The third annual Mid-Atlantic Women’s Herbal Conference welcomes amazing teachers, talented vendors, and local women to create a special weekend honoring the age-old wisdom of herbalism and natural medicines on October 5 and 6, at a farm in Kempton, Pennsylvania. This year’s theme, Woven Roots, Strong Shoots, welcomes women to gather and build a community of healing that will strengthen them through the seasons.

More than 10 workshops on women’s health, plant medicine, gardening, yoga, drumming and plant identification walks will be offered. Teacher and herbalist Kate Gilday will speak on Saturday. Deb Soule, Robin Rose Bennett, Sarah Preston Campbell, Kerry Smith and Donna Bryant Winston will all inspire herbal imagination. The conference also features an emporium of herbal products, crafts and services.

Kempton is a half-hour west of the Lehigh Valley, just east of Hawk Mountain in Berks County. Rustic Camping is available. For more information call 610-683-9363 or visit RedEarthFarm.org/whc.
