Wise Woman Herbal Apprenticeship Programs "I loved every step of the (apprenticeship) process. It was so amazing to understand, hands on, how the earth takes care of us if we take care of and pay attention to her. I also think of how I grew during those few months. I definitely learned how to communicate more honestly and how important it is to recognize and voice my own needs and wants." Fall 2004 apprentice
