EARTHPACE:
4 WEEK JOURNEY WITH ELDER
This course will be steeped in ancient wisdom and modern herbal practices with an immersive 4-week series on the revered Elder tree. We will begin on the auspicious day of Samhain, where we will weave in the energies of the changing season and prepare ourselves for the darker months. We will delve into the mystical tales of the Elder tree, which is deeply associated with the Faery realms. In Ireland, witches flew on elder branches. Our journey will follow nature and bring in the energies of protection, transformation, and befriending the mysteries of life.
We will also have a special day of community medicine making where we will make immune tonics for the winter months as Elder is a supreme immune tonic!
Over the course of a month, you will:
Learn how to develop a relationship with plants
Learn about the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing
Learn how to make an immune tonics for the wintertime
Learn about ethical foraging & harvesting
Learn about the mythology of significance of Elder
Experience the benefits of working with Elder
Receive recipes
Connect with other earth-loving people
We also have a very special Guest Speaker who will join us live in November. Speaker information will be announced soon.
We will have 4 live calls, beginning with an opening ceremony on Samhain November 1 via Zoom. All calls will be recorded for those who can not join the live sessions.
This course requires no previous experience with plants or herbalism. If you are new to the world of herbalism this is a great introduction.
There is one scholarship spot as well as a half-price spot available as well, please reach out to me via email (dez@inthegarden.ie) if you’d like to apply for one of these.

What People Are Saying
Zorah C.
“Dezarae’s latest dandelion course was simply magical. I have learnt so much about this amazing plant. Dezarae weaves in a beautiful blend of practical herbalism and invites a spiritual connection through ritual and meditation rooted in the wise woman tradition. This course also covered garden design and a wonderful guest speaker Mary Reynolds who advocates leaving part of our gardens wild and only planting native plants. Participants were encouraged to share ideas with each other. All in all a truly inspirational experience.”
Sandra O.
“I did the 4 week dandelion course with Dez. I learned so much from it and not only about dandelion but also about nature and gardening. It was lovely being part of a group of people with similar interests. Can't recommend this course enough. Dezarae is an amazing facilitator and the material she provides is so informative. I will use the knowledge I gained through this course forever.”
Vicky F.
“It’s clear Dezarae is exactly where she is meant to be as a herbalist, teacher and facilitator. Her love for plants and people affects everything she does and each course is infused with deep respect and reverence for the plants and the land. Dezarae is so easy to listen to and she doesn’t hold back in sharing all of her wisdom and experience she’s collected over the years! It can be daunting to begin a new relationship and learn about a plant from scratch, but Dezarae makes it fun by infusing her courses with in-person connection days, medicine making, inspiring speakers, meditations and beautiful journals. Dezarae pours so much joy, love and beauty into her courses and I can’t recommend her work enough!”
Bernie C.
“I really enjoyed the dandelion course for 3 reasons. One: Dez is really knowledgable. Two: the other participents were a joy to interact with and i learned lots from them too. The planting day was a pure joy and i came back with gifts of seeds, 2 recipes, and wonderful new acquaintances. Im so looking forward to meeting up again for new learning great people and fun stuff. Also thrilled with the repeat customer discount. Big hugs to all involved”
Rachael B.
“Wow, where do I start? Everything Dezarae creates is just so wonderful. I have been using her tinctures for over half a year now and I feel the benefits every single day. I was also so lucky to be a part of her Dandelion course in March and the wisdom and profound insight that I received, was just magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you .
