"CREATING A NON-ALCOHOLIC HERBAL APOTHECARY"

 

August 11 through September 20, 2025 — Monday and Wednesday evenings 6-7pm PST

 

Do you want to experience a connection to plant medicine craft in a radical embodied and creative way that embraces your locale, your ancestral ways and your intuitive center?

 

Have you always wanted to learn herbal medicine making in a completely non-alcoholic context with an experienced teacher?

 

Are you sober and studying herbalism and want to maintain your sobriety by avoiding alcohol as you learn?

 

Do you just dig the stuff I do and want to hang out and make medicine with me?

 

THIS COURSE IS PROBABLY FOR YOU, THEN!

 

Beginning Monday August 11 at 6pm PST I will commence a 6-week live online course!

 

Weekly scheduled meetings are one hour each.

 

Mondays are instruction night. (demo, info) 6-7pm PST

 

Wednesday is collective learning night (community knowledge building) 6-7pm PST

 

Friday through Sunday evening we schedule a flexible 1:1 meeting together for personal support (just me and you!) ANYTIME EXCEPT 2AM LOL

WEEK ONE:

The first week each individual chooses 6 herbs they want to explore through medicine making. (You need to be able to obtain said herbs in fresh or dried forms and in certain quantities —I will offer suggestions if need be and provide detailed guidance)

 

We then go through the process of how to choose which non-alcoholic preparation provides the strongest  AND MOST TASTY solution for creating that specific plant medicine. Glycerite? Oxymel? Acetum? Electuary?

 

WEEK TWO through SIX:

Each week we address a new preparation with instructional demo and through a collective learning experience.

 

By the end of the 6 weeks you have created an apothecary and you know how to make more based on everything we cover. At the end of the 6 weeks you have built connections with others and rewilded your approach to herbalism through these experiences.

 

***if you cannot attend a class then the recording will be available for the duration of the course. All class handouts will be available for download.

 

When the course is over, you have the option of more in-person learning and community as I create an in-person herbalism retreat and possibly invite you to apprentice directly with me in my home for a five day immersion. These in-person experiences will be at an addition cost!

 

The 6 week course is $500 —18 hours of live instruction per student with a structured experience including community and 1:1 private support each week. Refunds will be honored at a $50 cost to you.

 

If you have questions and want to chat about all this then please email me!

 

If you want to commence the learning then join the course now! Sign ups are now until we fill a dozen spots up!

 

This is how to claim your spot (only 12 spots offered so we have an intimate and manageable container and can actually get to know each other!)

 

To register for the Apothecary course:

 

You pay for the full class via Venmo at Andrea-Moore-181 (there’s a cute profile pic of me with my glasses on) and list “Apothecary course” and your email address in the notes. *For scholarship and sliding scale requests please email me.

 

Next—You get the confirmation email from me including the class materials lists and instructions for the first week’s meeting. There is a small supply list. If you have the items—great—if not then you’ll want to get them ASAP.

 

Right before the class (like a few days before) I’ll send out the class zoom link and class prep questions.

 

Each class is only one hour long so we will be very focused and less interactive on instruction night and then be able to get into more collaborative vibes on community learning night.

 

Anything not addressed in those two hours of meetings will be sussed out with me when we meet individually for the 1:1 hour each week.

​

Each of these individual blocks of time aims to support multiple learning styles and objectives:

 

1. By giving you specific instructions and information (left brain data inputs)

2. By giving you an exciting and enthusiastic community learning experience (right brain human interactions)

3. By giving you individual guidance and support privately (individual intuitive/ stylistic connection)
