Twin Star Tribe
Community Herbalism, Sacred Travel + Ritual Practice
Remembering Our Medicine, Rebuilding in Community
Twin Star Tribe is a spirit-centered school of Herbalism and Energetic Arts, devoted to restoring the ancient ways of plant medicine and earth-based wisdom. We offer community classes, immersive workshops, and professional certificate programs in Herbalism, Flower Essence Therapy, Green Witch Traditions, as well as our Sacred Travel experiences.
Founded by Lupo Passero, Twin Star is guided by a community of heart-led teachers who share their wisdom through experiential, land-based education. Together, we cultivate spaces where plants, people, and place come into deeper relationship.
Twin Star Tribe is deeply rooted in community, with two beloved locations: Twin Star North, nestled in the rolling hills of Western Connecticut, and Twin Star South, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of Asheville, NC.

“In my three years at Twin Star, I have found it to be an invaluable resource for herbal knowledge, experience, and community. I have made lifelong friends out of both people and plants, and Lupo and Bekah do an amazing job of helping each individual student find their place in the craft. Twin Star made it possible for me to understand the call I've been hearing to herbalism my whole life, and I am forever grateful for it!”

Hosted by herbalist, flower essence practitioner, and educator Lupo Passero, each episode invites you to slow down, tune in, and remember your place within nature’s rhythm, through the lens of plant medicine, ritual, and ancestral remembrance.
HEATHER WRIGHT FITZGERALD, Herbalist & owner of tea & tarot
“Twin Star showed up in my life when I most needed community. After only one class, I felt like I had come home. I've spent the last 4+ years taking anything and everything I've had time for. I've learned a wealth of herbal knowledge, and been introduced to topics I would never have known without them. Lupo's style is engaging, pulling you out of the classroom and into nature so you can experience herbalism in person, firsthand whenever possible. I have genuinely loved every class I have ever taken and look forward to taking many others in the future!”
