Herbs & Earth Awareness, 2010
Like seeds ripening in the rich soil of the earth & honey bees longing for the sweet nectar of blossoms, we’re awaiting the warmth of spring and looking forward to another season of growing, sharing, and learning on The Mountain.
Sage Mountain is one of New England’s foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 pristine acres in Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. Our facilities are simple and comfortable and provide a peaceful place for participants to learn.Though the knowledge and wisdom shared at these programs is outstanding and has helped fuel the ‘herbal renaissance’, the teachings are far more than just educational in nature. Rich in spirit, they nourish the heart as well as the mind. Through a supportive network with other herbalists and other herbal programs around the country, we have built a strong green community and have created an interface with other traditions of healing, while keeping an earth based herbal tradition alive and thriving in this country. It’s quite a miracle…. .

Are you seeking a deeper connection with our green allies? Do you yearn to speak the `forgotten language’ of plants? Please join us for this empowering and joyful event as we explore the Sacred Teachings of Plants through the rich spectrum of our senses. Using ceremony, ritual, drumming, song and celebration we’ll venture into the magical realm of plants exploring our ever evolving relationship to our green allies, our medicine allies, and the sacred nature of Plant Spirit Medicine. The weekend will include workshops on Sacred Plant Medicine, ‘medicine walks’, purification lodge, drumming, singing, ceremonies and other activities designed to bring us into direct communion with the plants and the rhythmic beauty of the natural world To ‘sample’ the course Lesson One may be purchased for $25. (Please note: Lesson One does not come with the binder). This payment is applied to the full tuition if you wish to continue with the Course. A brochure with further information is available upon request. For those who have completed Lesson One. Includes the Science & Art of Herbalism Home Study Course This is Rosemary’s most popular program. Rosemary’s been asked so often to teach her apprentice programs again, that she gladly decided to offer it once again this year but only in the two week format which makes it easier for long distant students to attend. An outstanding herbal educational experience, Rosemary’s Apprenticeship combines didactic study with practical hands on learning. Included as part of the Apprentice Program is The Science and Art of Herbalism, a comprehensive home study course. The apprentice program follows the format of this excellent correspondence course but augments it with the necessary hands-on experience and the wonderful support of like-minded people. Though the program meets for only two full weeks, there is a full year of learning provided in the course outline and through the home study program.

“The seed is in the ground…and now may we rest in hope
While darkness does its work”
~ Wendell Berry
Dear Friends,
We let out a deep sigh as another gardening season comes to an end; the autumn harvest is in, and the beds are put to rest for another season. Already on our wild and windy mountain we’ve had our first snow storm, always a reminder of how much we have still to do before winter settles in for sure. Each year at this time, we offer a Special Discount on The Science & Art of Herbalism, our popular home study course. Winter is a perfect time to study and there’s no better nor heartful study than the beautiful and healing world of plants. The Herbal Home Study Course also makes one of the most meaningful and lasting Christmas gifts you can give ~ either for yourself or a special loved one. The Course emphasizes self care, home health, and self reliance, all invaluable tools that are essential at this time on earth. More than any one system of healing, herbalism teaches us to take care of ourselves, our families and the earth and offers a low cost alternative to health care that is both sustainable and renewable. Join me on this amazing journey into the Green Nations…...
All of us at Sage Mountain wish you a very special and peaceful autumn/winter season, filled with inner light, radiance, and peace.
Green Blessings, Rosemary Gladstar
