Immersion Programs
I offer several longer programs throughout the year including a 9-month apprentice-style program, a winter intensive, and weekend immersions. Below are the weekend immersion programs for 2026 that still have space available:
Deer Isle Herbal Immersion
July 24-26, 2026
$150-$650 including camping and meals
Deer Isle, ME (location will be sent to registrants)
Register here!
Immerse yourself in the plants of Deer Isle!
In this weekend-long immersion, we will make our home on the shores of the magnificent Firefly Cove, a tidal cove that is swimmable in high tide and mud flats in low tide. There will be space for kayaking, potentially some sailing, swimming, sauna-ing, and more.
We will spend the weekend hiking the different ecosystems of Deer Isle, learning about the plants we find. Baskets in hand, we will respectfully harvest abundant medicine and bring it back to the Cove where we will make teas, tinctures, salves, creams, and more. As we make medicine, we will learn about the chemistry, lineage, stories, and pharmacology of the plants with which we are building relationships. We will add them to our meals, along with clams we harvest from the sea.
Join us to build beautiful, rich relationship with the ocean and the plants she tends.
