Herbalism and environmental education are my passions and I bring over 15 years of teaching experience into the programming I offer.
This Winter I am facilitating an online class-series where participants will learn about a variety medicinal plants that offer support for experiences of high stress, overwhelm, sadness, grief, fear and other emotions that make up the landscape of the human feelings. We will discuss how to identify, grow, and prepare a variety of herbal remedies.
A limited number of add-on herbal bundles are available for $33 (pickup, local delivery and shipping available). I’m excited to offer this option which will allow participants to taste, touch and smell the plants we are discussing in each class.
The emphasis of this series is on interconnection and ecology.
How can herbal remedies support us in navigating difficult emotions in a complex web of human relationships?
What lessons can we enact for living through these extraordinary times by deepening our relationship to Nature?
How can herbal remedies support us in accessing and stewarding these gifts from our beautiful and abundant Earth?
Arrive curious to get to know the medicinal plants growing all around us, some likely right outside our doors.
This is a space to learn more to support yourself and others in navigating individual and shared realities of anxiety, depression and other mental health struggles. However please note that I am not a doctor, therapist, or licensed provider. I am a clinical and community herbalist with almost 20 years of experience as well as a deeply feeling human with over 40 years of practice, living in a complex web of relationships.

The workshops I hold are engaging and informative. Teaching is my passion and I bring over 15 years of experience as an educator and organizer to facilitate an accessible and welcoming space. My workshops incorporate traditional wisdom, clinical perspectives and current research into a format that invites questions and hand-on participation with opportunities to taste/touch/smell a variety of herbs.
Arise Botanicals offers classes in partnership with Family Service Lincoln, Community Crops, Morrill Hall, Bright Lights, Central Community College, Southeast Community College and more. I also partner with local businesses to offer small hands-on workshops and pop-up events. Over the past year, I’ve been invited into existing programming with a number of community partners. This has been a joy to expand into.
