DEVAS DAUGHTERS
BIOREGIONAL, LAND BASED
BEGINNING COMMUNITY HERBALIST TRAINING
BIPOC HERBAL APPRENTICESHIP
* A deva refers to any of the spiritual forces or beings behind nature; nature spirits. A devas daughter is a daughter of the land.
Devas Daughters is a seasonal, BIPOC apprenticeship working with plant medicine...an exploration of the land through a complete sensory connection with the plant, animal, mineral, human and spirit life present at Soul Flower Farm. This is a FULL-ON working apprenticeship that meets one day weekly, 10-4pm. We will cover a variety of topics foundational to community herbalism, as well as, basics for the beginning farmer, gardener and medicinal herb grower.
Each gathering is guided by the land and Spirit. There is no separation between working the soil and prayer. However, connection is personal and each apprentice will get as much out of the program as they put in. Showing up with your FULL-SELF and setting clear intentions are KEY.
We are creating a safe & sacred container to dive deep into our own individual healing through working the land and communing with plants. Now more than ever, we need to be passing forward the knowledge that is our birthright and our inheritance. We are each carrying sacred seeds of knowledge and it is our responsibility to awaken them within our hearts and plant them in our individual families and communities bringing with us the divine spark that will ignite germination and healing growth across our planet.
The cost for the 12 week program is $1200 which includes lecture, instruction, hands on herbal & farm experience, herbal medicine making, field trips, plant walks, guest teachers and materials fee. Payment is due by the first day of class. Additional wildcrafting field trips may be included. *Summer session is 10 weeks ($1000 tuition).
Maya Blow is the main teacher and facilitator along with several master guest herbalists and earth workers. Below are topics covered in each session. Weekly plant work tasks include HANDS ON planting, tending, harvesting, drying, processing, and medicine making depending on the season, weather and what the land is calling for.
