“This course has profoundly changed my life in the best way possible. I had no real understanding how beautiful and deep this course is.”
“This apprenticeship opened me up in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually - this course was fulfilling in every way. I think I went into it thinking I would just be learning about herbal healing, but I learned much more about myself, my process, and my own rhythm. I would tell anybody looking to deepen their connection with source, explore their relationship with nature, and embark on a journey of their inner worlds to take this course. It certainly has changed me, and I’m so pleased that it did.”
This course is everything and MORE. Not only do you learn the properties of plants, but you attune yourself to truly commune with them and all living things. This course guides you to connect with your innate intuition. It slows you down. It acts as intense therapy. It reintroduces you to Earth. Essentially, it brings you back home. This is a highly transformative experience, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and should be a requirement for all human beings. Our world would be a much nicer place.”

FOUNDER PURA LUNA APOTHECARY
My experience of this apprenticeship has been nothing short of miraculous. To learn and journey into the plant world, the wise woman tradition, the chakras, shamanic healing, earth/moon cycles, etc, is truly a life changing experience. The ability to surrender to the great void, the mystery, go with the flow and trust the divinity of spirit has allowed me a freedom within myself that I’ve never experienced before. I am empowered, educated, and completely different from how I originally arrived.

I am forever grateful to this course and the ways it has shown me. I am excited to take these tools into the real world and use it on patients. This course has reconnected me to earth, the spirit world, and the cosmos which had a positive effect on me physically and spiritually.

FOUNDER BLESSED BOOCH
My experience was more than I could have ever dreamed or asked for. I came to study herbalism from a more spiritual perspective, to connect with the plants and the earth and learn about their healing and teachings. What I experienced was a spiritual journey that transformed my heart, my soul, and my life. Marysia is an amazing teacher, guide, and conduit.
What Students are Saying
“There is so much to say about how The Sacred Wild enhanced my life—from deeper radical self care and love & connection to plant allies and spirits that showed up for me through really hard times, to more creativity and joy in my kitchen and creations that I share with everyone around me.
One thing I’ve cherished throughout this journey is the education you provided in tending to the earth and healing the soil. My partner and I bought the most wild, forested, magical 7 acres by a creek in Northern California, a longtime dream manifested into reality. The soil here has been abused by previous owners (dumping old batteries, chemicals and trash everywhere — we did about 20 dump runs clearing it all and it took weeks) and we really felt called to get this land, to tend to it with the deepest love and appreciation.
Learning how to properly compost and heal hydrophobic hillsides has been immensely profound. We’ve been applying the permaculture teachings you shared and we have seen the land transform in front of our eyes. Cover crops started growing on clay hydrophobic hillsides and are now buzzing with flowers and pollinators, our gardens have been producing the most delicious and vibrant food thanks to the healed soil and compost, the native plants are thriving with more spaciousness from continual care and love. This has been one of the most fun, challenging and gratifying experiences ever! We are sharing it with our neighbors and fellow farmers and keep spreading the wisdom. Thank you so much for the empowerment, we are stepping up our role as earthkeepers.”
— Milena Ovseevich
“I couldn’t give a higher recommendation for a course. Life-changing self-healing and transformation will occur as Marysia lovingly guides you to reweave your connection to the rich nourishment of Earth. The value of the content FAR exceeds the cost. One workshop would cost more than the monthly payment and each month is full of videos, recipes, live gatherings, guest experts and outstanding reading. So much support is provided.
As a graduate of Marysia’s in-person apprenticeship in 2019, I found the content new & exciting, and we never stop learning from the plants in meditation. I may even do it again! Like an earth-based plant spirit gym membership it keeps me on track with the healthy practices I most need in my life. I’m so grateful.”
— Rachel Jonte
“I learned an unimaginably great amount from this course. It could be described as one of those moments when you can just feel the course of your life altered. With this grounded and intuitive approach of embodiment, apprentices of the Sacred Wild learn to forge an intimate relationship with the plants and the Earth, to remember their natal and spiritual language, to open the Hearts, and to cultivate their personal gnosis which empowers them. We learn to become whole and holy by nourishing our bodies, hearts, and souls. We learn to trust our own Hearts and the Sacred and thus come into our own Power and Grace. I can recommend this course with my whole being to anyone, beginners or adepts alike, whether in herbalism or occult arts, and I’m sure you will definitely take something from it, because it connects you to the most tender parts inside, to the source of Life and Love. “
— Chin-Wei Chang
“This journey has been nothing short of miraculous in how it is teaching me about myself, my body and about everything else.”
— Michael Rob Costine
We are living in unprecedented times, with great transformations occurring personally, culturally, environmentally, politically, and socially. There is great opportunity here for us to embody our medicine as humans on Earth and be forces of nourishment, healing and magick through these changes.
The greater web of life has endured great transformation many times before and can teach us how to adapt, be resilient, transform, grow and bloom. With this in mind, I created
The Apprenticeship to the Sacred Wild
to deepen your physical, spiritual and emotional resilience, as well as your relationship with yourself, the Earth and the Great Mystery.
Join me. Let’s bloom with the blossoming Earth.
