7 MONTH FIELD PROGRAM
MARCH, 2026 to September, 2026
Taking place in the field in Southern Arizona and Southern New Mexico.
March, April, May, June will be 5 day classes each month. 5 days per month.
July will be a 10 day field intensive based out of Silver City, New Mexico.
August and September will again be 5 days of classes each month.
5 day sessions are usually Thursday to Monday .. ending by Monday Noon!
MARCH/2026 - 5 days - Somewhere in Southern Arizona - Destination to be determined by Nov/Dec 2025. Why the wait? Because I have to see how the season will be shaping up as far as weather and rainfall.
This will either be a camping trip to a base camp or will be an Air/B &B thing which we will chip in extra money to secure for our base.
IF you are not a camper, there will most likely be a place nearby once we know the actual destination, where you could get your own lodging and you could just join the campers in the morning.
APRIL/2026 - 5 days - Somewhere in Southern Arizona
Camping or Air B & B lodging for the group. Additional cost again.
MAY/2026 - 5 days - Based out of Silver City, New Mexico
Camping or individual lodging.
JUNE/2026 - 5 days -
Based out of Silver City, New Mexico
Camping or individual lodging. Maybe group lodging.
JULY/2026 - 10 day Plant Medicine Intensive -
This one is best if you secure your own lodging in Silver City, maybe the students by this time know who is who and you all will be able to secure a larger house to share. The Gila National Forest does have plenty of great camping though...
AUGUST/2026 - 5 days Camping in the White Mountains in Arizona, just over the border from New Mexico.
SEPTEMBER/2026 - 5 days Camping or lodging at The Gila Hot Springs Area ..deep in the Gila National Forest, outside Silver City, New Mexico.
NOTE- Each one of these trips is literally a separate event. Even if you could not make all of them .. that would be ok.
NOTE - Dates will be set shortly, by Mid October
NOTE - Life Pass Holders can attend and I am setting aside 3 spots for people from a previous time when I offered the Life Pass . You know who you are! Your cost will have to be $500.00
In reality, the cost for your tuition, travel and any lodging will be offset by the incredible apothecary that you will be able to create. Not to mention the information that could change everything in your life in such a positive direction!
LIMITED SPACES .. I really mean that....
Will I do another long program??? I would say probably not .. this one is an encore event for the most part ...
WHAT WILL WE LEARN ??
Wild collecting of 100 to 150 different plant medicines, medicine making, including how to make and do steam distillations, all types of extract making, salves, oils, etc., Clinical uses of plant medicines, Herbal First Aid, Preparedness Herbal Medicine, and so much more ...
