Herbal 1st Aid and Wellness Spaces at Events by Herbalists and Friends:

Greetings! We are a network of herbalists, wellness practitioners and caring individuals who come together to provide Herbal First Aid and Immersive Wellness Spaces at aligned events. We are dedicated to supporting people’s innate ability to heal by connecting them with the healing power of plants and embodied wellness practices. We believe in Connection. Our aim is to foster a culture of reciprocity and respect that embraces our collective interdependence, promotes wellness, and cultivates a greater sense of connection to ourselves, each other, and Nature.

We collaborate with event organizers to bring scalable and effective wellness spaces that may range from a small setup to a full herbal first aid clinic that includes wound care. We’re thrilled to show up with humble hands in service to the plants and extended communities in boosting our collective health and wellness as part of the experience!

Our services can include:

• Trained and skilled staff with herbal first aid expertise providing non-emergency basic herbal first aid as well as practitioners of other modalities.

• An herbal apothecary packed with an array of herbal medicines and supplements that are all organic and ethically sourced.

• A steady supply of our bulk herbal electrolytes blend.

• A holistic self-care, self-serve table lit up with decorative solar lights at night. This may include harm reduction info, ear plugs, sunblock, clay for poison oak/ivy, bug spray, an array of herbal spritzers and more.

• Complimentary support to the official medical tent and harm reduction teams if that’s welcomed.

• Workshops and educational materials.

• Customized provisions appropriate for each event.

The effectiveness of treating small problems and preventing big ones can’t be underestimated. We strive to provide a smoother, more enjoyable experience for event participants and take a load off the shoulders of event and medical staff.
