Pacific Women's Herbal Conference
Celebrating Women and Nature since 1995
About the Pacific Women’s Herbal Conference
An annual event for women to connect, learn and deepen our practice of growth and transformation. With the familiar flow of seasonal change and the gifts of the green, we follow the lineage of the grandmothers, nurses, herbalists, midwives and you.
This year under a first quarter waxing moon, we'll sit beside a fire circle upon the shore of the Salish Sea. A place that supports the flow of information, commerce, ceremony and celebration enlivening women across an ever-growing network. By focusing on earth-centered, woman-honoring health, optimum nourishment and local plants, we weave ourselves, our families and our communities into the dynamic ever-changing spiral of life from the ground up.
Pacific Wise Women gatherings, with a foundation in the Wise Woman tradition, inspire us to deepen a connection with ourselves, with the earth and with our community.
We Recognize Women's Power Lies Within...
By seeing ourselves, growing through education, skill building, inspiration, and intuition we're weaving a
web of sisterhood that's becoming stronger everyday...
We Connect With Earth...
By observing her cycles and patterns through the seasons, celebrating the green and feeling her heartbeat in our rhythms and flow, we practice earth-centered, woman-honoring traditions...
We Enrich Our Communities...
By nourishing wholeness and honoring the sanctity of life...
...Short Story here
n 1995, EagleSong, Sally King and a group of women shared a vision for growing herbalism the wise woman way in the Pacific Northwest. They saw herbs as viable allies for ourselves, our families and our communities. From 1995-1998 women gathered 4 times on the shores of the Salish Sea to share our innate gifts of health and healing.
In 2015...
NW women gathered again. We saw ourselves, nourished ourselves and celebrated ourselves! We honored our ancestors and nature for the endless, invisible support provided for this spiral of life of which we are a part.
Women inspired, instructed, laughed, danced and cried bringing our time together to life. Such a many faceted throng of women eager to sup from the well of abundance…women coming together around ritual, study, and connection to the plant world and our innate healing capacities.
In 2020...
Women will Come to the Table for the 6th Annual Pacific Women's Herbal Conference at the shore of the Salish Sea. Here, the wisdom of crones, decades in the making, exists in a continuous spiral with daughters and grandaughters, healers all. The only inter-generational women's herb conference in the northwest corner of this continent of many names.
This year’s conference brings together a vibrant group of women eager to share their skills and wisdom. Women from many walks of life, many traditions and heritages. Herbalists, midwives, nurses, shamanic practitioners, teachers, authors, farmers, gardeners, medicine makers, all wise women continuing to gather on the shore of the Salish Sea.
