From Marybeth Wolf and Amy Chavez: Amy Chavez and I are excited to offer monthly herbal exploration and self- care workshops for the women in our community, our lives. We want to keep the workshops small, hands-on, experiential, and connected.... gathering a wise woman herbal community here in Yellow Springs.

Amy and I are both passionate about the plant world and want to share what we've been practicing in our lives, with our families and friends. We have both been on this path for many years and studied with our beloved teacher, Rosemary Gladstar. She encourages us to bring healthcare back to our homes and communities.
