  Green Witch School of Herbalism  
 
Dedicated to the understanding and use of herbs and natural energies as a way to heal the body, mind, and spirit while achieving optimal health and wellbeing. The journey into Gaia's green garden will last nine months, from March to November. It is a time to grow the seeds of interest and education that were planted before you entered your training. While it is an intensive course of study, we hope it will be just the beginning of a lifetime relationship with the plants and their gifts to us. Your teacher on the path will be Teri Kalgren, along with visiting divas and healers who will share their wisdom and expand your knowledge. We will watch the plants grow in the yard, street and shoreline. We may even take a wonderful herbal adventure along the way.

Comprised of one weekend a month for nine months, from 10AM until 4PM. Exact dates will be given in class. Please contact us at (978) 745-0065 for further information.
 
 

The cost of the nine-month internship is $950.00. If paid by the first class, an early registration discount of $100.00 will be applied. A $100.00 deposit will hold your seat in the class. Ask about our payment plan.
