Hawthorn & Honey School of Herbal Medicine
Deeply rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Hawthorn & Honey offers seasonal apprenticeships and monthly workshops in Tacoma, WA. Come on a journey through our local forests, beaches, and mountains as we learn the art of herbalism in nature – as it’s intended – awakening our senses and connecting with the plants.
In this year-long apprenticeship, we’ll break the foundations of herbalism down piece by piece, through guided seasonal explorations where you’ll meet the plants in person, in-depth study on how the body works, and hands-on practice where you’ll synthesize everything you’ve learned in the kitchen.
Our students learn the history and medicinal uses of each plant and how to create a daily plant practice using meal preparation, meditation, journaling, and dream work. Each day our apprentices create new remedies, adding to their home apothecary, while also building a personal relationship with the plants through intuitive plant communication and personal ancestry research.
Through the many years that I’ve taught this seasonal apprenticeship, I’ve found that it’s not just about learning the art of herbalism. It’s the connection with nature, the relationship with the plants. They’re here to help you – whether it’s to heal your heart, rediscover yourself, or find your true path. The plants offer a grounding force apart from what people can offer us. This is what it’s really about…taking the time to build relationships with plants that will change your life.

At Wildwood Institute, we have been Bringing the Plants to the People and the People to the Earth™ since 1996! We teach from the Four Directions of Information: Herbal Traditions, Science, Personal Experience, and Intuition; with Nature at the center.
Located just outside of Madison, WI, we offer one, two and three year Herbalist Apprenticeships. Classes are held one weekend per month in person, or online in inclement weather. Many students take just the first year, learning how to identify, make and use herbal medicines for themselves and loved ones. Others continue on for a deeper education, and exceptional students complete the entire program. More than half of our students each year travel two hours or more for the program, from Illinois, Iowa, Upper Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana.
For those of you interested in practicing as a Clinical Herbalist, we offer the only comprehensive, collegiate level in-person Clinical Herbalist program in the Upper Midwest, with options for clinical supervision online. An accelerated program is available for those who qualify.
Kathleen Raven Wildwood is a Clinical Herbalist, as well as the Founder & Director of Wildwood Institute, and has been teaching and practicing in western, scientific, and shamanic herbal traditions for over 25 years.
Come study with us in our beautiful rural Wisconsin woodland, garden, and prairie! Visit our website for more information.
