I have been learning about herbalism and steadily cultivating a deep and transformative relationship with food, plants and the land for many years now. I always say that the plants plan these workshops and events, because they tend to come together with a lot of ease, but I am definitely the material world vessel through which their manifestation occurs. As an organizer and facilitator, my approach is generally to ask who or what wants to show up, and then build things around those offerings. Each of these events grew out of an initial seed or desire which, when proffered, was met with support and enthusiasm. Presenters, teachers and other co-conspiritors (outside of the plants themselves) include Marie Hucal, Zarah Ackerwoman (HWB Detroit), Iman, Rachele Eve, Christiana Laine (and Secret City Collective), Sage Sherlock, Lis Chere, Maggie Piellusch, Jose Peral, Jai Knight, Meiko Krishok, Bebe, Jessi, Kate Daughdrill, and more.
