Something is shifting.

The light is staying a little longer. The ground is warming beneath the surface, slow and sure. Winter has done its work — holding us, quieting us, asking us to go deep — and now spring is pressing at the door.

This is a good time to gather. And we have a few things coming that we want to make sure you know about.

Spring Allergies: What Your Body Is Really Saying

Today! Wednesday, March 18 · 6pm PT · Virtual · Free

Before you reach for the antihistamine, let's talk about what's actually happening. A grounded conversation on seasonal allergies, the plants that have long been worked with for this time of year, and how to support the body as it adjusts to the shift. Join Us on Zoom

Beauty and the Skin: The Medicinal and Spiritual Properties of Herbs

Saturday, April 19 · 12pm PT · Virtual
with Julie Moody-Freeman and Ericka Mabrie

Beauty as a practice, not a performance. Skin as a living record. Julie and Ericka bring their own depth to this dialogue, and together we'll explore what it means to tend to ourselves from the inside out.

Stay tuned for more information.

Save the Date — New Orleans Ancestral Excursion

October 29 – November 1, 2026

We are going to New Orleans.

This retreat is an immersion — into place, into plant, into lineage. New Orleans holds one of the most complex and living expressions of African diasporic herbal and spiritual tradition on this continent. We will move through it with intention, with reverence, and with each other.

Details and the full invitation are coming soon. For now — hold these dates.

Reach out here if you'd like to be first to know when registration opens.

The Apprenticeship Is Beginning Again

Orientation for the Spring season is April 26.

If you've been feeling the pull toward deeper study — toward really learning the plants, the traditions, the practice — this is your moment. The Apprenticeship is a year-long, seasonally-structured journey, and this cohort is forming now. Space is limited.

Learn more or explore whether this is the right fit for you.

Ready to Begin? Two Paths In.

If you're newer to herbal study, or simply want to explore before committing to a full program, the Herb-Curious and Foundations levels are open and available — self-paced, on your own time.
