Prep & Policies

Thank you for joining our amazing Apprenticeship Program (amazing because no only is the program is amazing, but so are our apprentices!). This page will help you prepare for your apprenticeship by taking next steps and gathering important materials. We are so glad that you are going to join us on this wonderful adventure, and are so looking forward to working with you!

In order for you to be prepared to get the most out of your apprenticeship here at the Cedar Mountain Herb School, please read all of the sections, so that there are no surprises.

You should already be familiar with the terms of service you agreed to when you purchased the course, but if it slipped through when you registered, please make sure to read it.

Start gathering your books, tools, and supplies that you’ll need early. Then look at it all and smile with delight thinking about all the cool things you’re going to learn and all the remedies you’ll make!

Not required but strongly recommended:

 

HOUSING INFORMATION: Housing is not provided. Students must make their own housing and travel arrangements.

SUPPLIES LIST: Students will need to acquire the tools, equipment, jars, and menstrua needed for harvesting and making medicine. The following is a list of supplies to acquire in order to successfully harvest plants and make effective herbal remedies. Students will be given a “what to bring” list for each lesson, whether for in-person harvesting and medicine making or homework to be done outside of the lessons. Bear in mind that not all supplies may be needed each lesson/homework.

Here are Suzanne’s favorite supplies for remedy making. These are the tools and ingredients used throughout the apprenticeship. Affiliate links are provided for your convenience.

Tools & Equipment for Outings

Menstrua & Other Remedy Making Ingredients

Students will be advised what will be needed for each lesson. Note that not all supplies will be needed for each lesson, but it will be good to have everything on hand.

Basic Equipment

You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to get started, however, having a stocked working environment makes remedy making fun. Feel free to improvise as you learn!

Small bottles and jars can be found in-person at local natural food stores and online at Amazon.

    Upon registration, apprentices will be given access to the Apprentice Portal where they will find their course(s). This is the only place where valuable course info is posted including weekly lessons, what to bring, where to meet, important announcements. Supplies needed to acquire in order to successfully harvest plants and make effective herbal remedies are listed for the student to start gathering the books, tools, and supplies needed in plenty of time before the program begins.

  • Refund & missed classes policy

  • There are absolutely no refunds, transfers, or make-up days for missed classes or dropping the programs 1 month or less from the start of the program, and/or once the program begins.
