Hey Clarksville & surrounding spaces!

You are warmly invited to spend a beautiful and transformative day with Master Herbalist Queen Mother Iya Angeliqe "Sobande" Greer, founder of the NCB School of Herbalism & Holistic Health, fifth-generation herbalist, ancestral wellness educator, and keeper of traditional plant wisdom for more than 35 years.

This intimate, hands-on immersion invites you into sacred community to explore the healing partnership between humans and plants through the energetic, medicinal, and ancestral teachings of Rue, Raspberry, and twenty-three of their botanical cousins.

Together, we will study some of my most beloved plant allies & herbs long revered for their abilities to protect, nourish, restore, and guide us back into relationship with the natural world.

Rue & Raspberry is more than a workshop, Rue & Raspberry is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember. We will learn, create, laugh, and make medicine together in the company of celestial plant beings that conspire to heal in our favor!

What calls you to herbalism?

✨For Seraphina Capranos (@seraphina.capranos), it was losing her ‘first patient’ when she was 20: her own father.

✨For Amish Shah (@thenobleking108), it was a health collapse after making close to $70 million in business.

✨For Iya Sobande Greer (@iamsobandeg), it was five generations of women with their hands in the dirt.

✨For Veladya Chapman (@theonlyveladya), it was a search for deeper meaning after walking away from Broadway at 22.

Swipe to hear each of them tell it in their own words.

Seraphina Capranos and Iya Sobande Greer are speaking live at the FREE Herbal Medicine Making Summit, which began today Oct 14 at 10am PT. Registration will also unlock all the sessions from last year for a limited time, including the full versions of the stories in this post.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, best friend, road partner, confidant, and soul mate. ❤️

Cliff Aaron Greer we have shared enough life together to know that real love is more than romance. It is choosing each other through every season raising our family, loving our children and grandbabies, building dreams, traveling, praying, laughing, getting on each other’s nerves, working it out, and continuing to grow together.

For your birthday, I simply pray for MORE! More steady healthy years, more laughter (you know how we enjoy the laughter), more adventures, more passport stamps, more hugs, more peace, and more beautiful memories together with our families.

If I had to choose all over again, I would still choose you first as a friend because our friendship has been the most rewarding piece of our relationship and the key to a truly successful relationship.

Happy Birthday, my love. May your Ori guide you, the Ancestors walk with you, and may GOD continue to order your footsteps. May you always know how deeply you are loved.

Loving you still. ❤️ by @iamsobandeg

All around the world, people are working to regenerate degraded ecosystems. And at the same time, many of us are remembering how plants can help us care for and restore our own bodies.

The potential for healing, both personal and planetary, is enormous. And some of our greatest teachers have been here all along: the plants themselves.

This October, we’re gathering 34 herbalists, medicine makers, clinicians, and teachers who have spent their lives learning from them.

Join us October 14–16 for the FREE online Herbal Medicine Making Summit, with three days of practical, inspiring sessions to bring more herbal medicine into your hands and home.

🌿 Learn what to grow at home with Chris Outdoors (@wildmuskoka)
🌿 Make herbal syrups with accessible ingredients with the Seed Sistas (@seed_sistas)
🌿 Explore a gentler approach to herbs with Asia Suler (@asiasuler)
🌿 Learn alongside Pedram Shojai (@drpedramshojai), Sheleana Aiyana (@sheleanaaiyana, @risingwoman), Seraphina Capranos (@seraphina.capranos), Dr. Jacqui Wilkins, ND (@among_the_wildflowerss), Cait Woolery (@caitlin_woolery_ccmh), Sobande Greer (@iamsobandeg), Tara Lanich-LaBrie (@themedicinecircle), Darin Olien (@darinolien), and Tarun Nayar (@modernbiology101)
🌿 Unlock access to all 24 sessions from last year’s summit including teachings from Mark Hyman (@drmarkhyman), Zach Bush (@zachbushmd), Louie Schwartzberg (@movingartchannel), Adriana Ayales (@adrianaayales) and more

Come learn from the plants and the people who have devoted their lives to working with them. 🌱

This is the moment, where you step out of the ordinary and embrace your strengths, acknowledge your courage and tap into your ancestral wisdom, as you step into your personal legacy.
The Legacy Series is a singular experience drawn from the wealth of ancestral knowledge in my 11 books. Sticks, Stones, Roots, and Bones was written as a love letter to my people. The Legacy Series: Seasonal Rootwork is another passion project designed to nourish your holistic wellness. It extends the spirit of love, and cultivates self acceptance, all with many touches of powerful Hoodoo Magick. What’s more we work in accord with the seasons. Are you ready for Seasonal Rootwork? Sign up for the Legacy Series today. Links are in my bio or visit naturalchoicesbotanica.com Events.
