Programs & Services

From trade to cultivation to research, every program we run serves our mission of making plant-based healing more accessible and understood.

Trade

Medicinal Herb & Fungi Trade

We facilitate the ethical trade of medicinal herbs and fungi — connecting conscious growers with healers, practitioners, and community members who need access to quality plant medicines. Every trade relationship we build is grounded in transparency, fair exchange, and deep respect for the plant.

  • Vetted sourcing from ethical and sustainable growers
  • Dried herbs, tinctures, and whole fungi
  • Support for small and independent herbal producers
  • Educational materials accompanying each product
  • Seasonal availability and harvest calendars

Cultivation

Cultivation Programs

Growing your own medicine is one of the most empowering things you can do. Our cultivation programs teach the science and practice of growing medicinal herbs and fungi — from backyard gardens to community plots — with instruction grounded in both traditional knowledge and modern methods.

  • Introductory workshops for home growers
  • Advanced cultivation intensives for medicinal herbs
  • Mushroom and fungi cultivation (substrate prep, inoculation, harvest)
  • Seed saving and propagation techniques
  • Community growing plots and shared resources

Research

Research & Integration

Plant-based healing has thousands of years of evidence behind it — but integrating it into western healthcare requires a shared language of research and clinical evidence. We support and disseminate the science that builds that bridge, making it accessible to practitioners, patients, and the public.

  • Curated research library on medicinal herbs and fungi
  • Partnerships with academic and clinical researchers
  • Public forums and practitioner roundtables
  • Educational resources for healthcare providers
  • Funding support for community-based research projects

Community

Community Building

Healing is relational. Our community programs bring together growers, herbalists, curious beginners, healers, and researchers in shared spaces — both physical and virtual — where knowledge moves freely and people support each other's growth.

  • Monthly community gatherings and plant walks
  • Herbal medicine making circles
  • Peer learning and mentorship networks
  • Youth and family plant education events
  • Online community resources and discussion spaces

The cultivation workshop completely changed how I think about health. Growing my own ashwagandha and lion's mane isn't just practical — it reconnected me to something I didn't know I was missing.

Common Questions

Do I need prior experience to join a cultivation workshop?

Not at all. Our introductory workshops are designed for complete beginners — all you need is curiosity and a willingness to get your hands in the soil. We also offer advanced sessions for experienced growers looking to deepen their practice.

Are your programs free to attend?

Many of our community events and educational resources are free. Some workshops and programs have a modest fee to cover materials and instructor support. We are committed to keeping cost from being a barrier — sliding scale and scholarship options are available. Reach out if you need support.

I'm a healthcare provider — how do I engage with your research work?

We welcome collaboration with practitioners at every level. Our Research & Integration program hosts regular forums and roundtables specifically for healthcare providers, and we can connect you with researchers working at the intersection of plant medicine and clinical practice.
