WINTER HERBAL APPRENTICESHIP

Delve into the ancient practices of working with herbal medicine and form strong relationships with the plants as potent allies during this winter apprenticeship. Together in circle, we will explore medicinal plants to support the body systems, learn how to make common herbal preparations including salves, teas, tinctures, syrups, oils (and more!), and connect with the plants on a spirit level.

My goal is for each person to leave this apprenticeship with a solid understanding of how to work with herbs to support themselves and their families maintain health and wellbeing, and to build trust with the plants on both physical and energetic levels.

  • 1 Wednesday afternoon per month from 2pm-6pm in my home apothecary in Pownal, Maine

    • November 13th, December 11th, January 8th, February 5th, March 5th, April 2nd, April 30th

  • This will be an intimate circle with a maximum of 7 students. 

  • Each class will focus on a body system (digestive, immune, cardiovascular, etc.), and the herbs to support that system.

    • I will provide optional but recommended reading assignments and home herbal activities to further connect with the plants between classes.

    • Students will get to make and take home many herbal remedies during our time together to begin to build their own apothecary.

  • Energy exchange is $725 which includes a text book, all materials and many take home herbal goodies! I ask for a $200 deposit to hold your space. 1 partial scholarship is available (reach out for more info).

Due to a small group size, there will be plenty of time and space for individual inquiries and curiosities. May this be a fun, empowering, supportive, cozy, and meaningful wintertime experience! Please send an email of interest to allie@alliearmstrongwellness.com with the following information: Name, DOB, Email, Phone Number, Address, and:

  • What (if any) prior experience have you had working with plants?

  • What are you hoping to get out of our time together?

  • Are there any specific plants that you would like to get to know better?

I look forward to hearing from you! Please reach out with any questions, and I'm happy to provide more information.
