Herbal Education
Wild Faith Herbal Magic School
6 month program
An Introduction to Herbal Intuitive Medicine
You are invited to participate in learning the wisdom of plants through hands-on experience with gardening, wildcrafting, medicine making, justice, entrepreneurship, embodiment, and magic.
Experience the ways of herbal medicine within ourselves by connecting with our ancestors, our intuition, and our earthly contributions.
Prepare to walk away with herbal knowledge rooted in cultural relativity, honorable harvest, spirit, ritual, and remedies.
Candidates for this apprentice-style program must be open to self-discovery, passionate about herbs, and available to learn about diversity, oppression, appropriation, rematriation, and liberation.
No previous herbal or gardening experience necessary. Geared towards “year two” herbalists.

This herbal magic school goes beyond just herbalism and gardening.
This program will address cultural appropriation, white supremacy, toxic use of the gender binary, and land occupation within Western Herbalism and beyond.
In this school, participants (including teachers) will be held accountable for changing these cultural paradigms within our community and within ourselves.
We will be learning tools for change and personal ways of empowerment through tenderness, empathy, self-love/care, and ritual.
This will greatly benefit us all personally and our communities of learning. Please contact us for further details on this intention.

“During my internship I felt as though I was constantly learning. I loved being in an environment where the work was fun and rewarding and the learning did not feel like a chore, but more of a conversation. I felt as though I left this internship with such a unique, vast amount of information that could not have possibly received in a classroom environment."
— Meg McDonald
"I have practical knowledge of how herbs are grown and processed as well as the ability to identify vitality and freshness of harvested or gathered plant material. In addition I have appreciation and gratitude for the hard work and relationship required to nurture plant life."
