  1. I am interested in this online herbal class. Will it teach how to make herbal medicinal medicine? Will it teach me how to find these herbs in the wild? How much does the program cost? How long is the program? How much time does the program require? Is it online?

    • Jennifer: we do not offer an online herbal class. All of our classes are in person and listed on the class page. They are different lenghts and different costs. The next upcoming class is Herbal Allies which starts on April 4th.

  5. Hello. I’m interested in attending this school. I came to the location started on google maps but it doesn’t seem like that’s the right address. I’d like to know when I can register and possible prerequisites. Or just a day I can meet with one of you in person and ask some questions. 4158495311

Meet the Teacher! Francine Madrid’s class Matriz Sagrada starts Saturday, October 13th and we still have spots open. . “My path to this work began as a child in the kitchens, gardens and living rooms of my Grandmothers. I would sit and listen quietly as they exchanged old stories, remedios (herbal remedies), took care of grandbabies and doled out advice. When I had my own children, the wise words of my Grandmothers came back to me. I went on to formally study massage and bodywork, herbalism and birth; and what I found was that all of these practices are intricately and beautifully woven together within my own ancestral knowledge. With gratitude, I thank my teachers and elders for the opportunity to walk this ancient path.” . @oaktownbrujita is a partera/midwife and massage therapist and founder of Mariposa Massage and Birth Support. .

Happening this weekend and we still have spots open! . Join @luz.del.soljaguar and @erincaitlinsweeney for an introductory weekend of ancestral remembrance.

Our wise and loving ancestors are calling to us — asking to be seen, to be remembered, and they’re offering their support on our healing journeys. .
