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.

Re-orient

Herbalism is a re-orientation towards nature, leading us to an embodied understanding that we are part of nature, not separate from it.
Re-connect

When we re-connect with nature, we get back a part of ourselves that has been lost because of systems of oppression, exploitation, and domination. A door opens up, inviting us to experience belonging to a great whole.
Re-learn

In these times of profound change, the earth is asking us to re-member & re-learn the ancestral language of herbs.
Re-claim

This process leads us towards re-claiming our power, understanding our relationship towards land, and finding our purpose; it leads us back home.
