An Invitation

Hi! I am Sarah Wu, your friendly Village Witch. I am really excited to bring this course to you after so many years of curriculum development and facilitation. I have been almost exclusively teaching in live immersive retreat style settings, and I have realized that this makes it difficult for people to attend. Because of time restrictions, long flights, and the ever rising cost of housing, my courses have not been fully accessible.

Bringing this course to life virtually and over an extended period of time, allows for us to deepen not only with the plants, but also as a community. This is a place for us to practice, and get more confident working with the plants and clients, so you can be that person in your town who folks turn to for help. You can make herbalism your livelihood, and I can help you feel good about doing that. I am seeking students who have already been studying on their own, who have taken short or even long foundations courses and are looking to level up.

Join me for a small container
of fellow herbalists
looking to deepen your practice.

This course is limited to only 25 students, with a minimum of 12, so we have the space to grow as a close as we discover more ways to support our friends, family, and communities with the gentle and potent power of the plants.

This Journey is for Those

• Who have been immersed in personal study and are ready for mentorship and guidance to become practicing herbalists
• Who want to deepen your understanding of body systems and the dynamics of plant formulations
• Craving mentorship within a supportive community
• Seeking a grounded, ethical, earth-based path
• Wanting herbal skills for your community and clinical practice
• Desire connection to your intuition and science into one whole system
• Looking to develop their livelihood as an herbalist
