Medicine Of The People: TWHC No More!

The “cat’s out of the bag”… the much beloved Traditions In Western Herbalism Conference is now Medicine Of The People The Folk Herbal Resurgence …a name we believe does a better job of evoking the wild spirit and populist mission, incorrigible attitude and inimitable character of this one-of-a-kind event, coinciding with our move from Ghost Ranch to Mormon lake in the lush green Coconino Forest of Northern Arizona.  The umbrella website and community will be HerbalResurgence.org, with Medicine Of The People becoming the permanent name of our annual conference and celebration.  The TWH website will still be active as we gradually make all the changes. Another factor in the change, was how many people were having trouble either remembering or...

Traditions In Western Herbalism Conference has always been about the Medicine Of The People, offering a home for the edge dwellers of herbalism, independents and outliers, but no less so an intended home to the professional and the accredited.  We share with the AHG a dedication to the protection and furtherance of herbalism, and applaud the Guild’s emphasis on continuing to evolve and become ever more representational, attracting new people...
