Wise Heart Apprenticeship Program
Step into the rhythms of the Earth and deepen your relationship with the plant world through the WiseHeart Apprenticeship Program—a nine-month journey of transformation, community, and connection.
Held in the twin river towns of New Hope, PA, and Lambertville, NJ, this open-enrollment program offers nine immersive Saturday classes held on the fourth Saturday of each month from 12-3pm March- November. These classes weave together the wisdom of solar celebrations, Earth festivals, foraging, herbalism, plant communication, and intuitive practices while creating a beautiful community of local herbalists, gardeners, foragers and seekers of green wisdom.
More than just an herbalism course, this is a transformative experience designed to guide you from feeling lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected in your learning journey to becoming a fully embodied intuitive herbalist—one who works in deep alignment with plant allies and natural cycles. Along the way, you’ll find more than knowledge; you’ll find your people—a vibrant local herbalist community where learning is infused with joy, laughter, and shared wisdom. Whether you’re just beginning or seeking to deepen your practice, Wise Heart offers the support, structure, and guidance to help you flourish.
