A Residency for Herbalists — May 15th–June 1st, 2026
Calling all plant whisperers, tincture tinkerers, and wildcrafting wanderers: settle in for two weeks of deep green connection. This herbalism residency is a slow, soulful retreat where experienced and emerging herbalists gather to share skills, learn from the land, and replenish their creative and medicinal wells.
What to expect
Shared offerings: Participants lead and attend workshops, skill-shares, and evening presentations—bring a favorite recipe, remedy, or ritual to teach.
Land-based learning: Daily foraging walks, plant identification sessions, habitat stewardship projects, and medicine-making with locally harvested botanicals.
Retreat rhythm: Gentle yoga, restorative movement, guided meditations, and quiet time for reflection, journaling, and personal projects.
Community medicine-making: Collective preparations—syrups, salves, decoctions, and seasonal formulations—made for sharing and swapping.
Mentorship and exchange: Opportunities for local connection, peer feedback, and collaborative micro-residencies to incubate new herbal projects.
Practical skills: Sustainable wildcrafting ethics, plant ecology, tincture techniques, fermentation, maceration, safe dosage practices, and plant energetics.
Ceremony and celebration: Seasonal rites, plant spirit sitting, and an end-of-residency sharing circle to honor what’s grown.
Who it’s for Herbalists, apothecaries, folk-healers, plant educators, and anyone who’s serious about learning from the land and committed to sustainable plant stewardship. Participants should arrive ready to teach one mini-session and engage in community care.
Dates & logistics
Residency dates: May 15th–June 1st, 2026
Pace: Intentional, community-centered, with ample unstructured time for study and rest.
Accommodation & meals: Communal lodging and nourishing, plant-forward meals that support herbal practice (specifics provided upon registration).
What to bring: Field guides, personal herbal tools, notebook, comfortable outdoor clothes, and an offering to share during the skill-share.
Why attend Reconnect with the wild wisdom of plants, expand your craft through collaboration, and leave with new friends, new formulas, and renewed reverence for the land that sustains our work. This residency is both a professional enrichment and a retreat for the soul—where learning meets lullaby and tinctures are brewed to the rhythm of the woods.
