony, and medicine taking. Each class also includes an esteddfod section where we share a story, myth, or other bit of inspiration to contemplate over the coming days.

We work with 6 incredible textbooks which provide other voices for the student to learn from as we move through the year together.

Note: Session flow is subject to change based on weather and availability of supplies.
