Plant Science...
Take your remedies a step beyond folklore...
During our gatherings, we will dive into the science that makes plants effective remedies and explore how specific plants interact with our unique body systems.
​
This course places a special emphasis on local and wild-crafted herbs native to our region. Whether you are a city dweller foraging in urban green spaces or a gardener cultivating your own backyard sanctuary, you will finish this course with a deep connection to the plants that are most accessible to you.
We will explore over 40+ medicinal herbs that:​​
-
Build whole body health and support all body systems
-
Support the nervous system to help manage stress and bring ease into the spirit
-
Promote heart health, digestive wellness, and nurture the immune resilience
-
Sharpen concentration and cognitive focus
🌰
Connect to nature...
Deepen your connection to the darker months
Connecting to nature and cultivating a relationship with the land around you is the best medicine. It is a transformative act that grounds us, quiets the mind, and reminds us that we are part of a living, breathing ecosystem.
Each time we meet, we will spend time outside and engage in specific, nature-centered activities. For those who do not favor winter - these explorations just might change your mind!

Location
​​Our sessions are held at my home in Hancock, New Hampshire. Hancock plays host to the Harris Center for Conservation and Education, a 36,000-acre supersanctuary, and our land is almost fully enclosed by sanctuary space. We are blessed with a beautiful brook running through our property, wildlife, and shaded woodlands throughout. We have been working hard to tend to some long forgotten gardens and planting a fruit orchard, while also embracing all of the wild medicine available on the land.
​
Detailed directions and parking information will be sent upon registration.

Dear Undercover Witches,
There is nothing witchier than throwing on a pair of old jeans and digging in the dirt, harvesting wild "weeds" in season, and turning them into herbal remedies. Being a witch can be even simpler - observing the birds at the feeder during winter, advocating for mandatory recycling in your workplace, or even admiring the wildflowers on your drive home from work. Being a witch is about honoring and communing with nature.
Connection to nature heals us, sustains us, and gives us purpose in life.
Undercover Witch is a belief that the everyday womyn can find a deeper connection to herself and the beautiful world around us. She does not have to look the part (no green face, warts, or all-black wardrobe required). She simply makes the time to pause and feel in tune with the world around her.
We all have a little bit of witch inside us - a yearning for her to come out and play with the plants, collect pine cones and rocks, or run her hands along the bark of a unique looking tree. Your inner witch is curious and engaging. She listens, pauses, takes action, and gives back more than she takes.
For the moments when your inner witch wants to dive deep, I offer classes and daylong immersions where you can fully engage, learn how to craft remedies out of plants, and commune with nature in a meaningful way (and I throw a bit of science in there too!) Come learn with me. I promise it is fun (I tell terrible jokes).
Your undercover witch guides you toward cultivating a relationship with nature that allows you to heal, and be healed, with the world around you. I encourage you to listen to her.

xOm,
Jillian
The Undercover Witch
