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.
The Woodpecker’s Gift with Krista Nelson
|
Hello Reader, The Lenape people are the original inhabitants of the Delaware River watershed, whose lifeways are rooted in relationship with the land, water, and all living beings. In this immersive experience, participants are invited into The Woodpecker’s Gift, a participatory story that introduces Lenape vocabulary through voice, movement, and shared imagination. Though much has changed over time, the Lenape language continues to carry ancestral knowledge, offering a living bridge between past and present. A presentation of “Creek Drinking,” offering an example of listening to water and expressing appreciation through a musical offering, will be included. About Krista Nelson
Krista Nelson, an African American grandmother with Lenape ancestry, is a Native American flautist, Lenape language teacher, an ecotherapist, a grief guide, and certified Yoga Nidra Guide. Krista received Yoga Nidra transmission training under the guidance of Khushi Malhotra who’s teaching style is rooted in the classical yoga sutras, hatha yoga, tantra & Ayurveda. This webinar will be recorded, and the replay will be available to all registrants. Yours in Health, Charis Lindrooth BotanicWise |

Their rich culture, long hidden, is a story of resilience and renewal. We’re excited to announce that Krista Nelson will...
Hello Reader, Plants have long been our teachers in the healing arts. In this workshop, we explore another way they speak to us, through line, pigment, and paper, remembering that art and healing are simply two languages for the same relationship. Rooted in Tony(a)’s philosophy of Art that Breathes, this four-session workshop invites herbalists, plant lovers, and creative seekers to engage with plants not only as remedies, but as creative companions. Through simple creative practices, the...
