On January 20-21, 2024 we gathered over the course of fourteen sessions together in community, exploring how relationship, care, and community guide our work as herbalists and land based people.
Our community of educators shared insight and tools rooted in their own experiences and relationships.
As we face complex challenges for the earth, our human and more than human kin, it feels more important than ever to learn how to hold each other through these times.
How to imagine, together.
Over the course of the weekend we will explore:
🌿Collective insight and skill building learning how to build meaningful, reciprocal, life-affirming and authentic relationships with each other, with the plants, the land and the cosmos.
🌿How do relationships, and interrelationships guide our work? What if centering these relationships were our guiding star, how would our work look?
🌿Beyond skills as herbalists or educators, how do we create fertile ground for healing and transformation in the spaces we create?
🌿 How do the plants and the natural world model relationship, reciprocity, complexity?
🌿What does it mean to be a steward and be in "right relationship" with the plants, the land, and with each other.
🌿 How can we cultivate our imaginations to create the future of our dreams?
And so much more . . .
Together we can cultivate fertile ground with insight,
skills, and relationship building into the future.
Over the last 11 years at Wild Ginger, through many learning curves and
while holding spaces in our community made up of a wide range of
identities, we know we have so much to learn.
We have more questions than answers, and know this work is ongoing.
We believe using our imaginations together, and sharing what we know,
we can learn, dream, and create.
We know within our community we hold many solutions.
Among us are brilliant minds, dreamers, creators, caretakers, educators.
Among us we have what we need.
We believe as communities we are ripe with possibility.
Together we explore how to cultivate our community, learning, and healing spaces
and relationships deeply rooted in respect, care, justice, and reciprocity.

What the Forest Teaches Us: Apocalypse as Collapse-Renewal
& Interconnection as the Essence of Life with Namita Kulkarni
We all have within us a bone memory of our deep interconnectedness - with each other, with plants, animals and the more-than-human. Trees having been around way longer than us, sending their roots down way deeper than us, have a lot to teach us about interconnectedness as the essence of life. Individualism is baked into every aspect of modern life, but if you ask the forest, there’s no such thing as an individual. Every part of the forest is the forest. Even a piece of dead wood is teeming with more life and elegant ecosystems than we have scientific names for. A dead tree is an infinite hotel, to quote Richard Powers in The Overstory.
With the climate crisis making itself loud and clear, the big apocalypse has never seemed this real and around-the-corner. Often understood as the fiery end of everything, a less common interpretation of the word Apocalypse, from the Greek Apocalypsis, is collapse-renewal. Not in the linear sense of collapse first, renewal later, but in an intertwined unfolding of both collapse and renewal together. The seeds of renewal finding life within the collapse. This is a broader, more helpful and less anxiety-inducing interpretation, you might agree. For starters, it doesn’t hold us hostage to modern culture’s linear time framework within a rapidly dwindling set of possibilities.
Apocalypse as collapse-renewal invites us to consider our place in the intertwined webs of collapse and renewal. What threads do we hold onto and weave while old plans unravel in the collapse, which seeds do we water? What dark, gnarly underworld swamps do we reach down into and put down our roots in, which sunbeams do we bask in? Both sides of the collapse-renewal coin invite our fullest involvement. The dead tree being just as much an infinite hotel is a great teacher of apocalypse as collapse-renewal. It’s time to learn from our most ancient elders, the trees.
I'm Namita Kulkarni, I've been teaching yoga for 14 years now. I live in India and I'm also an artist. The overlap between yoga and creativity has made itself known to me in ways I couldn't have imagined, and that is an area of particular interest to me.

Energetic Communication: A Forgotten Language
This class will focus on strengthening the muscle of our intuition, our listening skills. All of life communicates energetically, the plants, the animals, and we do too we just don’t do it consciously. We talk about ‘vibes’ all the time. Bad vibes, good vibes, but what does that actually mean? It means that you feel in your body, in an indescribable way, an attraction or an aversion or some reaction to something. This is instinctual. It’s our first line of defense against danger but also it’s how we can stay clear with what we actually want. Not only what our bodies might need, but what our soul needs. And once we can hear ourselves better, we can then hear the way others are also communicating this way. So in this class we will learn some tools to hear ourselves better so we can be better listeners and how to tune into this language to communicate with plants. All plants are teacher plants, they are our older siblings in creation, the elders—they initiate us into what it means to be truly human and in right relationship with the flow of life. All plants carry a unique signature, just as humans are unique, all of life carries specific qualities and abilities, an energy, a vibration, a lesson.

Tool No. 4: Plantcestor Support to Resist Wealth Extraction, Override the Scarcity Reflex, & Nurture Mutual Aid
Our economy today is based on a long history of wealth extraction that positions us to work, buy, and sell for survival. This system feeds on the disruption of natural connections, cycles, and relations. It imposes imbalance and reinforces inequity while teaching us to associate expressing need and asking for support with inadequacy and weakness. Many of us are deeply shaped by these ideas, integrating them into our lives over time until we reflexively enforce them on ourselves and others around us.
This session introduces Tool No.4, a training curriculum and self-empowerment tool formulated as a medicinal loose incense blend. Tool No.4 is designed to neutralize the Scarcity Reflex and promote ancestral healing from wealth extraction with a collective vision for wealth reclamation. It’s an intuition toner, a relationship trainer, a story collector, a pattern detector, and a compass.
The blend’s main ingredient is Amaranth, an ancient plant ancestor among people and cultures all across the world. Tool No.4 matches her to a team of nine other powerful plantcestors all contributing their wisdom and working together to help guide us away from dis-connection and scarcity and accompany us towards reconnection and abundance.
Together, we’ll take a tour of Tool No.4 and explore herbal formulations designed to support re-connection, healing, and transformation for community organizing and movement-building. We’ll imagine resourcing ourselves and our communities through the natural abundance of our connections to others and the world around us.
Session participants will have access to a virtual copy of Tool No.4: Ancestral Healing Loose Incense Blend and can request a physical copy by emailing name and USPS shipping address to: projects@reclaimcommunitywealth.org

Curiosity as a Root of Relationship with Madison McCoy
Curiosity is one of the main roots of sustained relationships- holding one another through complexity, nuance, time and change. How can we hold each other even when we do not fully understand?

We will uncover the inherent value of curiosity, exploring how it acts as a catalyst for deeper connections. By examining the ways in which curiosity enhances our understanding of plants and strengthens our bonds with one another, we will unlock the secrets to cultivating meaningful relationships. Additionally, we'll introduce practical techniques for effectively centering curiosity in our interactions, paving the way for more fulfilling connections and a greater appreciation for the natural world around us. Join us as we embark on a journey of discovery, connection, and growth through the power of curiosity.

Herbalism through an Ecological Lens with Calyx Liddick
In this class we will reflect on the ways in which the study of ecology can help us as herbalists. We’ll explore the lives of the plants themselves, and how all of their relationships with the flora, fauna, and other ecological community members that surround them can inform our understanding of the plant’s interactions with us and the medicine they offer, as well as our own place in the ecological web.
