This is a space that is welcoming of diversity and different abilities/life experiences. We do not tolerate slurs or derogatory language toward others or ourselves. Can you agree to treat others and yourself with respect? Can you agree to receive, and if necessary, give constructive feedback in a respectful and open manner? *
ACCESS NEEDS: All apprenticeships require the ability to procure materials (dried or fresh herbs and spices, jars, oil/vinegar/alcohol, etc), to listen attentively for hours at a time, to follow directions (written and verbal), to read and write in English, to watch videos and listen to music, to have access to a heat source (stovetop, double burner, fireplace), and to have access to the internet at least 3 days a week. What accommodations, if any, do you need to make this a successful learning experience?
All apprenticeship courses require sitting for several hours at a time, lying down comfortably for guided meditations, and walking on uneven terrain. The Spring & Summer semesters and intensives take place almost entirely outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold, and involve walking over uneven terrain, gentle hiking of up to several hours, and physical movement including but not limited to bending, stooping, lifting, digging, pushing wheelbarrows, etc. as well as the physical stamina to cumulatively do so for several hours at a time. Are there health/mobility concerns that would make this a challenge, and if so, what accommodations do you require? (Some alternate activities may be substituted with advance notice).
Do you have any allergies/sensitivities or dietary restrictions you would like me to know about? If so, are there accommodations that would be helpful?
Please write down the names and contact information of at least 2 references and how you know them. At least one of your references needs to be a teacher or supervisor (past or present). Please do not include family members. *
