Traditional in Western Herbalism Conference

If you are anything like me, you have wanted to attend an herbal conference for a long time. I am so thrilled to share this information with you. The line up of speakers are experienced and passionate herbal livin/lovin people! Many of these people I have networked with over the past decade and am absolutely honored be with them face to face as they have all helped grow me in one form or another.
There will also be entertainment scheduled to liven the event up to more than learning.
I have pondered bringing my drum to express the enlightenment/gratitude that my spirit wants to speak, but my mouth cannot understand how to say it. Stepping outside the New Mexico fall evening to drum really seems fitting, does it not? My second most favorite place in the country! New Mexico. Aaaahhhh.

The info about the conference can be found on Kiva's blog and if you want to help get the word out, they have designed a beautiful poster for the event that can downloaded and printed. Hope to see you there;)

A message from Kiva Rose and Jesse Wold Hardin:The hostess/host of the event.

Your help is kindly requested, sharing the new trifold brochures for the conference, and making time to put up some of the matching posters. TWHC CoDirector Jesse Wolf Hardin spent nearly 20 hours designing and creating them, with his logo framed by a selection of his and my medicinal plant portraits. The background earth-tones are from his photo of volcanic cliff-rock near the Animá Sanctuary, but was picked for its ability to evoke the earthen pastel tones of the beautiful hills surrounding the Ghost Ranch conference site.

Write us to request whatever number of brochures you can put to good use, ideally handed to herbal and health related business owners who may want to participate by sponsoring, vending or practicing there, or left in small piles in herbal stores that will agree to keep them out. We can send you the files if you would like to print them off yourself, though you would need to know how to print on both sides.

The color posters come in 2 sizes, large 11×17 ones that we hope you can get store owners and health practitioners to commit to keep up in their windows or on their counter fronts from now until the event next September. We will be selling these as art posters at the event, but will also be happy to give a signed copy as a gift to you along with however many copies for you to post in your region or on your travels. The smaller version is 8.5X11, and is available either by writing us, or by downloading and then printing the linked poster file.



Ideal places for posting the large and small posters are herb stores, natural health stores, natural food stores, health practitioner waiting rooms, herbal and healing school foyers, university student union buildings, university medicine and botany building bulletin boards, and culturally conscious cafes. Please don’t feel like you have to take on a load… if a goodly amount of you could commit to posting even 5 or 10 – and to checking back to make sure they stay up and aren’t covered over – that would be a huge contribution!

That so many people want to involve themselves and help, is essential to making this conference a success and to ensure their will be others in subsequent years. It is also satisfying in itself, the connection we feel in this alliance of purpose. Thank you dearly from us both.
