Catskill Herbal Apprenticeship
This weekend (October 19th through 21st) we will have this season's last Catskill Herbal Apprenticeship. We gather Friday night for settling in, a pot luck, and some evening (campfire, weather-permitting... or perhaps woodstove inside). The remaining weekend will be plant walks, medicine-making, and classes on Chinese medicine and Native American medicine, with meals are included with tuition.
