Mentorship
“I am occasionally asked by lovely folk about mentoring opportunities and working with me on a one-to-one basis. I warn you I’m ‘next level fussy’ you need to ask me several times and sort some millet, silently weave incredible cloth from nettles, and want to be a character in one if not all if these stories, but also be tolerant of my chaos, work super hard and really, really love plants…”
“This is not a simple: “pay a price turn up process”!
The first step is to come along to a workshop or short course to get a feel for the way I work. One-to-one mentoring is an intricate process and is likely to vary for every person. I do not list dates and prices because for me that’s not how it works…
We will need to get along!
You will need to have your own ideas, hopes for your own path and love meandering trips with lots of words and conversations, where plants are suddenly brought into play…
If you survive a workshop or love one of our extraordinary three-day adventures and are still keen to be mentored, then get in touch with me directly and we can chat… but if you’ve got that far to be fair, we’ll probably already have started that conversation!”

A Unique Opportunity
Amanda says
‘Over the past few months I’ve been considering and planning some major changes, life has taken some rather fabulous twists and turns. As some areas of my work alter and exciting opportunities arise it becomes evident to me that other areas need to be ‘handed on’.
But these are wonderful and really important threads of work, many of which my mum passed on to me and I was then mentored not only by my mum, but also by my fabulous late friend and teacher: contemporary dance artist Rosina Bonsu. They are not specifically herbal storytelling elements, but are firmly rooted in the natural environment and will require input from an artist who really understands and values sustainability and ethics…you will also I suspect not be a storyteller, but will want to add that to your own creative thread…
