Seeking an Apprentice to work with me moonly trading labour for learning. I am looking for an individual who wants to get dirty, laugh/cry, have existential and political conversations, burst into occasional spontaneous dances, and be up close and personal with herbalism and the land.

During this work exchange we will create wine based tinctures, animal fat salves, herbal smoke blends, wildcrafts, stationary, other herbals, and gift baskets. Harvesting from yard and around the neighbourhood. Creative writing, editing and proofreading promotional literature.

Commitment: Work accompanies the moon at a shared home in the northwest part of town; which is on the bus line. Please consider the distance from your home, the price of gas, bus fare and/or a bike ride in the rain before agreeing to this commitment. You will need to sign a comprehensive non-compete and confidentiality agreement.
We work on new, waxing half, full, and waning half moons from 10:00-15:00(3:00p.m.); which includes tea, take home herbals, and a dietary specific meal. Term ends around Winter Solstice and includes a seasonal community potlucks!

I participate in social justice movements by:
Working for a youth non profit organization in social justice work.
I show up to community events on social justice and People Of Color circles.
My partner and I have councils on being queer and on race as an interracial couple.
I also am starting my own VLOG about women of color in nature.
I am also working on a one woman show where I play a historical black woman and tell her story that has not been told and perform it it within my community center.
And some days holding my partners hand can feel like a movement in itself.
