Earth Medicine Apprenticeship has a new form and location. Rather than meeting one weekend a month, the apprenticeship will meet for three-five day intensives over the course of three months from June to August. This will be an immersion in Earth Medicine, Deep Ecology, becoming a Human Being and Sacred Plant Medicine.The apprenticeship will take place at Agave Ridge Retreat located two miles north of Pinos Altos, New Mexico and 10 miles north of Silver City, New Mexico. This is beautiful, private land bordering the Gila National Forest on two sides. Beautiful stone outcroppings, a seasonal stream and hiking trails afford plant and animal diversity and ample opportunity to stretch your legs after a day of learning. Learning to hold context for yourself with a commitment to deep, potentially life altering changes is in large part, a focus of the work. A commitment to showing up for the classes, for you, for the group, and doing the homework assignments is crucial. Therefore, missing an intensive or any part of an intensive is not an option except in very narrowly defined emergencies. The degree of success you have with the work is directly proportional to the degree you do the work. The nature of the work is deeply intimate, going below superficiality. It may remind you of who you’ve always wanted to be. It will not affirm the limitations you currently have but it will affirm the life you could have if you go beyond those limitations.
