Begins August 18th 〰️

Let me ask you a few questions

What would it feel like to learn herbs in rhythm with the seasons instead of all at once?

Would you love to confidently make your own herbal preparations at home?

Are you longing for a community that values curiosity and collaboration?

What could change if you had guidance instead of trying to learn it all alone?

You have come to the right place…

An exploration with plants,
rooted in seasonal rhythms,
and the art of embodied knowledge.

The Seasonal Being Herbal Mentorship is a six month container for people who are ready to stop collecting herbal knowledge and start living inside it.

This program moves through a full year of seasons together, one body system and one set of plant allies at a time. Every month connects what is happening in the natural world outside with what is happening inside your body. The nervous system. The liver. The lungs. The blood. The heart. Each one has its season. Each one has its plants.

Whether you have been dabbling in herbalism for a while or you are newer to the world of plants and ready to begin with real depth, this is where the information becomes instinct. Where the practice becomes part of how you move through a morning, how you respond to a hard season, how you feed yourself when your body is asking for something different.

This is an invitation to slow down into a practice you will carry in your body for life.

DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You have read the books. Taken a course or two. You know what adaptogens are and you have opinions about nervines. You have a small collection of tinctures on a shelf somewhere.

And you still do not quite feel like an herbalist.

Your nervous system has been running, and you know stress is affecting your body. You even know which herbs are supposed to help. But knowing and living are two completely different things.

You want to reach for the garden. You want to move through the seasons with intention. You want your hands in the medicine, not just your head in the books.

You are not looking for another course to abandon in week two. You are looking for something that becomes part of how you live.

That is exactly what this is.

LOOK FORWARD TO

Live Teachings

Four live calls every month bring the learning into your body in real time. Lectures, plant sittings, kitchen medicine making demonstrations, and a live Q + A. You can ask questions in the moment, bring what is alive for you, and build confidence as the seasons move. Calls are Tuesdays from 5-6pm PST

Your commitment is 6 months, and you receive 12 seasonal months of information.

Hand-made Plant Preparations Shipped to you

Six herbal medicines arrive at your door, one package per season. Made by Dana, curated to complement exactly what we are learning that month. Tasting, smelling, and holding the actual medicine builds a relationship. This is embodied learning.

Medicine Making, Recipes + Demos

Every month includes a hands on medicine making demonstration. You will build a real medicinal apothecary, one preparation at a time. The medicine making is where the information leaves the head and lands in the hands. This is where the magic happens.

A Living Community

Inside The Seasonal Being community you will find the people who are doing this work alongside you. People who understand why you spent your Saturday making elderberry syrup. Who want to see your jars and hear what you noticed when you sat with Motherwort.

Dana is present in the community feed regularly, answering questions and responding to what is alive in the group. The connection between calls keeps the practice warm and the learning rooted in real life.

Meet Your Teacher

Led By Dana Aronson

Hi there! I am a clinically trained herbalist and educator, devoted to helping others cultivate a grounded relationship with plants. I approach herbalism as a practice that keeps in mind the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit, and the seasons.

My work is guided by deep listening and practical application. Through mentorship, teaching, and community education, I strive to create a supportive and inclusive learning space where you gain confidence, skills, and a deeper trust in your own relationship with plants.

My mentorship is designed for people seeking meaningful, hands-on herbal education that invites you to grow your knowledge, intuition, and practice with integrity and care.

Since 2017, I’ve been fortunate to teach and support students in their herbal journeys.
