Earth Honoring Apprenticeship

If you’re ready to go deeper into your intuitive abilities and personal development, apprenticeship courses offer structure, practice, and support for your next level of growth.

Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, your intuition, or the natural world?

Are you looking for a spiritual community where you can learn, grow, and explore without judgment?

The Earth Honoring Apprenticeship is a one-year journey designed to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, your intuition, Spirit, and the world around you.

Throughout the program, you will explore the four elements—Water, Fire, Air, and Earth—and how each one can reflect different parts of your life:

  • Water connects with your emotions.
  • Fire represents transformation.
  • Air supports clarity and perspective.
  • Earth helps you feel grounded and present.

You will also learn how to create and work with an Earth Honoring Altar as a personal tool for reflection, connection, and growth. The altar becomes a way to slow down, listen more deeply, and build a stronger relationship with both the natural world and your own inner wisdom.

For centuries, cultures around the world have used altars, medicine cloths, mandalas, and other meaningful symbols to connect with nature, community, and personal reflection. During this apprenticeship, you will create your own Earth Medicine Altar, shaped by your experiences, your spiritual background, and what feels meaningful to you.

Our first weekend will focus on building the foundation. You will learn what an Earth Honoring Altar is, why it is used, and how nature can offer insight for personal and spiritual growth.

During each weekend that follows, we will continue building your altar and exploring your relationship with:

  • Fire, Earth, Air, and Water
  • The physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual parts of yourself
  • Guardians and symbols that hold personal meaning
  • Your intuition and your own way of connecting with Spirit

This work is not about following one belief system or doing things one specific way. It is about creating something personal, meaningful, and true to you.

The Earth Honoring Apprenticeship is co-facilitated by Elias Patras and Moira Scullion.
