Five, 2 hr+ virtual/phone gatherings held every other Tues starting June 30, 2020 at 6pm PST.
Please plan to attend all gatherings; each one builds upon the next.
These gatherings are in “presentation style” with resource links for further deepening. The pace is moderate/quick with some prompts for personal reflection through out and beyond. The history is vast, largely untold by the dominant narrative, and requires further, active practice and study.
The two folks guiding are a white cis-female and white passing Latinx cis female who are forever learning. We welcome collaboration, feedback, thoughts, anything. Our viewpoint is limited by/to our lived experiences. You can reach out to us anytime at

The MISSION of the Mendocino County Herb Guild is to gather as farmers, medicine makers and community members to create Full-Circle Herbalism.
Full-Circle Herbalism benefits the community through regenerative cultivation and wild-crafting of herbs, intentional medicine-making, conscious education, and the development of accessible apothecaries and clinics so that healing plant medicine can be available to all who need it.
Here on Pomo territory, we are cultivating a self-reliant and resilient County by embracing the herbal resources of this bioregion to educate, empower and heal ourselves, each other, and the land so that Mendocino County and beyond may thrive.
