a year of communing with Earth’s angels
monthly breath gatherings through 2026
grow your relationship with plants, herbs, & flowers
in the apothecary…

The Apothecary is an enchanted nook between worlds -
a place where herbs greet you like angels in disguise,
where plants are capable of answering prayers,
a place where you’re able to hear your
heart and humanity.
Through herbal listening and lore, guided breath meditations, recipes, and intentional space for inward communion, our monthly gatherings are designed to assist you in harmonizing with the heart of Nature.

Reflections from Previous Participants
“Being guided and held in Madeline’s classes is such a blessing. The gift of her careful, thoughtful, intentional curation invited me to drop deeply into my heart space. I received so much affirmative wisdom by connecting to my breath, the softness of my body, the prayer from the music, the angelic presence, the ancestral protection. It felt like my kind of church, where feeling beloved is the sermon.”
-Courtney Mann
“I always have something special happen in any class with Madeline.
She seems to have a direct line to the unseen and is absolutely one of my favorite teachers ever.”
-Betsy B. Murphy
What’s Included
Monthly Live Sessions: Gather with us live from 10:00am to 11:45am (PST) every month! We primarily meet on new moons and seasonal celebrations throughout the year. Each gathering explores a seasonal theme and plant ally through shared herbal lore, guided breath, lunar wisdom, and integration practices - offering an invitation to listen within and immerse in the medicine of the month.
Integration Resources: Each session is accompanied by thoughtfully crafted integration resources -
including plant reflections, simple materia medica, journaling prompts, recipes, and creative practices - designed to support ongoing relationship with the plants between our live gatherings.
Community: You’ll be welcomed into a circle of fellow plant-lovers and kindred spirits! Our live gatherings offer space not only to deepen relationship with the plants, but also to connect, reflect, and be witnessed within a supportive community.
Private Web Portal: If you’re unable to join live, all gatherings and resources are recorded and shared for later viewing in our private web portal. You’ll have ongoing access to a private web portal, allowing you to return to the teachings and practices in your own time - receiving the nourishment of the Apothecary whenever it’s needed!

You are seeking a clinical, protocol-based herbalism training or certification

You are not interested in experiential, intuitive, or relational approaches to plants
FAQS
-
Yes. All the classes are recorded and posted in a private web portal for you to take in your own time if unable to attend live.
-
A suggested list of herbs will be shared for those who feel called to work with the plants physically at home, though this is entirely optional. The Apothecary can also be approached as a space of energetic learning, relationship, and attunement.
You do not need access to every plant to receive its medicine. Through guided exploration, you can learn directly from the plants in ways that extend beyond having them on hand.
That said, you may find there are certain plants you feel especially drawn to. You’re always welcome to gradually build your home apothecary in a way that feels organic, intuitive, and supportive for you.
-
Yes - especially if you’re longing to return to relationship with the essence and spirit of the plants. This space is less about accumulating more information and more about deepening presence, listening, and devotion.
The Apothecary offers a way to enrich your existing practice by attuning more closely to plant intelligence, subtle medicine, and seasonal rhythm.
-
This space is beginner-friendly. The Apothecary introduces simple, accessible ways to work with plants at home, often starting with practices as basic as placing herbs in a jar and letting them steep. In other words, if you’ve ever made a cup of tea and feel curious to go deeper, this could be a beautiful fit.
At the same time, it’s important to name what this space is and isn’t! The Apothecary is not an herbalism school or clinical training. While foundational information will be shared, the emphasis is less on accumulating knowledge and more on cultivating relationship: learning to listen to the energetic essence of plants, attune to their rhythms, and welcome their gifts into your daily life.
If you’re seeking a formal, protocol-based herbalism program, this is likely not the right fit. If you’re longing for a relational way to begin immersing deeper with plants, the Apothecary could be a wonderful fit.
-
Each class will begin with a brief guided centering process to energetically enter the Apothecary. From there, we’ll move into our class theme with a series of reflective slides on herbal actions and lore, lunar wisdom, and space to attune and commune to the topic. We’ll then move into an experiential practice, where you’ll be guided through breath meditation designed to deepen your connection to the theme. We’ll close each session with space for optional sharing, reflection, and integration.
You’ll also receive suggested integration resources, including journaling prompts, recipes, and creative exercises, all of which will be posted in our private web portal for easy access and ongoing integration.
