We are excited to have Denise of at this years symposium to teach on plant medicine for hormonal health. 🌷

“Balancing hormones” has become a catch all term for any kind of cycle related issue. But what this conversation tends to lack is an understanding of what balanced hormones means. What hormones are out of balance and why? In this class, we’ll talk about the foundational knowledge of what balanced hormones means and how to support our hormones with herbalism. For not only our menstrual health but our overall health too.

Join us for the 3rd Annual Western Mass Herbal Symposium on May 9th, 2026 at the beautiful Montague Retreat Center in Montague, MA.

We are so happy to welcome back for another wonderful plant walk!

Participants will be guided on an immersive plant walk focused on cultivating deep relationship with the medicinal and edible plants of Western Massachusetts. The walk will blend practical plant identification with herbal uses, seasonal awareness, and ethical wildcrafting practices. Emphasis will be placed on slowing down, engaging the senses, and learning to read the landscape as a living ecosystem rather than a collection of isolated species. Participants will explore traditional and contemporary herbal applications, plant energetics, and how plants support both physical and emotional well-being. This walk is suitable for beginners and experienced herbalists alike who wish to deepen their connection with plants through observation, presence, and respect.

We are thrilled to have with us to teach on Pain Management with Plant Medicines.

The study of herbalism gives us many tools to work with both acute and chronic pain, from gentle daily nourishment to powerful medicines in moments of crisis. This introductory workshop offers an overview of the myriad gifts our plant allies have to offer when dealing with the physical, mental, and emotional impact of pain, and offers a holistic lens on the ways we can tend our various bodily systems through discomfort. We will explore what plant medicine has to offer when used internally, topically, and on the energetic/spiritual level as well.

We are thrilled to have Alex Klein at this years symposium to lead people on a plant and tree walk 🌲🌳🌴

Are you ever out on a killer plant walk but then in the back of your mind you can’t help but ask, “What about the trees?” Or was it that you were on a tree walk and you were like, “But what’s all this frilly green stuff flopping around on the ground?” Don’t fret—you’ll be getting a little bit of everything with this walk: edible plants (and trees) and medicinal trees (and plants), as well as some discussion of local natural history and ecology.
