The sixth annual Midwest Women’s Herbal Conference, entitled Honoring the Wise Women of the Past, Present and Future, will bring together international herbalists and authors for a gathering of the feminine June 9 through 11 at Camp Helen Brachman, in Almond.

Speakers Tammi Sweet, Ubaka Hill, Lisa Ganora, Whapio and Robin Rose Bennett are just a few of the presenters for more than 60 workshops and plant walks. Kids Camp and Teen Spiral offer unique programs for the next generation of herbalists.

Three-day in-depth classes leading up to the conference include Clinical Herbalism with Tammi Sweet; a Radical Doula program with Whapio of the Matrona; and a Botanical Drawing Art Immersion with Wendy Hollender.

The conference village offers personal growth workshops, singing, dancing, plant walks, nourishing meals, swimming, campfires and magical “in-between” times. A Red Tent communal space invokes the spirit of generations of women and celebrates women’s inner wisdom.
