WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I couldn’t give a higher recommendation for a course. Life-changing self-healing and transformation will occur as Marysia lovingly guides you to reweave your connection to the rich nourishment of Earth.

The value of the content FAR exceeds the cost: one workshop would cost more than the monthly payment and each month is full of videos, recipes, live gatherings, guest experts and outstanding reading. So much support is provided.

As a graduate of Marysia’s in-person apprenticeship in 2019, I found the content new & exciting, and we never stop learning from the plants in meditation. I may even do it again! Like an earth-based plant spirit gym membership it keeps me on track with the healthy practices I most need in my life. I’m so grateful.”

“Marysia has a piercingly strong connection to the plant realm and an incredible ability to hold space for others to journey with her.  Under her guidance we learned invaluable life tools and wisdoms that are ready to be reclaimed. “

— Saewon Oh

“I feel like my soul and physical body have been touched with such nurturing and nourishment, that my very essence has been affected. “

— Dana Baer

“After my 10-month journey in this course, I did build a home apothecary. I now have tinctures, tonics, glycerins, and teas filling my shelves. But ALSO- my shoulders feel lighter, my nervous system is calmer, my energy has improved, my days are spent with more mindfulness and rest. My eyes are brighter and my fingernails are dirtier. “

— Mimi Karsh Narducci

“This course changed my life! I always knew innately the sacredness of the Earth we walk on, this course concretely re-placed me so tenderly on her surface with that reminder. My kitchen witchery bloomed, my creative eye for color was refined. I feel as though I have been reborn a small Earthly elf with the duty of maintaining and educating. I am so thankful.”

— Alexandra Freisel
