Dreamweaving & Herbalism

10-Month In-Person Immersion into seasonal folk-herbalism and dreamweaving.

Restore your connection with the web of life, the plants, the dreams and all that dreams you. Awaken the wisdom within.

Join me on a 10-month in-person journey grounded by weekly classes and a weekend of ceremony. Walking together through the four seasons we awaken and ground the basics of a plant-dream-land-centered life rhythm into our bones while reclaiming the very best of ourselves, remembering how to walk, as our wild wise ancestors did, as a blessing in this world. You will attune yourself deeply to the whispers of Mother Earth, the threads of connection with her healing plants and the wellspring of dreams pouring forth within you.

To Those Wild, Wise Ones Who…

Long for a circle of sisterhood and belonging who also care deeply about the Earth… Want to nurture the widom keeper within, giving her space to breathe, grow and ground into the structure of your self and your life… Are a beginner who wants to launch a lifetime of knowing, loving and using plants in their lives and homes…. Or are already a practicing herbalist or wise woman, but sense there’s a deeper connection available to you…

Who want to learn the foundations of a home-folk herbal practice to support their family and their people with medicines from the Earth… and sense that dreams are a potent reservoir of wisdom, but haven’t yet turned in their direction.

I invite you to join me.

Love from Past Students

  • “Lauren, our time together provided me… A reminder that there are other interesting, smart, grounded women coming into their own…Reconnection to plants and ultimately to the earth. The knowing that I have answers and guidance within myself, readily accessible if I take the time to pay attention.”

    - Andrea D.


  • “Lauren teaches with authenticity, deep knowledge born of long experience, passion, and so much care. She is delightful to learn from. Honestly, I feel like this class opened a doorway to a fundamental birthright that I had never been taught… More and more, I am becoming part of the weave of earth, plant, and spirit magic and my dreams are a portal for guidance to flow to me.” -Kimberly G.


  • “Lauren is wise, funny, compassionate and a great teacher. She did such a wonderful job of setting the stage for a meditative and deeply spiritual class environmentshes incredibly good at tuning into the mood of the room and was able to support everyone as they needed. Her prayers–and her presence–are elegant, deeply meaningful, powerful and kind”

    - Jessica P.

  • “It’s difficult to put words on my experience of feeling accepted, seen, and heard by yourself, others, and Mama Gaia. Your way of leading the group by beginning with deeply meaningful invocations, slow introduction of the herbs, and holding the space for us to have our own clairsentient experiences has been absolutely perfect for me!”

    -Cindy S.

  • “Lauren’s energy and connection to the plants makeher classesa unique and truly transformative process. As a person who has been interested in herbal medicine for a while, studying with Lauren gave me the tools to go deeper and opened me up to information that I never knew I could access. The plants are much more then material objects and this class taught me how to create a deep relationship with them, I am so happy I found this class and would recommend it to anyone who loves herbs!”

    - Emily Z.

plant spirit healing and seasonal herbalism helps us in our dreamweaving

By the end of the year you will…

Have a home apothecary with medicines made by your own hands

Be able to identify, harvest and make medicine from dozens of local medicinal plants.

Be empowered to make meaning of your own dreams (and maybe the dreams of others!) and weave them into the world on behalf of your own soul, the Earth and all life.

Feel confident to create your own earth-honoring, life-honoring ceremonies in your own life and practice.

Feel in your heart, mind and bones a deeper connection to the land where you live, the seasons as they turn, all the plant and animal life around you.

Feel more connected to the wise women ancestors of your lineage, and feel them grounded and alive within YOU. Understand and feel that YOU are them alive here and now, carrying the medicine forth into future generations.

Know how to confidently treat yourself, your family and your people for basic home physical and spiritual care.

By studying herbalism for beginners we learn herbs for dreams and other plant spirit healing.

Please Note…

This is NOT a clinical herbal training program. For those who are looking for more clinically-focused training, I have several fabulous reccomendations. Feel free to reach out to me and inquire.

This program IS an immersion into the foundations of seasonal folk herbalism and a soulful dreaming practice, held within a larger web of Earth reconnection.

It provides a powerful launching pad for a lifetime of knowing and loving herbs (I got started with a similar apprenticeship-style immersion almost 20 years ago.)
