Distance
Folk Herbalism Mentorships
A small group of 4-6 students for 2024
Join me Julie Gaia for 12 distance sessions of
Folk Herbalism teachings and Plant Spirit Medicine Journeys.
This mentorship is for folks who would like to study from
the comfort of their own home. It is for personal interest.
I will share about plants from Ontario that live near me.
You will learn how to make medicine in your kitchen and stir up the healing wisdom of your ancestors.
​
I do believe that mentorship is best in person, yet over the past few years I have had many requests for an online version.
I am excited to share my love of the plants wherever
you are in the world.
​
Commitment:
Two 2 hour sessions (with a break) 2 x per month
for 6 months via Zoom. (August is off)

The 1st Tuesday session of the month will cover Folk Herbalism teachings and the 2nd Tuesday will be a plant spirit medicine journey & a focused class. You will receive a welcome package in the mail in April.
Each month I will send you a plant medicines that I personally
