The Transcendent Path: Full Immersion

A deeply immersive herbal education year rooted in ancestral plant wisdom, seasonal cycles, and embodied herbal practice.

Full Immersion is for those who wish to dedicate themselves more deeply to the study of herbal medicine and the traditions that connect us to the plants, the land, and one another.

Throughout the seasons, we gather on the land to observe, learn, harvest, make medicine, and cultivate relationship with the natural world. Our studies weave together practical herbal skills, traditional wisdom, clinical applications, seasonal practices, and earth-based spirituality.

These are not simply classes in the practical skills of herbalism. These offerings are an invitation to embark on a personal journey through the seasons, learning to weave plant medicine and magic into everyday life.

Rooted in earth-based spirituality, we navigate the seasons, discovering how their shifts unveil patterns, practices, and intentions behind each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Each gathering unfolds organically, guided by what is growing, blooming, ready to be harvested, and asking to be worked with at that time. We allow the season itself to shape our experiences.

Unlike individual Seasonal Immersion Days, Full Immersion offers a continuous educational experience, with additional instruction, deeper exploration, and opportunities to build upon your learning throughout the year.

What Is Included

Eight Seasonal Immersion Gatherings

Participate in the complete seasonal cycle, from May through December. Each gathering has a focus on seasonal medicines, associated body systems, and Earth Spirit holidays. We explore plant identification, gardening, ethical wildcrafting, medicine making, plant synergy, energetics, and the practical and spiritual dimensions of herbalism.

In addition to these seasonal days, students participating in the full program will have a few extended weekends of learning throughout the year, to allow more time for us to gather independently and explore topics more deeply.

Monthly Virtual Educational Classes

Continue your studies between in-person gatherings with additional monthly instruction, discussion, and opportunities to explore topics more deeply, ask questions, and integrate what we've learned together.

Deeper Exploration of Reading the Body

Full Immersion students will explore Reading the Body diagnostics as part of their studies, developing their skills of observation and understanding of the body's physical signs and patterns. This work will be woven into the broader study of herbal medicine and constitutional understanding.

More Personalized Guidance

Receive additional guidance and support throughout your educational journey, with opportunities to ask questions, explore your interests, and deepen your understanding beyond our in-person gatherings.

Certificate of Completion

Students who fulfill the program's attendance and participation requirements will receive a certificate of completion.

A Pathway Toward Clinical Study

For those who wish to continue their herbal education toward clinical practice, Full Immersion also serves as one of three required years of in-depth herbal study before entering our advanced clinical program.

This is an opportunity to establish a foundation in herbal knowledge, medicine making, plant relationships, and Reading the Body before progressing into more advanced clinical education.

Completion of this program fulfills one year of the three-year educational prerequisite. Additional study and preparation are required before entering the clinical program.

Who Is This For?

Full Immersion is for those who feel genuinely called to dedicate themselves to a deeper educational journey into herbal medicine, the plants, and the traditions that have carried this knowledge through generations. Whether you are beginning your studies or have previous experience, this program offers an opportunity to develop your knowledge, skills, and relationships with the plants over time.

We value curiosity over certainty, relationship over recognition, and meaningful practice over quick expertise. We are not here to fast-track anyone into becoming an herbal authority, build an influencer platform, or turn traditional knowledge into another commodity.

This work asks something of us beyond the acquisition of knowledge. Herbalism is a practice rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and responsibility to the plants, the land, our communities, and the lineage and traditions from which we learn. It asks for time, humility, a willingness to participate, and a commitment to remain a student throughout our lives.

If you are here to cultivate a meaningful relationship with the plants, deepen your understanding, and carry this work forward with integrity and respect, there is a place for you here.

You will get out of this what you put into it. Welcome to the journey of remembrance.

Full Immersion is a year-long educational commitment, and consistent participation is an important part of the learning process.

To receive a Certificate of Completion and have the program recognized as one of the three required years of in-depth herbal study toward our advanced clinical program, students must:

• Attend a minimum of seven of the eight in-person Seasonal Immersion Days.

• Participate in at least six of the eight monthly virtual educational classes.

• Demonstrate meaningful participation and engagement throughout the program.

Attendance and participation in the full program are strongly encouraged. Additional requirements and preparation will apply before progressing into the advanced clinical program.

Age Requirements

Tuition

We offer a three-tier tuition structure rooted in accessibility, reciprocity, and shared responsibility.

All students receive the same educational experience, regardless of the tuition level they select. We invite you to choose the rate that most honestly reflects your financial circumstances and capacity to contribute.

Space is incredibly limited, and registrants will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.

Tuition includes all that is listed above, including teachings, infusions, supplies for medicine making, harvesting plants we grow here on our land, and all preparations made throughout the year together. Payment in full or installment options available.

Community-Supported Tuition – $1,444

A reduced rate for those who would benefit from additional financial accessibility in order to participate.

Standard Tuition – $1,888

Our standard program rate, reflecting the education, instruction, materials, and additional support included throughout the year.

Pay-It-Forward Tuition – $2,222

For those with greater financial resources who are able to contribute beyond the standard rate. Choosing this level helps support greater accessibility within our educational community.

We trust each person to choose their tuition level with thoughtfulness and integrity. No one should feel they need to justify their choice.
