Green Witches
Ages 8–12
Spring Session: March – June
Fall Session: September-December
This alchemical journey allows girls to connect with nature, explore herbalism, build confidence, and cultivate lasting friendships!
Course Description:
Welcome to the School of Green Witchcraft! This four-month journey will be as fun as it is enriching. Our intention is to create a magical cauldron for the girls to build deep friendships within. Through sensory awareness and group challenges we will build trust in the group. Nature connection and primitive skills exercises will empower girls to enhance their confidence. Our fire side evenings will consist of songs, stories, skits, poetry, and tons of giggles!
We will be exploring the beautiful connection between humans and plants through the lens of Herbalism. Girls will create their own nature-based apothecaries, using local herbs. Our intention is to inspire girls on a lifelong journey of utilizing nature for healing. Local herbalist, Laura Parker, will be co-leading this class along with Margaret. Laura studied the “Wise Woman Tradition” with esteemed Herbalist, Susun Weed. We are grateful for the extensive knowledge that she will imbue into this class!
