The final countdown! 💃


Hello Reader,

In my work as an herbalist, I have observed over and over two distinct human longings for…

💚 A sense of belonging

🌿 A sense of life purpose

I marvel at how my childhood plant crush grew into a passion and then settled into a lifelong love affair. Whenever I feel I am losing my sense of self, perhaps from too much time on the internet or too much stress in my work, the plants bring me back. The plants fill me with a desire to serve my community.

I found my purpose.

I can see the trail clearly, now that it is behind me.

I went on an herb walk and fell in love with plant medicine. I voraciously learned all I could on my own. Then, when that didn’t satisfy me, I attended the New England Women’s Herbal Conference every summer.

I found my tribe.

Next week, the tents go up, teachers arrive, and on Friday, Sept. 18, nearly 200 women will gather to celebrate the plants.

And Mara and I will be there to greet you… 💚

BotanicWise

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.
