BotanicWise
Women's Herbal Gathering
September 15-17, 2023
Presenters
The BotanicWise Women’s Herbal Gathering (previously known as MidAtlantic Women’s Herbal Conference) is a place where plant wisdom can be shared and where like-minded people can connect and build a community to steward land, medicinal plants and supportive relationships with each other.
The class offerings at these events are more than informational. They touch heart and soul, awakening the intuitive mind and weave a growing network of herbalists, healers and others with a desire to learn about sustainable health and stewardship of medicinal plants.
Our Keynote Presenters

Rocío Alarcón
Dr. Rocío Alarcón, an ethno-botanist with ancestral roots in the lineages of the curanderas of the Ecuadorian Andes, is a healer for our times. She has worked tirelessly for decades to preserve indigenous cultures and land both in the Amazon and in the Andean community where she grew up, under the tutelage of master healers. She has lovingly brought many modern seekers, as well as skeptics, into the fold of the healing traditions of her ancestors, teaching especially about our relationship with the world of divine forces.

Emily Ruff
Emily Ruff is a community herbalist who has practiced the art and science of plant healing for over a decade. Her studies have taken her around three continents where she has studied under healers of many traditions.
