“Since starting my Hawthorn berry tincture, my cholesterol is now normal. This is GOOD NEWS. My doctor is impressed that I am off of all my hormonal replacement drugs. The herbs you put
together for me helped me to do this without the side effects I experienced when I tried to do this on my own. I feel lighter and more confident than ever as I approach turning 60.”

“There are no words to describe what a gift this herbal practice has been to me. The herbs helped me to get drug free and moreover to change my attitude about drugs. Doctors only prescribe medications to block symptoms, but never get to the cause of the problems. Real healing is occurring.”

Apprenticeship Programs
2013 Apprenticeship Programs
The ancient practice of herbalism is re-birthing itself as a contemporary 
healing art, in our homes, hospitals and clinics. Herbal medicine, used wisely, is effective in response to many acute and chronic conditions. You will learn specific, practical skills and do much of your work outside with the plants themselves.
Herbal Medicine
I offer hands-on, intensive and in-depth teaching including:
- Plant identification – season by season; roots, leaves, stalks, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
- Ethical Wildcrafting – when, where, and how to gather and dry medicinal plants.
- Medicine-making – prepare your own tinctures, liniments, oils, infusions, decoctions, syrups, salves, and honeys.
- Medicinal uses – a wealth of information on the properties of plants, how to extract them, and their effects on each of the body’s systems.
- Case histories – actual stories of women, men, children and animals who have healed with the help of herbs.
- Tree medicine – all of the above applied to the bark, twigs, leaves, and flowers of local trees.
EarthSpirit Teachings
This aspect of the apprenticeship program invites you to immerse yourself in the creative magic of the earth. Re-connecting with nature is the healing balm your spirit seeks. You will explore worlds beyond words and enter dimensions of sacred consciousness; opening yourself to experience your kinship with all life.
This brings real joy.
Our work here includes:
- Earth-honoring ceremonies and celebrations – giving thanks, creating sacred space and engaging the elements.
- Moon Cycle Wisdom – lunar cycles help guide women and men, new and full moon meditations help turn dreams into reality.
- Body/Breath/Energy practices – yoga and chi kung help you to be present and cultivate your unique rhythms.
- Plant Spirit meditations – guided journeys deepen your relationships with plants.
- Trance-work – singing, chanting, tarot readings; developing intuitive gifts.
- Personal guidance – each apprentice receives individual teachings and suggested practices appropriate to his or her path.
In 2013 there will be 2 distinct Apprenticeship Programs, both held in the West Milford area of New Jersey.
- NJ Apprenticeship - Saturdays from Noon-6pm
- NJ Apprenticeship - Tuesdays from 10:30am-2:30pm
These progams provide a solid foundation for developing your knowledge and competence as an herbalist, whether you plan to become a practicing herbalist, or simply desire to be better able to care for yourself and your family.
The apprenticeship program is a three year program, but you may apprentice for one, two or three years depending on the level of training you are seeking.
A certificate is given upon completion of the three year program.

Book Reviews of Healing Magic: A Green Witch Guidebook to Conscious Living
By Robin Rose Bennett
"I finished reading Healing Magic yesterday. I smiled, I laughed, I cried. In short, I was moved and excited. It brought back so much of what I learned from you and with you in circle. It's given me a kick start to be more pro-active in starting a circle here. Thank you, thank you!" A. Yodice
"I had to write and tell you I am on page 25 of your most wonderful book, I'm devouring it (I am slow to devour). You are so talented and this piece of work is so needed, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I am honored to be in your midst." L. Gonzalez
"I know it is said you can't judge a book by its cover, but in the case of your book the very lovely cover sure is a good indication of the beautiful things inside. I haven’t finished yet but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Along with Arundhati Roy’s writings and a few others, you share and articulate my world view of peace and possibility." S. Falkner
"I have your book and it is truly wonderful, so generous, I love it." J. Salek
"I love your book.I can't put it down .I'll be buying a few for Summer solstice/Christmas presents. Thank you." A. Tully
"I bought Healing Magic and I loved it!!!" C. Reed
"I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your book. I received it last week and I read a bit of it everyday or so. (I want to extend the pleasure :) I think it's exactly the kind of book I was looking for without knowing it. I'm definitely a witch. I was doing by myself a lot of the exercises you suggest, but all the exercises new for me seem excellent. I tried some of them and loved it!
Your book is going to the essential. I particularly appreciate the heart-centered approach. It's clear, simple and fun! All your personal stories are wonderful. I feel it evident that you really lived that way of life very deeply before writing about it. I'm really impressed, and so is my boyfriend, a heart-centered herbalist." M. De BellefeuilleHealing Magic

Welcome
Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit Teachings
I am a writer, green witch, an herbalist, a wisewoman...
one who loves the earth and gives voice to the healing wild food and medicine plants which surround us and a teacher of WiseWoman Healing Ways of Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit teachings.
Common plants are our teachers. Weeds and wild flowers show us the joyful abundance and generosity of (our true) nature. They freely share their gifts of food, medicine, beauty, and wholeness.
It is my pleasure to help women and men remember our ancient and global heritage of Wisewoman Healing Ways; ways of compassionate intuition, nurturing ourselves and our unique rhythms, magical rituals celebrating the cycles of life, death and rebirth, and honoring the sacred web of life.
