What does reaching across the physical divide and making meaningful connections through technology look like? Honestly, we’re not 100% sure but we can tell you that we need your help to make it special and fun. We think that if we all show up with love and connection in our hearts' intention that we can make it happen! We’ll miss the in-person hugs - but we can still connect by sharing the experience together through keynotes and concerts, regional networking sessions, insightful panel discussions, and discussing our experiences on the new Florida Herbal Hub. So grab your favorite mug, cozy up with your sweet furry friend, and get ready to join us for the 10th Annual Florida Herbal Conference!! It’s not too late to register, click the link to join.

We welcome back Sobande Greer - creator and teacher at NCB School of Herbalism & Holistic Health, the oldest African American School of Herbalism & Natural Health in the United States and visionary founder of Sacred Waters Herbal Retreat for Women of Color and the Annual Afro Botany Immersion Conference in Costa Rica. She continues to teach the art of healing the old fashion way providing enriching and powerful classes for healing, nourishment, empowerment and support through the pandemic era.

Considering preparing and selling herbal products?

Considering preparing and selling herbal products? Designing your own attractive labels? If you stay ‘low and local’, traditional sharing and trading may allow you to stay under the radar. However, to move into a more commercial setting, such as health food stores and online retail, there is a vast array of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and label requirements that must be met and mastered if you are committed to avoiding the very expensive pitfalls of becoming ‘pen pals’ with the FTC and FDA. In this lecture we will outline definitions of marketing and labeling that is regulated by government organizations in the United States, and specific resources where a manufacturer can access compliance criteria. Ellen Kamhi PhD RN will share her expertise as an herbal formulator and regulatory consultant in the Nutraceutical Industry, so you will not be forced to say “ I did not know” - not a defense! ⠀
Last chance to sign up for Ellen’s Herbal Manufacturing- Legal Considerations class this Sunday!! Click the link in bio to register. ⠀

It's the tenth anniversary of the Sunshine State's

It's the tenth anniversary of the Sunshine State's herbal gathering - and we want to celebrate the plants and this special community with YOU! Within days of last year’s Florida Herbal Conference everything turned on its head. Had the event been but a week later, we may not have had a chance to gear up with all those herbal hugs last February. While it may not be safe or wise to gather in person this year, we couldn't pass the opportunity to connect with all of you - after all, these annual events have marked the years like a time-honored ritual that we look forward to year after year. ⠀
⠀
For a decade, we've forged friendships with humans and plants alike. We've watched children grow into adults. We've witnessed seeds planted at the conference blossom into meaningful and magical community initiatives, all across Florida and beyond⠀
So this year we’re getting creative⠀
⠀
Whether you’ve participated or you’ve heard about the event, I’m sure you can appreciate the challenge of having this event online… Join us as we find creative ways to connect through virtual platforms. Click on the link in bio to register for this year's fun, donation-based conference. ⠀

This year's virtual Florida Herbal Conference is being offered by donation.⠀
Proceeds directed to two herbal nonprofits whose work is more important than ever in the age of climate crisis, global pandemic, and a healthcare system in shambles. ⠀
Each of us needs the medicine of our herbal community right now, regardless of how well our bank account has weathered the pandemic - and the organizations working on behalf of the plants need our support to sustain their efforts now more than ever. By celebrating the tenth anniversary of our herbal community with us, you'll take home a big dose of connection and inspiration, and be in service to the plants along the way.⠀
⠀
So mark your calendar, tell your friends! February 25-27th 2021⠀
