Sacred Gardener School, early bird ends March 1
May 6-10 & August 19-23, 2026
This year, we were gifted a donation towards supporting people coming to the school, given that times are tight for many of us. We’ve added two options for a support fee and trust that you will choose it if it is needed. If you are able to offer more towards those in need of this offering, you can choose to be a benefactor. Our asking fee is what is offered with an early bird fee. Read More

The Sacred Gardener School is a ‘hedgerow school’ that teaches how to cherish and live in balance with the green and unseen worlds that surround us. We find the way back to wholeness through new historical and archetypal understandings of the past. Through initiatory experiences in the ancient arts of herbalism, healing and ceremony. And through in-depth work and observation while foraging and gardening we can all find the sacred road.
The program at The Sacred Gardener School consists of 4 – Five-day intensives, over two years. The fee is for two sessions (one year at a time) includes all teachings, your camping spot and all meals created from food grown or foraged on the land here, or from ethical producers nearby, handcrafted by Megan & helpers. Option to stay indoors in our hand made timberframe house available for an extra fee.
“The Sacred Gardener School has reconnected me to a sacred magic my childhood self longed for. It has created ripple effects of healing and growth that reach deep into my psyche and far out into the world around me. Steven and Megan have cultivated a portal through dark uncertainty into a future that contains the spark of life. My experience has been indispensable, and I would recommend anyone that resonates with the ideas of the program to enroll if they are able!” - Rosemary

First Session: BACK TO THE GARDEN
Spring: May 6-10, 2026
In the burgeoning spring we learn how to receive wild abundance. This foundational session de-programs us from our colonial paradigm and re-programs us back toward our indigenous soul.
This first session is introductory and foundational for moving into the other sessions. We come together in the burgeoning spring when the first green flush comes out on the land, and when the Earth provides us with a bounty of nurturing and cleansing plants. Which is exactly what our body needs at this time of year after the long winter. Read More
“For me, being at the Sacred Gardener school is coming back to a state of wonder. Each of Steven’s teachings, however big or small, have been continually opening my perspective to the mysteries of being alive. Steven’s teachings are a reminder that the earth is beautiful! From every sunrise, to rainfall, to birdsong, to plant, the world is filled with beautiful announcements and gifts.
When it feels like I’m living in a coldly secular world run by late-capitalist technocrats - a world where it can sometimes feel like I have lost essential parts of myself - coming to the land that Steven and Megan tend has felt urgent and important. This school has helped offer me the kind of enchantment I have needed to find meaning in this modern world. Also the hospitality and food that they offer is an absolute delight!” ~ Jeff
Second Session: ROOTS OF THE DARK GODDESS, FRUITS FROM OUTSIDE OF TIME
Mid summer: August 19-23, 2026
During this mid-summer session we learn the agricultural practices needed at that time. We also go deeper into the world of spirit, through ritually honouring the Dark Goddess and entering our “wound”.
In the second session we go deeper into Earth consciousness, honouring the dark Goddess by entering ‘the wound’. While it seems like summer is still at its peak, at this time of year the land begins to show the first signs of fall and decay, reminding us that the time of fruit and bounty will not only end but is paid for by the dark goddess of decay and disease.
