Welcome to Herbal Joy

Herbal Joy is a study group and a safe space for budding herbalists to show up as themselves, weeds and all.  We encourage one another to work mindfully with herbs to support ourselves, our family and our community. 

We are currently working with two sources:

• Wild Remedies book by Rosalee De La Foret

• Community Herbalism Toolkit online course by Commonwealth Holistic Herbalism.

We are holistic herbalists. 

We offer herbal information so people can take action to support their own health.  This is not medical advice but safe accessible self-care strategies.

We trust our bodies. 

We acknowledge that every body is different.  Each of us is the only expert on our bodies.  We make mindful choices to support our bodies.  We trust our awareness.  We ask questions and use multiple sources for information that include competent healthcare professionals as needed.

We honor the plants as our teachers. 

We are in relationship with plants that includes gifting and receiving.  We are stewards of the plants as we work with them.  As Rosemary Gladstar said, “Talking to the plants is one way to talk to Spirit.”

Monthly offerings may include:

• Herb of the Month notes

• Community Herbalist Study Group – live and/or zoom

• Kitchen Table Tea Ceremony – live and/or zoom

• Recipe Share

I am delighted that you are gathering here with us, and I look forward to seeing you soon!
