Mentorship with Heidi Bohan
and Friends

at the Hjertoos House in Carnation, WA
with visits around the valley and beyond   

Spring Season Begins!!

March 12-May 29

Fridays 10-2
Saturdays 11-3

2 of each per month (4/month)

New seasons will follow

Friday track will have a general focus on native plants, wild harvests, traditional knowledge and skills, carving, ethnobotany

Saturday track with a general focus on sustainable living skills, gardens, woodworking, food preservation

 Many skills such as basketry, medicinal plants, personal care, plant propagation, ecology and more will be interwoven.

Combined tracks for a comprehensive program.

Drop-ins okay by special arrangement and dependent on space

Mentorship group sizes will be kept small, so please register early. Each day will involve hands-on, skills building activities for a range of knowledge levels, and will ideally involve several ‘stations’ with activities. Geared for adults but children may participate by arrangement.

 The class fee has been kept low because many of our projects will qualify as a ‘work trade’ for the Hjertoos House. Each class will cover a variety of subjects, and will be adapted to the season and individual/group interests.

The goal of this program is to offer an opportunity for people to gain sustainable skills and knowledge which can be incorporated into daily life. As such, this will not be a formalized class with a set program, and will work best for those who are flexible and adaptable to change, and willing to participate in that process. We will be offering formalized classes at other times for those who are more comfortable with that learning style.

This program models one I implemented years ago called ‘Catkin Moon Medicine Society’ which was focused entirely on native plants and their uses, and proved to be highly effective at bringing these plants into peoples’ lives. As affirmation, several people from that program will be joining us in this expanded program.

Registration information: Registry form is in progress, please call or email below.

Fridays only (6 classes): $150- 200*;

 Saturdays (6 classes): $150- 200*; Combined Tracks: $300-400*

*Sliding scale, limited work trades available
