Earth Allies Rise Up Summit
October 26-31, 2025
You're Invited...
We’re inviting teachers, herbalists, activists, song-carriers, storytellers, and earth-lovers to join us in co-creating this circle of learning, healing, and mutual aid.
This online summit will explore the fertile intersections of herbalism, community care, ancestral wisdom, and collective healing. Together, we’ll gather a chorus of voices—offering teachings that restore connection and nourish a sense of shared purpose in these changing times.
Whether you hold plant knowledge passed down through generations or you’re building a new model of community care, your voice belongs in this gathering.

Contribution Model
This event is rooted in the gift economy. While The Earth Allies Rise Up Summit will be free to attend during the live airing, replays will be donation based.
Presenters may choose to:
- Offer their time as a gift to the community
- Direct proceeds from their session to a nonprofit of their choice
- Request compensation, if needed
All proceeds from the recording sales will be distributed to presenter-selected nonprofits or the BotanicWise Scholarship Fund—a program that has already awarded nearly $100,000 in support of herbal education.
Choose Your Time Commitment
We understand that each person’s capacity is different—and we want to make it easy for you to share in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.
You can choose between:
🌿 A 20-minute session – perfect for keynotes, focused teachings, storytelling, short rituals, songs, or demonstrations
🌿 A 60-minute session – ideal for workshops, deeper dives, or guided experiences
🌿 Optional live engagement in mixers and chats
