A few days ago I read on a friend's blog here that she is taking an Herbalism Class. That got me thinking about all things I always said I was going to do but have put off and working with flowers and herbs were one of those things. So, I went back and re-read her blog and looked up Susun Weed. I never heard of her so I was curious. What a pleasure it was to find so much wonderful information, and workshops, and classes, in person and online...The best part is that the Wise Woman Healing Center is located in Woodstock, NY...that's only an hour or so away from me. Must have been meant to be.

As I read further I saw that she offers Intensives and Apprenticeship programs. I was delighted. After much thinking, I have decided to register for the Green Goddess Apprentice Week on August 18th through the 24th. I have been looking for a long time something that would further my Spiritual Enlightenment, getting more in touch with myself and learning to become the strong woman I strive to be.

That week will do a multitude of things. For one, I will finally quit smoking, I will learn all about getting in touch and connected with my Green side. Learning about Herbs, making tinctures, oils, vinegars, teas and a whole lot more. Finally feeling connected to other women, something I have always had a hard time with...Getting rid of those lingering, negative messages that crop up and becoming more connected with my womanhood. At the end of the week, I will intiated as a Green Witch.

The center offers free Moon Lodges, more Workshops, Intensives and so many other beautiful things. The Green Goddess Apprenticeship can be seen here:

I am so very excited. What makes it better, but also harder is the price. It's a bit steep but she offers a work exchange which lowers the price extensively. I'll be working with the animals on the farm, tending the gardens and anything else that needs to be done.

What a wonderful opportunity this is! She is a fierce teacher/mentor but that is what I need to become all that I know and feel inside. I have felt stuck in a rut for quite a while now. Stagnant wondering where I am supposed to be and where I am supposed to go. Now I undertsand what my old therapist used to say to me..."You're right where you're supposed to at this very moment in time"...This is where I was/am supposed to be and this is a definite sign of where I am supposed to go and who knows what happens after that. All I know is that I will embrace the Green Goddess wholeheartedly and I can't wait.

I'm also excited because I received the book I ordered in the mail about Italian Witchcraft. The path I have delved into reading about and I am very excited. I am at a time in my life where I feel very creative, I just need to focus it where it will most blossom.

Night Blessings Everyone!
