The Ohlone Center for Herbal Studies offers an eight month intensive program. Studying intensively with professional herbalists on staff at Ohlone Center, a small group of students will fully immerse themselves in the world of herbs through classes, weekly field studies in the natural environment, and educational camping trips. Apprentices will gain a deep understanding of local plant life through firsthand experiences, in preparation for becoming successful herbalists and herbal educators.
The 600-hour Apprenticeship Program combines studies from the Ohlone Foundations Course and Herbal Therapeutics programs. Offered three days per week, Tuesday–Thursday from 9 AM to 3:30 PM., the Apprenticeship begins on March 9, 2010 and concludes on October 20, 2010.
Geared to deeply motivated beginning and intermediate level students, the Apprenticeship features these core courses:
Apprentices will also participate in three four-day camping trips in diverse California climate zones to study environmental awareness, ethical issues of wildcrafting and field identification.
