Wise Heart Herbal Gatherings

Ethical Harvesting

Wise Heart Herbal Gatherings

Step into the rhythms of the Earth and deepen your relationship with the plant world through Wise Heart’s Seasonal Herbal Gatherings — immersive outdoor classes rooted in community, connection, and embodied plant wisdom.

Each gathering unfolds in two parts:

Part I – Online Lecture (Zoom | Thursday 6–8pm)
We begin with foundational teaching — herbal energetics, plant identification, seasonal frameworks, preparation methods, and safety — so you arrive to the land prepared and attuned.

Part II – Outdoor Field Immersion (Saturday | 2–3 hours)
We gather in the field for guided plant walks, foraging practice, medicine-making, and direct relationship with the plants of the season.

Each gathering stands alone. You are welcome to join one or attend multiple throughout the year.

In 2026, Wise Heart will gather in:
March • April • September • October • November
(Summer pause May–August)

These classes weave together the wisdom of solar celebrations, Earth festivals, foraging, herbalism, plant communication, and intuitive practices while creating a beautiful community of local herbalists, gardeners, foragers and seekers of green wisdom.

More than just an herbalism course, this is a transformative experience designed to guide you from feeling lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected in your learning journey to becoming a fully embodied intuitive herbalist—one who works in deep alignment with plant allies and natural cycles. Along the way, you’ll find more than knowledge; you’ll find your people—a vibrant local herbalist community where learning is infused with joy, laughter, and shared wisdom. Whether you’re just beginning or seeking to deepen your practice, Wise Heart offers the support, structure, and guidance to help you flourish.

Fresh Medicine

Richboro, PA

As the Spring Equinox approaches, we attune to the first flush of green emerging along the water’s edge. Working with vibrant spring greens, we will explore identification, energetics, and fresh plant medicine while also being introduced to the foundational teachings of the Medicine Wheel — orienting ourselves to direction, season, and cycle. Together, we will begin practicing plant communication through simple offerings, song, and prayer, cultivating relationship rather than extraction. The Zoom session prepares the framework; our time on the land allows us to embody it — listening, gathering, and crafting seasonal medicine in reciprocity with the living world.

Note on location* It’s been an unusually cold winter, I want to select the location on the emergence of spring greens. I have found that along the waters edge in Richboro there is often a great display of spring green. I will scout the location before class and update accordingly.

Herbal Energetics

New Hope, PA

As spring waters flow, we center this gathering on Water — exploring the four elemental qualities of hot, cold, wet, and dry through direct experience. We will collect fresh spring water and prepare herbal water extracts, observing how preparation shapes energetic outcome.

This class deepens our study of single-herb practice, inviting a shift from accumulation to relationship — understanding that one plant, skillfully known, holds infinite potential for balance. Continuing our work with offerings, we now turn toward the sacred waters of the Earth, honoring the source that carries and amplifies plant medicine.


Honoring the Fourth Trimester
May-August 2026

Summer Pause

WhatsApp

Wise Heart will take a pause from in-person gatherings during the summer months as I prepare to welcome my second child. This time is dedicated to honoring the Fourth Trimester — staying close to heart and home, nurturing presence, and allowing space for growth and restoration.
Though we won’t meet formally in person, our community will continue to connect, share, and gather online via WhatsApp. Those who wish to meet in person are invited to coordinate among themselves, continuing to explore, learn, and deepen their relationship with plants and each other over the abundant summer season.
This pause allows space for reflection, integration, and presence, ensuring that when we return in September, we come together fully renewed and in rhythm with the seasonal cycles.

This class deepens preservation skills while nurturing intuitive herbal practices and plant communication.
