Conference: See You Next Year!

We hope you'll join us next year, and in the meantime, check out our Fall Retreat. Registration is OPEN and you can read more here.
Community & Sisterhood
We believe herbal medicine and wise woman gatherings should be accessible and inclusive of all women. From drum circles and tea parties to time in the market, you'll find a welcoming, soulful group of women to connect with.
Diverse Classes &
Amazing Presenters
Each year we have presenters from across the country join us to share their wisdom. Participants can choose from several workshops ranging from entry level classes to clinical intensives.
Sacred Space & Ceremony
Throughout the weekend you will find space and support to help you rest, heal, and reconnect such as Red Tent gatherings, guided nature walks, sacred women's circles, and special ceremonies.
Nourishment for Mind,
Body & Spirit
From nourishing meals and complimentary hand-blended teas to a marketplace filled with herbal medicine, stones, and nature inspired gifts, your entire being will feel loved and supported!
Intentional Partnerships
& Sustainability
We partner with sponsors, volunteers, and others who care about sharing and supporting herbal medicine and healing traditions. At our event, we recycle, compost and are mindful of our impact on the land and environment.

"The conference is a time to ground yourself and move forward with intentionality. The programing helps me understand how to better care for myself and be more selective with my energy and commitments.
