BotanicWise was founded by Charis Lindrooth with the intention of providing a forum where plant wisdom can be shared and where like-minded people can connect and build a community to steward land, medicinal plants, and supportive relationships with each other. Inspired by the work of Rosemary Gladstar, David Winston, United Plant Savers, and many internationally acclaimed teachers and organizations in the herbal renaissance, BotanicWise strives to create space for land and plant stewardship, with an inner mission to cultivate alliances between plants and people, and between people and people. We are grateful for all who participate in this expanding green movement that invites perspective on the transformation of modern health and health care in this country.
🌱Cultivating Community
|
Hello Reader, We all want to be healthy. We exercise. We choose our food carefully…most of the time. 😋We cultivate a peaceful mind. And still, perfect health eludes us. This is part of being human. Underneath this quest is a longing for wholeness…To be complete. To be seen. To have purpose. I remember walking to school as a small child and pondering my future on this earth. Even though I was so little, I had a reverence for the feeling that I was meant for something big.I now believe this ‘big-ness' was not one great thing that I was going to contribute to the betterment of the planet, but rather my role as part of a community that brings healing and opens the door for others to step into their radiance. This great and wonderful community of healers has fed my roots and encouraged my branches to stretch, reach, and support others. Our roots reach and connect to each other, and together we cultivate an environment of discovery, where compassion, kindness, and healing thrive.🌱 Together, the potential for something big to happen rises. Deep transformation and restoration arise when a person feels supported, nurtured, and loved. For me, this happens every year at the BotanicWise Women’s Gathering.

Hello Reader, This winter I binged on the new season of Bridgerton…I confess, my one weakness! 😇 I really love the period costumes, and my eyes popped out of my head during the masquerade ball—a perfect mix of glamour, mystery, and romance! That’s when I decided to host a nature-inspired masquerade ball at this year’s BotanicWise Women’s Gathering! The preparation is the best part! You can dress up, or down, but you must have a mask. There will be a mask-making station at the event, but why...
Hello Reader, Have you ever met my friend Krista Nelson? If you have, I’m sure you agree with me that she’s unforgettable—a Grandmother Earth energy comes to mind when I think of her. She is here to make a difference.
