The Wise Woman Tradition encourages us to focus on nourishing herbs common to the area in which we live, the ones that grow abundantly and are readily available.

The Wise Woman Tradition tells us that it is through the wise use of herbs, the cultivation of a wild and compassionate heart, and the acting out of simple ceremony that we heal the whole person. This ages-old approach to health is commonly referred to today as the Wise Woman Tradition. These ancient times fostered an incredibly rich, woman-centered healing tradition, as old as humans have been on the planet, and yet still very much alive in diverse cultures world-wide. I believe that these pastoral people held all beings to be sacred and deserving of respect. People honored the feminine image, the goddess, and revered her as mother, creator, nurturer and sustainer-of-all-life.

Men and women lived in harmony with their inner, cyclic natures and with the rhythms of the earth.Īrchaeological studies reveal this nature-centered time in earth's story lasted for at least 35,000 years. My interest in herbs has taken me on a journey back through time into ancient history, into an era when women's values, such as reverence, receptivity, flexibility, cooperation, health, hearth, home and family, were predominant.
