Generally we’ll be gathering together from 10 to 3ish, though there will be some celebrations like Midsummer and Samhain that we’ll gather from 4pm-8pm. You’ll always be notified well in advance if I think the day will last quite a bit longer.

The commitment to this program is 13 in person gathers spread out over the course of a year. In addition to the in person gatherings, you can expect to invest an extra hour or two a week into yourself and your craft. This is a two year commitment, no exceptions. The group is intentionally kept very small in honor of holding both an individual and collective approach. Our work together is deep and immersive, with the curriculum tailored specifically for the apprentices in each group and the collective energy of the group.

Folk & Fire is a very small business and we rely on tuition payments in order to teach our program. We can't buy materials or pay our bills without it! We cannot issue refunds for tuition payments unless you suffer a serious personal or family emergency that renders you incapable of attending.

There will be a small list of tools emailed out after your acceptance to the program, such as a blank dedicated journal, a few candles, and a few dried herbs. Many of the materials will be provided, such as PDF printable workbooks, guides and some medicine making supplies. We will likely not be gathering medicine in large batches, so any supplies you need beyond what is provided (which will be emailed a month prior to each class), will need to be purchased by you. As this course is open to 18+, I cannot offer alcohol for tincturing as a part of the course.

Things like optional reading materials will not be included.

This course is crafted with the intention of being mindful of the finances of those attending.

At this time, the scholarship position is filled.

Nope!

This apprenticeship pulls from bioregional folk herbalism, Druidry, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Indigenous & Norse spiritual paths.

For the most part, we’ll be sticking to areas within Kitsap County though we will likely have one day out on Rainer or in Naches Valley. Students will be emailed out in advance where the next meet up will be. Part of determining where we will be, is me keeping an eye on what plants are most readily available depending on how everything’s progressing seasonally.

Absolutely! Please email me at sia@folkandfireshop.com

There will be 3-4 apprentices and myself, Sia, as the main guide. We may also have guest mentors along the way to teach some of the earth based skills.

Our time will be spent experiencing Sabbats ceremoniously as a group, or out foraging. For the foraging dates, I don’t have specific plants we’ll be looking for, as so much of that depends on the weather in the weeks leading up to our adventure!

You’ll receive emails the week prior of our plan, where we’ll be going, what we’ll be looking for and anything else you need to know.

This program is for those who are called to deepen their relationship with Earth, Sky and Sea through magic and community. It’s for those who want to hear the voices of the plants and desire to understand their wisdom while crafting a life that honors the seasonal cycles.
