Why did I make the Wild Card Series? It was years in the making, pondering society’s disconnectedness, my longing for playing more games with friends, and also my desire to learn more about nature around us. I wanted to combine the two to help myself and others learn to connect with nature in a different way. I spent hours researching and thinking, found my dream artist who hopped on the idea, then I found an incredibly knowledgeable herbalist to double-check my research work and give input on how to make the remedy and nutrient details as accurate and useful as possible. This project brought so much joy, and it makes my heart happy hearing people’s impressions and knowing that it made even one more person smile, or laugh with their family or friends. With love, Johanna 💜 #ForageFolk #ForagingCards #NatureConnection #FamilyGameNight #Herbalism Wild Card Series Forage Folk

Next week I’m heading north to @conscious.growth , to teach Herbal First Aid + Mutual Community Care. Then to also work alongside the medic team, with some of my herbal students, offering herbal first aid and wellness 🌿 These wellness spaces offer so much than just immediate acute care. They offer a space to slow down, to ask questions, to receive transparent and consensual care, and to learn about plants + herbalism. Will you be joining?✨
 To the plants, to the helpers, to the ones who show up. We are each other’s medicine, too. If you’re coming, come find me! In the workshop, at the first aid tent, or just to say hi. 🤎

After Oshala Farm’s devastating fire the community has helped raise almost $275K! This is wonderful! As many of you know, rebuilding multiple structures is going to cost 10x that amount, and we will continue to help raise funds for a complete rebuild. Join beloved Oshala Herb Camp teachers for a four day fundraiser to reach these goals. These inspiring virtual classes explore herbal medicine, botanical traditions, medicine making, ethical wildcrafting, ancestral plant wisdom, and more. All classes are recorded and all donors will have access to the recorded classes for one year. 100% of donations will go directly to Oshala Farm. We suggest donating $75-$250 per day for classes. Any donation amount will have access to the recorded classes. ;) (If you have already donated, you are welcome to join all classes - the link is sent out via GoFundMe Updates) Thank you for your support! Let’s keep doing this! Link to donate in profile and stories. Thank you to all the teachers that are generously donating their time and wisdom! Xoxo

Saint John’s Wort season is upon us, and I’m not the only one who gets excited about it! Friends who know how much I love this incredible plant have been sending me all kinds of wonderful Saint John’s Wort content this summer, but this video from @_wildkin really struck a chord and got my inspiration flowing. She captured the magic of this plant so beautifully that I wanted to put my own spin on it by sharing how we harvest fresh Saint John’s Wort @beherefarm and capture it in biodynamic olive oil through a solar infusion process…something you can try yourself at home! Thank you @_wildkin for the sweet post and inspiration! #Herbalism #herbalist #summersolstice #skincare #selfcare

What an honor it was to spend 4 days in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains with my cohort at @berkeleyherbalcenter 💚 I’m so lucky that I get to not only learn about plant allies deeply in the classroom, but also meet them where they grow and take in the broader context of what it means to be in relationship to the land and to the world around me… it’s so special. I have so much to learn, but I’m starting to understand what it means to live in reciprocity with the land and all its inhabitants, including the ones we call “inanimate” (the soil, the water, the sky, the mountains). To understand myself as a part of the picture of “nature”, not as separate from it or as a visitor to it. We are all animals belonging to this Earth. What a blessing!

I was excited to learn about this book so I ordered it immediately. Today it finally arrived and I was pleasantly surprised when the very first page that I opened to is a contribution from a piece that my herbal comrades & I collaborated on! Thankful for all the generations of grassroots herbalists, medics & medicine people who continue to draw upon plant medicines 🌿as a tool for resistance to oppression & towards our collective healing & liberation. 💫💚 I’m excited to dive into this timely book by Solidarity Apothecary.📕

Had a grand old time at @oshalafarm Herb Camp in the Applegate Valley of Oregon this year, reacquainting with friends from last year and making new ones. And @berkeleyherbalcenter showed up strong for the wellness tent tended by the incomparable @_wildkin , classes taught by @ashtheherbalist and songs sung both on stage and in the fields (stellar talent show backup singer @smallgardencannabis did it all in a boot on an injured foot). Smiles all around and endless gratitude for Elise and Jeff, owners at Oshala, for such a magical experience once again. 💚 #oshalaherbcamp #oshalafarm
