The value of this apprenticeship is $2000. Total cost to you is $1300 paid in full or in monthly payments of $100, with at least $400 paid by April 1, 2010. Limited to 8 apprentices.

I have openings for three work-study live-out apprentices. The complete cost for a work-study student is $650 plus ninety hours of work, to be done during our weekends together, which will require you to arrive by 4pm on Fridays and stay until about 7pm Sunday.

All other Wise Woman apprentices arrive Sat morning by 10 am and leave Sun by 6pm, except on your moonlodge weekend when you arrive Fri at 5pm and leave Sun by 6pm.**
