Fostering connection & belonging through herbs
Through teaching about herbs & herbalism, Yervika guides people to re-orient towards nature & our inherent belonging to the earth.
Herbalism invites a reclamation of ancestral knowledge & wisdom that connects us to our inner power and opens a pathway to collective wellbeing.
Yervika is rooted in the understanding that herbal knowledge is necessary knowledge for our collective future.

Yervika’s guides are designed as tools for self and community-based learning. These guides are meant to be a starting point to integrating herbalism into earth-care projects, which include school or community gardens, permaculture initiatives, and more.
-
Yervika offers workshops designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of, connection to, and experience with herbs & herbalism. Workshops are tailored to participants’ interests, needs, ages, and ecosystems, and typically include an introduction to herbalism as well as a deeper dive into specific herbs. Workshops are available for small and large groups, and can be requested as part of in- or after-school curriculum, teacher/staff training programs, or health & wellness retreats.
-
Yervika offers consultations to school/community garden programs, permaculture initiatives, nature-based organizations, and outdoor education programs who are interested in incorporating herbalism and herbs into their work. Consultations include (but are not limited to) developing herbalism programs, providing hands-on guidance on how to structure herbal learning, generating “herbal plans” for green spaces that includes recommendations on what herbs to plant, harvest, and work with, and more. Consultations are tailored towards addressing the needs of each community.
-
Yervika’s individual/group coaching is for people looking to bring more wellness & balance to their lives. Together, we explore how herbs can enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing through developing a more conscious relationship with nature & herbs. Coaching sessions are not herbal consultations where an herbal practitioner helps to improve a specific health-related issue through herbal medicine. Rather, Yervika’s coaching sessions are a co-exploration of how herbs can help to bring more wellness, wholeness, and balance in a person’s daily life. Coaching sessions are open to individuals and small groups.

“As we reclaim and remember more of what it is to be human, we re-member that herbalism is part of this human experience.”
