Midwest Women's Herbal Mission Statement

Midwest Women’s Herbal provides herbal education and opportunities for transformation. Immersed in the Wise Woman Tradition, grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters, and children gather in a co-created village. Through earth-centered healing and nourishment we ally with the plants that grow around us. From the ground up we connect to weave ourselves, our families, and our communities into the dynamic spiral of health.

Midwest Women's Herbal Vision Statement

We live in a world where the feminine is honored and respected; where women stand fully in their power, acknowledging their wisdom, skills and innate healing abilities.

It takes a village….Here are the talented, dedicated women who are already working behind the scenes to weave the container, holding the possibilities for your conference experience. Now we just need YOU! With your sisters and friends co-creating the weekend, anything is possible! Learn More About Midwest Women's Herbal's Rich Herstory

Maria \| MWH Coordinator Maria is an integrative healer and a self-love warrior with a deep and diverse background in both the culinary and healing arts. As a teacher, biodynamic craniosacral therapist, business owner, herbalist, and spiritual writer it has been her path throughout her many lifetimes to guide others.

Katherine \| MWH Coordinator I am beginning the search for my path in the plant world in my garden and kitchen. I deeply believe in nutritional herbalism and its power to assist the body and incorporating it into my daily meal routines. I am beyond excited and grateful to be a part of MWH and learn from many of the authors of the resources that have guided me these past few years and continue to shape my plant path.	Grassflower \| MWH Coordinator I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 7. I am also a retired Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified in Homeopathy. I love the plant and fungus world and being at the Midwest Herbal Women’s Conference communing with them.
