“Monumental! Going to Plant Healer events is like coming home to a place that you didn't even realize you were nostalgic for!”
–Thomas Easley
ROOTS & RETURN
Return with us now to New Mexico’s fabled Ghost Ranch, a wild and remote educational center excitedly alive with the flora, the fauna, and the communicative spirits of the incomparably enchanted Southwest…
-
…in the original location where Kiva Rosethorn & Jesse Wolf Hardin first launched these Plant Healer gatherings way back in 2008! Immerse yourself in the brilliant hue and colors of this historic venue, a sacred gathering place for the first nations people and then a refuge and workplace for the eccentric artists and culture-shifting writers who followed. Perhaps you can already imagine the songs of its canyon winds and resident birds, and hear the plaintive yips and howls of the coyotes at sundown –– calling you home to your wilder self and purpose.

“The Confluence is intimate, inspiring, and path-affirming, and a growth experience for me as I gather with so many wonderful humans, learn so many a things, and return home fueled for more. I am thankful for this unique space embracing all of us hippie, anarchist, neurodivergent, introverted, extraverted, fairy, alchemist, etcetera-spirited beings – the keepers of tradition and of community. The world wouldn't be the same without this important work.”
–Jessicka Nebesni

“This isn’t a conference, but a gathering of a tribe, all who bring a unique and varied perspective that contributes to the whole energy. Just as a single herb cannot be defined by a single constituent, each person that comes to the Good Medicine Confluence lends a special role that makes for a stronger synergy. Herbalists, students of herbal medicine, plant lovers, land stewards, and simply those with an intellectual curiosity converge and share ideas, inspiration, beauty, and knowledge. I came home with a wealth of knowledge I’m already applying in my practice, grateful for the amazing experience!”
–Holly Dunbar (New Moon Bodywork & Botanicals)
ELATION, CELEBRATION & DANCE
Elation is an important element of your Good Medicine story –– with music and dance, costumery and frivolity, laughter and delight being essential to its restorative formula….
-
…as you enjoy Plant Healer Playshops where you get your hands into the actual making of botanical cocktails and brews, into creating botanical artwork and personally tasting specially composed herbal teas.
Then be both recharged and rewarded with global tribal beats and dance floor celebration, dressing up in your most personally expressive clothes and fantasy costumes for the annual Plants & Faeries Masquerade Ball.
It’s your moment, it’s your day –– so revel, revel, we say!
“The Good Medicine Confluence is an herbal community like none other. While the classes and play-shops are amazing, the real reason to go is to make connections and find your tribe. This is the place to team up with fellow agents of change to create a better version of our world, a righteous good time with a hearty tribal stomping! To be in the company of fellow wildlings where you are not only accepted, but fully appreciated for what you bring to the table. Being surrounded by magical healers from various paths, it is the ultimate muggle-free community gathering. It is a welcome sanctuary to all the radicals, outcasts, conformity shakers, and out of the box thinkers, a collection of offbeat change makers that evoke heart warming affirmation and validation for who you are while fostering growth in personal evolution. It holds the sweetest reminder that we are not alone. We walk this path with others who share a mutual vision. I’ve attended numerous herbal conferences, and there is none other that compares to this one. So click your heels together three times and say “there’s no place like home”. That’s exactly what it feels like.”
–Heather Luna (Acorn School of Herbal Medicine)
ROOT, GROW, & BLOSSOM
Together we’re doing the vital work of becoming our most authentic selves, heeding our calling, following our hearts, and allying with the plants –– equipping and empowering ourselves to do the good work even in the darkest times…
-
…the work of not only healing bodies, but of helping to shift the culture from one of unhealthy acrimony, imbalance and dis-ease to one of wholeness and balance, relationship and responsibility, caring purpose and meaningful roles. Shifted in the process, is ourselves –– from helplessness or meaninglessness to deepened understandings, real-world manifestation, healing results, personal fulfillment and an unstoppable joy!
“The Good Medicine Confluence surprised and delighted me! It was refreshing to meet so many ardent students of the plant path. While there were many highly skilled herbalists in attendance, I was most struck by the spirit of love and cooperation towards a common way of being. All of the attendees I met had that "vital spark" which seems to generate alchemical and lasting change. The unique blend of technical and mythological classes made the Confluence the perfect gathering for all the unboxable individuals that I am proud to identify with. If you are looking for folks who are learning from the book of life and doing real work in the world, I highly recommend coming!”
–Jason Brazil (Mother’s Blessing Apothecary)
