Welcome to Sage Mountain
Welcome to Sage Mountain. Founded 24 years ago by Rosemary Gladstar and family, Sage Mountain Herbal Retreat Center & Botanical Sanctuary has become one of New England's foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 pristine acres in central Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. There is an incredible assortment of wild herbs and flowers growing in habitats that vary from meadows, forest to wet lands. Our wild neighbors include deer, bear, moose, beavers, bobcat, otters, fox and a wonderful variety of feathered folk that honor us with their presence. It is with a special feeling in our heart that we invite others to share in the bounty and teachings of this land with us.

A Plant Lover's Journey To the Beautiful Tuscan Countryside
Join Rosemary Gladstar, Dr. Richard Liebmann, Natalie Young & Nancy Phillips
May 26 ~ June 6th, 2012
Experience the Art of Good Living in Italy.
Atop a broad hill in the countryside of Tuscany stands a sixteenth century villa, Certano, owned by Mario Baldassarrini and his wife Hedy. This expansively warm Siennese elder and his Swiss born wife will welcome us into their timeless and magnificent home. We will experience an enchanting and romantic 11 wonderful days focused on herbs, health, culture, and rejuvenation. Beautiful grape vineyards, olive groves, beehives, vegetable and flower gardens roll gracefully through the hills surrounding the villa as they have for 500 years. The hills are still actively tended, produce harvested and made into exquisitely delicious wines, olive oil, honey and food for the table. A church built over 1200 years ago rests between the winery and villa. The ancient walled city of Siena is just minutes away and Florence, one of the most renowned cities for art in the world, is an hour’s drive.
Pilgrimage is an age-old journey to sacred spaces and places.
We will be making pilgrimage throughout our journey, searching for the authentic, searching for the inner meaning and the interconnectedness. There are natural hot springs and spas to experience, walks through the bucolic countryside, teachings from local people, walled castles to wander in, and the profoundly exquisite art and architecture of Italy to lose oneself in.
Sage Mountain Advanced Training Program
We’re happy to announce that we’ll be offering the Sage Mountain Advanced Training Program again on Sage Mountain in 2012 and hope you can join us. One of our most popular programs, the Advanced Herbal Training Program is designed to provide a stimulating course of studies for the intermediate/advanced student of herbalism that will inspire, challenge and augment your current level of knowledge. It is an excellent program for those who wish to continue their herbal studies for self-interest and family health care as well as those who are studying to become practicing community herbalists.
Each year we invite several of our favorite herbal teachers to teach the program so students are exposed to a variety of teachers. We’ve selected the format of a ‘body system a month’ as a coherent framework in which to organize information. The course also covers a variety of other topics as well including assessment skills, constitutional herbalism, different system approaches to herbalism and the `how to’s’ of setting up a home practice. In addition, there’s an optional Botany & Plant Identification class offered each Friday afternoon.
