About the Women's Herbal Immersion Program
This experiential/hands on learning program is designed to be a vessel for cultivating powerful relationships with our local medicinal and edible plant relatives as well as healing skills to apply into daily life. We learn basic skills that help us to cultivate our self-awareness we learn to deepen our relationships with the sentient life that surrounds us. We apply ancient tools to help us refine our skills in becoming attentive to observing patterns, cycles and concepts occurring in the natural world and learning how our bodies can be a metaphor for what is happening around us. We learn practical herbalism skills to apply for ourselves and our families. We work to grow our muscle of awareness with the intention to create harmony between our bodies inner rhythm’s and the larger rhythm's of life that surrounds us for healing. The heart of this apprenticeship program is to facilitate opportunities to surrender into our authentic self to discover our innate intelligence through connection with the plant people, nature, healing, yoga, and powerful feminine group dynamics. The group dynamics are the portal for deep learning. It is a place of safety, support and confidentiality.

Testimonials
"Deb's plant class has been one of the most, if not THE most, transforming things I have ever done in my life. It has been an ineffable journey of the soul and connection with the earth and my fellow sisters.Deb's ability to hold space, and gently yet powerfully push us all into our greatness is astounding. I have learned so much about creating relationship with the plant world and have been empowered in my healing journey in a way I have never experienced before. In this class I have learned things about the body and it's incredible relationship with plants that I believe everyone should know. The gratitude I have for Deb and the women and plants who have held me and allowed themselves to be held these past 5 months is immeasurable. Thank you thank you thank you." Sincerely, Rebecca Favero
"I am so grateful for this experience to learn about plant medicine in a collaborative, natural, challenging and joyful way. I've appreciated how it isn't just a class about plants but a whole schooling experience on relationships. How to be in balanced relationship with one's self (letting go of addictions, taking off the masks, committing to nourishment and healing), with the living world, with each other and with all the incredible plant people. Deb is an excellent guide to this experience- she is very humble and open, allowing the medicine to flow through. She gives us productive and meaningful "growthwork" and asks direct questions that challenge us to step into our individual gifts and to show up as our brightest and truest selves. The program has a great balance of practical medicine making and harvesting, emotional release and direct plant healing experiences, deepening understanding of the human body (how the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, etc. all function in harmony and dis-ease), community support and plant dreaming. Thank you Deb!" ~Kate Shavel
