Welcome to the Opening Ceremony! It’s with deep gratitude for our sponsors and their dedication that this conference is presented free for the public – thank you Mountain Rose Herbs, Herbal Academy, Traditional Medicinals, The Herbarium, Berkeley Herbal Center, International Herbal Medicine Continuing Education, and Herbal Entrepreneur Conference for your generosity and support.

The 2026 Virtual Herbalism Conference is a gathering devoted to this year’s conference theme, Wholeness – of plants, people, and the pursuit of knowledge that connects us all. Join Conference Visionary Amber Meyers and Host Lindsey Feldpausch as they welcome you into the circle, provide orientation to the conference space and week, and share reflections on what it means to practice wholeness through herbalism and the plants. 

We’ll also hear from special guest voices including Rosemary Gladstar, Dr. Jacqui Wilkins, Selima Harleston Lust, Guido Masé, and more, as we set the tone for a week rooted in herbalism and connection. Bring yourself as you are, a cup of herbal tea to keep you company, and an open heart and mind, ready to listen, share, and gather in the live chat as we begin this journey together.

Join us for the live ceremony to receive a special gift of our Wholehearted Tea Recipe, developed just for this opening ceremony. This incredible blend of herbs is a tea that serves as a symbol of the wholeness we are cultivating together.

Together we grow, together we become whole. We’re so glad you’re here.
