2008 Northeast Grassroots Community Herbal Convergence

October 3rd-5th
This year's Convergence will be held at Earthfire Farm in Ashfield, MA

The Community Herbal Convergence is an annual bioregional gathering co-created by herbalists and activists. We are committed to accessibility, diversity, equality, and sustainability within the fields of Clinical and Community Herbalism, and Herbal Education. The convergence is a celebration of honoring ancient roots and new traditions. With our elders, teachers, and plants as guides, we envision healthcare that moves beyond racism, classism, homophobia, sexism, cultural appropriation, environmental degradation, and the corporate takeover of herbal medicine. This gathering is a space for creativity, sharing, education, gratitude, inquiry, healing, and empowerment. Our intention is to support and nourish diverse, inclusive, and reciprocal healthcare networks in the Northeast.
