Join us for an OPTIONAL in-person, hands-on immersion to connect with nature and each other and integrate the teachings. We have an immersion for each season so you can learn about that season's plants, nature, and environment.
Immersions are OPTIONAL and attendance is not mandatory to participate in the Year-Long Herbal Arts Apprenticeship. You are welcome to attend whichever ones you can or none at all.
Immersions are also open to all students to register, regardless of whether you enroll in the year-long apprenticeship, although participating in the apprenticeship provides you with a comprehensive and deeper background.
