Mentorship

Now Accepting New Mentees!

One-on-one guidance for conscious growth, earth connection & embodiment.

For those seeking to do deeper work to truly develop a profound and enduring relationship with their body, herbcraft, and the more-than-human world…

Mentorship is a little bit different from my primary herbal consultation offering. Where herbal consultations focus more on the concrete physiological concerns you'd like to address, mentorship allows for a more exploratory and reflective approach to self-development and conscious growth.

Mentorship typically consists of at least six months working together to support you in developing rituals, habits, and structures that will nurture a deeply embodied sense of self and a wider connection to the earthly realms you inhabit.

Those interested should be ready and willing to make fundamental changes in their life, while embracing plants and mushrooms as allies in the journey of becoming fully human and alive.

  • We will explore the ways that you experience your world, being in your body, and the interconnections between your body and your environment. We will also explore how your conception of wellness has developed, and how that conception informs your experience of the world.

  • This work is rooted in principles of depth ecology, ecopsychology, somatics, intuitive practices, and heart perception. These frameworks will support you in cultivating practices to liberate your awareness from the limited ideological frameworks our western culture encourages, towards a more holistic and embodied perspective of self and earth.

  • We often engage in a dynamic range of practices and rituals to support you in expanding your perceptual, sensory, and extrasensory awareness to encompass the subtle messages and cues that arise from your body and earth that guide you toward openness, presence, and vital well-being.

    • Stillness / Meditation

    • Mindful and intentional eating and cooking

    • Joyful movement practices

    • Active imagination and dialogue with one's body

    • Dreamwork

    • Earth connection practices & relationship with your local earthly environment

    • Breathing exercises & breathwork

    • Custom herbal formulas will also be recommended and adjusted over the course of longer term work.

      • These formulas are offered to support the practices and shifts in awareness and consciousness this work aims to facilitate.

      • Cost of herbs are not included in the session cost and are not required as part of mentorship.

    • Those who engage in this ongoing work will also be granted 12-month access to the Greenspell Community & Virtual Garden. Your access will continue as long as we are working together.

    • You will also receive a 20% discount on all workshops and classes that Greenspell offers (not including the Greenspell Bioregional Herbalism Intensive).

    • Pricing is based on need and will be discussed in the final introductory session before transitioning to longer-term mentorship.

All clients start with three initial sessions. During the third and final session of the package, we discuss if you would like to continue working together for longer term work. If you’ve committed a resounding yes to mentorship, we will move forward and discuss a meeting cadence, structure, and sliding-scale price point that works for both of us.

A typical structure and cost for longer-term mentorship:

  • We meet either once every two weeks (bi-weekly), or once a month.

  • I ask for a minimum commitment of 6 sessions, but some may prefer to engage in mentorship for longer.

  • Individual session cost is sliding scale between $50-$90 / hour-long session.

  • Those engaged in long-term mentorship are welcome to participate in Volunteer Days at the apothecary, gaining more hands on work in preparing tinctures, blending teas, and getting a better feel for how apothecary work unfolds.

    • Volunteer Days are open only to mentees and Greenspell Herbalism Intensive students

Upon booking, you will be asked if you are more interested in clinical herbalism or mentorship support, and then to briefly share why you are called to this work.

At the end of our first session, we will book your first follow-up session.
