KEYNOTE DESCRIPTION

Althea will talk about the vital role that we all can play in bringing knowledge of plants back into the mainstream. From the basic home skills that our grandmothers and grandfathers possessed, to the clinical practitioner, we all have pieces to bring to the table. As cooks, gardeners, medicine makers, educators and healers, our spiritual connections to the plants can enrich the lives of everyone around us; and as health care becomes more expensive and less founded in the day to day skills that enhance and create wellness, Herbalism can reconnect and empower us. She will talk about the many ways we can all become "herbal messengers,” bringing back health care to the home, office and institutions that make up our world.
