community herbalism in action
a free webinar on How Herbalists Can Support a Community Affected by Tragedy
LIVE EVENT RECORDING
Join us for a free event to learn Community Herbalism in Action. Everyday, communities around the country are faced with tragedy and trauma, including violent storms, school/community shootings, sexual abuse, and murder/accidental death.
These are all things that can affect an entire community (whether directly related or not) and can create widespread deep-seated fear, trauma, and grief. As herbalists, we have an array of resources that can help heal a community from the very beginning with the hope of preventing long-term issues left behind from unresolved emotions and the true source of dis-ease.
In this Webinar you will learn:
Healing Remedies for Trauma & Grief
The Impact of Flower Essences
How to Create Community Classes & Connection in the Face of Tragedy
Fostering Resiliency through Mutual Aid Work

Meet Your Teacher
Lupo Passero is no stranger to tragedy. After the impact on Sandy Hook in her hometown, Lupo set up an herbal clinic and mutual-aid support network that aided her community for years to come. Now, Lupo organizes the Appalachian Herb Collective in her current community of Asheville, North Carolina, organizing herbal hubs throughout Western North Carolina brining access and support to those in need.
Intimately connected with the plant world from an early age, Lupo Passero has studied botanical medicine from a variety of perspectives. A mother twice blessed, Lupo has a first hand passion for helping the family enjoy healthy and holistic experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, children and teenagers! Her humble beginning with herbs and flower essences as a young mother in the 90's inspired her to learn and go on to teach others. Lupo spent over a decade developing an intimate relationship to the diverse medicinal plants of the Appalachians Mountains of North Carolina, where she lived for many years and studied herbalism at the North Carolina School of Natural Healing. It was in the healing community of Asheville where Lupo began her career as an herbalist, offering classes and workshops on traditional herbalism and flower essences at various institutions (including The Appalachian School of Holistic Herbalism, The Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine and The One World Healing Institute). Her classes have since evolved to cover a variety of topics including folk herbalism, plant spirit healing, plant identification/communication, the medicine woman way, herb justice programs and a variety of spiritual and indigenous healing traditions from around the globe.

Appalachian HERB COLLECTIVE
The Appalachian Herb Collective (AHC) is an Herbal Re-leaf effort created in response to the devastation inflicted throughout our area after Hurricane Helene decimated and displaced so many. This is a grass roots effort of local Herbalists on the ground, meant to directly hep the folks affected by this catastrophic event. We have dubbed ourselves, the Appalachian Herb Collective (AHC) as we are covering as many counties in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee as possible offering Free Herbal Mutual Aid hubs.
We currently have various locations set up in Madison, Buncombe and Yancey County in North Carolina as well as Unicoi County, Tennessee and are actively working to set up even more AHC stations to support as many areas affected as possible.
