About the NEWHC

At the NEWHC, we specifically strive to bring together plant lovers/herbalists/healers who represent many aspects of herbalism: folklore and family herbalism, clinical, gardener and farmer, energetic and plant spirit teachings, conservation/stewardship, artistry and activism. We strongly feel by interfacing and coming together in the spirit of the green, we can best expand our network of people who are committed to co-creating a healthier world for all. Together, we are part of a revolution in health care, and many of the herbalists who will be attending the NEWHC as speakers and participants alike have helped green the way…  

Join me at the 32nd Annual New England Women's Herbal Conference (NEWHC) where I’ll be presenting the following workshops and co-creating the first ever Queer and Trans affinity space at the NEWHC—the Lavender Luxury Lounge.

Writing in the Weeds (BIPOC only) What lessons do 'weeds' have for our creative and social movements? This workshop will engage with plant medicine as a process for recovering the fullness of our personal and collective stories, memories, and identities. Through practices of embodied writing, we'll explore the wisdom and strategies that plant allies can share in supporting our creative emancipation. By building relationships with plants that are grounded in deep listening principles, we are able to access stories of ancestral resilience and resourcefulness to challenge dominant ideologies and envision possibilities for a loving, regenerative, transformative world.

Generative Space Care
Learn how plant medicine can provide preventative care and healing for your generative space. The workshop will focus specifically on care for folks who have had the experience of mxnstruating. We will also explore food as medicine, daily wellness and creativity rituals that can strengthen awareness and connection to the generative space, and focus on the medicine of a few plant allies that have a specific affinity for the generative space.
