“My experience at Twin Star has been nothing short of magical. I love that we are taught the old ways with such reverence and respect to those who came before us, and are taught how selfless this work truly is. My favorite aspect of my training at Twin Star is the full spectrum approach treating a client as a multidimensional being with both physical and energetic aspects to look at!”

“In my three years at Twin Star, I have found it to be an invaluable resource for herbal knowledge, experience, and community. I have made lifelong friends out of both people and plants, and Lupo and Bekah do an amazing job of helping each individual student find their place in the craft. Twin Star made it possible for me to understand the call I've been hearing to herbalism my whole life, and I am forever grateful for it!”

“Twin Star showed up in my life when I most needed community. After only one class, I felt like I had come home. I've spent the last 4+ years taking anything and everything I've had time for. I've learned a wealth of herbal knowledge, and been introduced to topics I would never have known without them. Lupo's style is engaging, pulling you out of the classroom and into nature so you can experience herbalism in person, firsthand whenever possible. I have genuinely loved every class I have ever taken and look forward to taking many others in the future!”

“I've launched a regional chapter of Herbalists without Borders in New Hampshire, held workshops on making elderberry syrup and fire cider for my community, and organized seed swaps. Personally, the education at Twin Star has made a huge difference in my life. I am able to care for myself and my family and feel much more self-sufficient and proactive with overall wellness and wellbeing and minor first aid. I have shared that connection and experience with others, forming a Womyn's Full Moon Circle in my community in New Hampshire and more recently a group for myself and other healers to hold space for each other knowing that we often care and hold space for others and need to prioritize self care.”

Sharon Rose 

Graduate of Spiral Path: A Woman’s Medicine Way Apprenticeship


”Learning, practicing and experiencing the cycles of femininity and the gifts of sisterhood with the guidance of Lupo, Linda and Bekah and the support of the  \women alongside me on our journey was a priceless addition to my life. The knowledge we were handed down is an invaluable gift that I am honored to now be able to share with the ladies in my life, both of personal relations and those I've yet to meet. To hold the gift of womb wisdom is a blessing, and I have Lupo to thank for inviting me to share those sacred nine months with the class. Spiral Path held me in a trying time, and I cannot say enough good things about the friendships made, the nurturing space held, and the abundance of information, ceremony, crafting, singing, and connecting done with one another, the seasons, plants, flowers, ancestors, goddesses and the Great Mother herself.”
