It’s here! I’m delighted to share the first look at the 2026 Virtual Herbalism Conference hosted by Herbal Academy, a gathering rooted in this year’s guiding theme: Wholeness.

In herbalism, wholeness is more than a concept. It’s a way of seeing the world.
This conference is a celebration of that integrative wisdom: where body, mind, spirit, plants, and people all meet in harmony.

And it’s an extraordinary lineup of herbalists and healers speaking at the upcoming conference – whose work embodies this fullness of practice and perspective!

And the best part? You’re invited to completely and generously join for free!

Have you ever taken Ashwagandha and wondered why it helped someone else… but felt confusing for you?

Is it actually about the herb, or about who it’s for and who it’s not?

I break this down in my latest video, including how Ashwagandha can affect stress, anxiety, hormones, sleep, and why experiences can vary so widely.

If you’ve ever questioned whether this herb is really a fit for your body, the full explanation is in the video 🌿

When people talk about Ashwagandha benefits, do you feel clear… or more confused?

Some people feel calmer and more grounded.
Others feel tired, flat, or unsure if it’s helping at all.

In the new video, I walk through why Ashwagandha works differently some, how to think about context, and what actually matters when working with this herb as a herbalist.

If you’ve ever tried it or considered it, your questions are answered in the video 💚

🌿 Usnea 🌿
One of my favorite antimicrobial allies and one I feel deeply connected to and never stop marveling at its slow, patient life cycle. Watching plants grow teaches us so much, especially about placing yourself in the conditions in which you'll thrive.

I’ve climbed trees more than once just to get a closer look, but mostly forage when I'm lucky enough to come across a fallen tree, like today!

Its antimicrobial action has a particular affinity for the urinary system, making it a trusted natural ally for bladder and kidney support. I tend to include the triple extract (separate extracts of water, alcohol and glycerin combined) in all of my infection blends.

If learning a bit about this quiet, powerful forest ally sparked something in you, let that curiosity lead you a little further.

The Herbal Academy Virtual Herbalism Conference is a free, heart-centered gathering where you’ll learn from dozens of experienced herbalists sharing practical, grounded, and culturally rooted plant wisdom. You can expect to deepen your understanding of how herbs support the whole person, body, mind and spirit.

You’ll learn how to:

👉🏾 Work safely and effectively with herbs for infections, immunity, inflammation, and stress

👉🏾 Understand plant actions and affinities (like why certain plants support specific body systems)

👉🏾 Build everyday herbal habits that actually fit real life

👉🏾 Explore traditional knowledge, modern research, and lived practice side by side

👉🏾 Reconnect with herbalism as relationship, not just information

And maybe you may meet a plant you didn’t even know you were looking for! A plant that speaks to you the way Usnea and so many other do to me.

A plant that becomes your favorite forest find, kitchen ally, or medicine-making companion.

This conference is an invitation to listen more closely, learn more deeply, and remember that healing doesn’t come from rushing, it comes from relationship. With plants, with community and most importantly, with yourself.

✨ Register for the free Virtual Herbalism Conference and come learn, remember, and discover your next plant ally.

Last year at the Herbal Academy Virtual Herbalism Conference, I had the sacred honor of speaking about using herbalism to support your trauma-healing journey — how plants help us restore safety, regulate the nervous system, and gently come back into relationship with ourselves. 🌿

What stayed with me was how well-received that conversation was because not everyone is willing to dive into the depths of their wounds much less believe that plants can help us find our way back.

This year’s theme, Wholeness, feels like a deepening of the work. Trauma healing is a return to wholeness, to integrating body, spirit, story, and lived experience. This conference continues that remembering, with teachers who speak to the full ecology of healing.

Here are just a few of the sessions I’m especially excited about this year:

🌱 Skin Food: A Holistic Approach to Crafting Botanical Skincare — by Natalya King (nurturing body and skin through plant intelligence)
🔥 Learning Herbs Across Climates and Cultures — by Abril Donea (a rich exploration of plant wisdom that honors diversity and lineage)
🍽️ Old Ways, New Tables: Herbs in Culinary Traditions — by Gaz Oakley (where food, ritual, and herbal nourishment meet)
🍄 Medicinal Mushrooms in Current and Traditional Healing Modalities — by Jasper Degenaars (bridging mycology, tradition, and modern herbal insight)

This gathering is more than a conference, it’s a living circle of teachers and herbalists inviting us into deeper connection with plants, ourselves, and one another. 🌼✨

If you’ve been longing for grounded herbal wisdom that supports your being, and belonging this is it. I hope you’ll join us.

There’s a special kind of healing that comes with knowing where you come from.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of ancestral knowledge, or desire to explore wisdom from global traditions, don’t miss this!

In spirit of the 2026 Virtual Herbalism Conference, the BIPOC Herbalism Community and Herbal Academy have co-created a powerful new free ebook filled with stories, herbal recipes, and roots that run deep:

*New* African American Herbal Recipes Ebook

Here’s a peek of what you’ll find within:

✨ “A grandmother once called a witch” guided story

✨ A look at plants that guided escape, survival, prayer, and healing

✨ Food traditions with centuries of meaning

✨ And herbal recipes passed down quietly from hand to hand, like immunity infusions, rabbit tobacco lung tea, a deep rest tincture, cinnamon spice cold-care tea, and more

This resource is an example of herbalism carried forward through memory and resilience. And while the stories are sure to captivate you, you won’t just be reading – you’ll learn how to make time-honored recipes, too.

Download Part 2 of the African American Herbalism ebook series to explore practical herbalism shared from African American herbal traditions.
