Greetings.

I have been studying bioregional herbalism and am looking for more experienced people to apprentice with.

I seek a live in Apprenticeship as the Herbalists in my current area are not seeking or already have helpers.

I have many skills.

I am looking for outlets to advertise that I want to be a live-in apprentice. outlets such as HErbalism forums or Apothecary Publications.

If you know of any outlets or Herbalists to contact please let me know.

Appreciating your support!

I am currently touring to see potential healers/homesteads/apothecarys/free clinics, so please let me know if we are a fit for each other! I will love to schedule a visit with you whenever.

I have lots of unique skills in perennial/wild/self pollinating seed saving/distribution/collection/restoration, bio-regional herbalism, natural land restoration, ethical wild crafting and foraging, dance, song, preservation methods (plants and animals), creating a range of dietary specific meals, community structure organizing, accountability, business/personal assisting, fundraising, regional event coordinating, pregnancy/postpartum support, out/indoor clutter removal/organization, organic produce/culinary herbs, animal breeding/butchering/processing, child/senior assisting/companionship, un/homeschooling wild wisdom, and can support the community in various ways!

SEEKING:
I am looking for a nurturing environment; one that focuses on personal and group well being, growth, sustainable and equal living. That values work, the arts, healing and rest. Has some emphasis on getting medicine and knowledge/skills to low-income folks and/or folks with limited access to resources. I seek to have an open, educational, motivative, inspirational live in or close by opportunity this winter and/or beyond.

EXPANDING:
I am currently expanding my knowledge of all animals healing practices, midwifery/doula, plant healing, natural land restoration, ancestry, winter foraging, spindle fiber crafts, perennial and wild seed saving, geology identifications, languages/tongues, spirit guides, natural navigation, patience, healthy communication, communal living, and more.

THE JOURNEY:
I create and distribute seasonal Herbal Crafts and Medicine. I am the co-founder of several Seed Lending Libraries across the country.

I have experience working with wild foods educator Katrina Blair and Turtle Lake Refuge Raw Food Cafe. I currently write for Seed BroadCast Journal and Utah Tar Sands Resistance. I offer transparency and accountability processes for grassroots organizational groups.

It's been ten years since this post and I'm seeking the same!! I'm looking for a community to join for continued learning and growing with herbal plant allies. I became a Certified Herbalist in 2020 and continue to look for more ways to work with the earth and share this knowledge and love of plants and all things nature with like minded others. I lead with my heart and looking for others who do the same. We belong in community living as simply as possible with nature and her seasons and I feel it's time to find my tribe.
Interested in continued learning, Apprenticeship, live on land hands on opportunities to grow in community.
Love to connect and grow with you!

Greetings,
I am from China and focus on ecological cultivation of traditional Chinese medicinal plants, as well as field investigations and documentation of wild herbal resources. My work often involves observing native plant populations, habitat conditions, seed propagation, and sustainable cultivation practices.
I was inspired by your experience in seed saving, restoration, and traditional ecological knowledge. Although we come from different regions, I believe we share a similar interest in protecting plant diversity and learning from nature.
I am new to this platform and would be happy to exchange ideas, experiences, and observations with you. I look forward to learning more about your work and sharing perspectives from China.
Wishing you a meaningful journey and hoping we can stay connected.

Finding a live-in mentor is tough. Have you tried reaching out to local farm collectives? They often have connections that aren't advertised online.
