Black Walnut Botanical Conference
I am thrilled to be a keynote speaker at the Black Walnut Botanical Conference !
The center of focus for the Black Walnut Botanical Conference is on the plants and herbal education, but there will be so much more! Our herb theme for 2022 is the quietly mighty, Plantain! A variety of classes, wild weed walks and activities will take place throughout the weekend. You are invited to participate in as many as you wish, or to use this time and space as your personal retreat.
Green Witch Guide to Spiritual Activism
What does a magical response to the heartlessness of the current paradigm that passes for reality look like? And what are the wise and unwise ways to do this work?
First, it requires community. Join us as we gather our collective powers of imagination to help weave a narrative of justice, compassion, & love for the present and future generations.
Weed Walk at the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary
Come delight in the discovery that wild food and herbal medicine is all around us wherever we live. Enjoy an uplifting and sensory educational experience identifying, sniffing, and tasting the wild local plants that are often dismissed as mere weeds. The plants you likely spend hours pulling out of your garden may become your new best friends when you discover that plantain stops the itch of a mosquito bite, dandelion leaves strengthen kidneys and ease blood pressure, and violets are rich in salicylic acid and can reduce headache pain! Nature is a marvelous teacher and ally and Robin Rose has been leading people on “weed walks” for 30 years. This will be a relaxing stroll through lawn and gardens and fun for all ages.
Summer Solstice Ritual Celebration!
Come join in a gathering to celebrate the Zenith of Light, the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. We will invoke sacred space, gather round the Midsummer fire, and turn the Wheel of the Year with movement, story, drumming, song, and chant. This is a perfect opportunity for summer wishes and intentions for the rest of the year!

Accessible Herbal Medicine the Wisewoman Way
One of the most common ways of healing self, family and friends is with homemade herbal medicines called “meals.” As Hippocrates said, “Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”
There is medicine all around us. Our kitchens, including our spice racks, can be an abundant source of effective medicine for us, and safer than what we find in the pharmacy. Open your mind and your senses to the broader possibilities for creating healing feasts in your own kitchen.
Common herbs, foods, and condiments such as basil, garlic, salt, onions, carrots, dark leafy greens, honey, vinegar, and so much more provide remedies for a vast variety of conditions. Mint plants, so rich in antioxidants and helpful for digestion, can help keep us well and in tip-top shape, which is to say, in mint condition! Many healing spice plants are in the mint family, such as basil, sage, rosemary, and lavender.

Magical Thinking or Delusional Wishing?
