Agape Apothecary Learning Opportunities
Education is important to me, and passing on the knowledge and traditions that have been shared with me is one of my missions.
Whether it’s a two-hour class exploring herbal remedies for perimenopause, a seven-week online course discovering how herbs work in the body, or a six-month, hands-on hybrid opportunity to learn the foundations of herbalism, I love sharing what I’ve learned and helping others discover their own relationship with plants.
There is something meaningful about the tradition of teaching—learning from those who came before us, putting that knowledge into practice, and then passing it along to the next person.
INDIVIDUAL CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS:
Step into a space where people gather, connect, and grow—surrounded by the magic of plants and the warmth of community.
Both educational classes and hands-on workshops are designed for those who are curious, nurturing, and open to learning—whether you’re new to herbalism or already walking the plant path. We come together in a safe and accepting space, where every voice is honored and everyone is welcomed just as they are.
In the cozy embrace of the apothecary, you’ll sip hand-blended teas, engage in meaningful conversations, learn about traditional herbal remedies, and leave not only with new knowledge but with a deeper connection to yourself, to nature, and to a circle of like-minded folks. Let’s learn, create, and uplift one another—together.

SERIES COURSES:
If you are interested in a deeper learning experience, I offer a variety of options to fit your needs and help you achieve your goals.
ROOTED IN THE GODDESS MONTHLY WOMEN’S GATHERINGS
Rooted in the Goddess is a monthly women’s gathering exploring the sacred feminine through seasonal themes, herbal wisdom, reflection, ritual, and community.
Each month, we journey through a different expression of feminine wisdom—guided by the rhythms of the Wheel of the Year and supported by a featured herb that reflects the season’s energy.
These gatherings offer space to slow down, connect, and explore the deeper relationship between nature, the plants, and our inner lives. Through conversation, reflection, ritual, and tea, we create space to listen to our own wisdom and to one another.
There is no experience or special knowledge required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
A place to slow down. To connect. To share. To listen inward. And to remember that we don’t have to walk this path alone.

THE BODY’S HERBAL MAP: CONNECTING HERBAL KNOWLEDGE WITH BODY SYSTEMS
The human body is an intricate, interconnected whole—and herbs interact with that whole in fascinating ways.
The Body’s Herbal Map is a seven-week online exploration of the body’s major systems through the combined lenses of nursing and herbalism.
Drawing on my experience as a registered nurse, anatomy and physiology instructor, and herbalist, we’ll explore how the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, immune, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems function, how they connect with one another, and how herbs interact with and support these systems.
We’ll go beyond simply learning which herbs are associated with which body systems. We’ll explore how herbs work in the body—their actions, what body processes they may influence, and why particular herbs may be relevant to a particular system.
Along the way, I’ll share herbal remedies, recipes, and practical applications, helping you connect what you know about herbs with a deeper understanding of the human body.
This isn’t about memorizing anatomy and physiology or lists of herbs. It’s about creating a mental map of the body so you can begin to see the connections between body systems, herbal actions, and whole-person support.
You don’t need an extensive science, herbal, or healthcare background—just curiosity and a desire to understand the human body and herbalism in a deeper way.

ESSENTIAL HERBALISM FOUNDATIONS & HERBAL MEDICINE MAKING CIRCLES
Are you someone who feels called to learn about plants and plant medicine so you can become more self-sufficient in caring for your own health? I’m now enrolling for the next cohort of the Essential Herbalism Foundations & Herbal Medicine Making Circles program beginning February 21, 2027. This would be a beautiful gift to give yourself as you step into the year rooted, empowered, and connected.
This six-month hybrid course is led by my herbalism instructor and mentor, Shelley Torgove. It weaves Shelley’s online, self-paced lessons—where you’ll meet 20+ medicinal plants—with monthly, in-person gatherings in my Apothecary, where we create herbal remedies together. You’ll also have access to monthly group Zoom sessions for Q&A, with everyone sharing updates on their learning journey.
The cost for this six-month herbal journey is $1,000, shared equally between Shelley and me. You’ll begin by submitting your portion to me, and once received, I’ll send you the link to complete Shelley’s portion. For our in-person gatherings, there is a $25 supply fee, payable to me at each gathering, which covers all of the herbs, materials, and supplies we’ll use as we create remedies together.
If you have any questions or would like to talk more about whether this program is a good fit for you, please feel free to reach out—I’m happy to connect.
In-person Herbal Medicine Making Circles are held monthly on Sundays from 1-5 pm. Dates for the next group:
