This winter, celebrate and explore women's wellness through a holistic lens with this virtual workshop series. Join us January-March, 2026.

When women take our health into our own hands, we have ourselves to rely on and can better persist in trying times. Join us for this engaging virtual Women’s Wellness Series where we’ll learn how to discover our own voices, nourish ourselves, and partner with herbal medicine to heal ourselves and those around us. Give yourself (or someone you love) the gift of knowledge and self-care this winter! All levels of experience are welcome. Learn about:

• Skills of the Herbal Mystic with Rev. Judith Laxer

• Writing as a Healing Cauldron with Julene Tripp Weaver

• Vocal Empowerment for Women with Celia Farran

• Trees as Kin, Trees as Healers with Isla Burgess

• Stress Less Botanicals with Linda Conroy

• and more!

We encourage you to explore all workshops as this series takes a holistic approach to women's health. However, classes can be taken individually. Each three-hour session will open with a few minutes of grounding meditation. Recordings are included in the registration price and will be sent following the conclusion of the series.

All workshops in the In Our Own Hands Women's Wellness series are held virtually via Zoom and are three hours in length, happening every other Saturday beginning in January 2026.

Skills of the Herbal Mystic with Rev. Judith Laxer

Saturday, January 10, 2026 | 1pm-4pm Central Time

Every Herbal Mystic needs to develop a skill set that serves her in her relationship with all of life. Skills that deeply connect her to Nature and all Her mysteries. Learning how to create and engage in ritual, read an Oracle, communicate with the Devas of the plants in a mystical way – these skills are just as important as all the practical applications we learn and use because they help us develop and trust our intuition, one of our greatest gifts. In this class, we will explore ceremonial techniques, oracular tools for personal use, such as reading tea leaves and Tarot, and simple ways to work with dried herbs to enhance our state of being. Come to this class with: a journal and pen, elemental representations for an altar, prepare a pot of tea using loose leaves, your favorite teacup and saucer (no mugs, please), your oracle cards, a bowl of your favorite aromatic dried herb. Join us for an afternoon of delving deep into the skills of the Herbal Mystic!

Writing as a Healing Cauldron: Writing into Health, Strength, and Survival with Julene Tripp Weaver

Saturday, February 7, 2026 | 1pm-4pm Central Time

Through meditation, breath, and guided writing, we’ll explore what health means by listening to the wisdom of our bodies. Writing to body parts, symptoms, herbal allies, and caretakers, we’ll recognize them as teachers. This workshop creates a crucible where survival wisdom can crystallize. Bring a notebook and your favorite pen.

You will experience:

Writing as a way to deepen your healing process
Dialogues with body parts, symptoms, or plant allies
A pause from ordinary time to listen inward
Spontaneous timed writing that captures raw truths
A supportive space to be vulnerable, witnessed, and surprised by what emerges
Slowing down to allow what is deeper to surface

Vocal Empowerment for Women with Celia Farran

Saturday, February 21, 2026 | 1pm-4pm Central Time

Your voice is the amazing instrument that is always with you. Uncover your feminine power thru playful vocal discovery. Celia shares exercises that will leave you with a new appreciation for the often hidden and incredibly expressive part of you called your “Voice”. Expect to become more present in your throat chakra, your vocal singing/speech expression, & your entire body/energy field. Enjoy claiming ownership of your inner & outer expression whether you want to lead chants, speak more confidently, or simply rock out behind your steering wheel with the windows up (or down!).

Trees as Kin, Trees as Healers with Isla Burgess

Saturday, March 1, 2026 | 1pm-4pm Central Time

As Herbalists, looking to the trees that grow in our 'inscape' is both awe-inspiring and insightful. This workshop will cover a few of those trees that have a healing relationship with us. We begin with how to create the connection and then to Plant Profiles with a difference that provide us with a more 'Holistic' view of each tree.
