2026 CONFLUENCE CLASS TOPICS

These Plant Healer events are constantly evolving, the range of class topics expanding  and diversifying beyond bodily healing to creating purposed, pleasurable, and fulfilling lives.... such as: assessments, home medicine making, perfumery, cannabis, entheogens, teas, botanical cocktails, treating trauma and ptsd, home medicine making, wondrous cooking, healthy lifestyle, mythos and storytelling, adornment and celebration.  

With multiple simultaneous classes and activities in each of the many time slots, you  will likely want to make a list prior to the Confluence of those which will best inspire,  inform, excite, stretch, and propel you on your personal path. 

A pdf of detailed class descriptions will be updated every month or so, so you may want to periodically re-download them:
