Hi, I’m Sara…

Growing up on Whidbey Island, I was always enchanted by the flora of the Pacific Northwest, from the rich, loamy forests to the sacred seasides and lush fern patches. Enriched from an early age by the wisdom and teachings of local herbalists, I’ve spent years wandering the woods with a foraging basket in hand, connecting with local plants and crafting them into herbal formulas.

As my knowledge and understanding of the plants grew, so, too, did my awe of untamed spaces and beneficial herbs. Hawthorn & Honey is dedicated to the wilderness, and to all the wild, free folk under its spell.

Apprenticeship Testimonials
Rachele

Within my first couple weeks of the apprenticeship, I had already started to feel a little lighter. Incorporating the herbs we learned about in class, and the knowledge of using plants as allies expanded my mind and slowly opened my heart. I had no idea there were so many (local) medicinal herbs!

Sherry

The way Sara instructs is PERFECT for retaining information, staying engaged, and feeling like it's safe to ask any question. She is also brave enough to say when she doesn't know something, since it provides an opportunity for us all to investigate and learn something new together. All that aside, the best part of her apprenticeships is being out together and connecting...no, RE-connecting with nature.

Lena

This herbal apprenticeship has been essential in my finding community and nurturing a sense of place in my new home. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but in my three seasons so far I have learned so much about being in relationship with plants and the land we live on. Perhaps even more vital is the journey of integrating herbal healing into my broader work as a midwife.
