New 2013 Apprenticeships
Off on another harvesting weed walk
Co-create your herbal apprenticeship with PrairieWise at 80 Acres
PrairieWise Herbal School focuses on integrated herbalism and offers apprenticeships that provide hands-on herbal and plant spirit medicine, including plant chromatics. The school offers practical everyday uses for plant remedies. Most classes are held outdoors, although an indoor classroom is available when needed.
To truly know a plant, we must be in relationship with the plant and the planet that brought this life into existence. The plant will tell us how to use it for food, medicine and reconnection. Within the school we explore the essence of the plant from integrated viewpoints including shamanic studies, scientific research, folkloric uses, eclectic medicine, modern western herbalism and plant chromatics.
Weed walk in the Meadow
The school is located at 80 Acres in Leavenworth, Kansas. There are hiking trails, spring-fed ponds, a large clubhouse complete with commercial kitchen, lakeside deck, outdoor concert stage and plenty of wild space to explore and experience. The school has its own garden plot where students learn gardening techniques and assist in growing food and herbs for medicine making. Students are allowed to wildcraft responsibly during classes and other prearranged times.
PrairieWise School is dedicated to the ongoing journey of the earth, plants and all beings with an emphasis on plant medicines and plant energetic patterns. We are committed to growing knowledgeable herbalists that contribute to a culture of healing with their families and in their communities.
