Rooted Medicine Circle recognizes that, for those living on colonized lands, the traditions and practices of nature connection and herbalism are built upon the stolen land, knowledge, and/or labor of Indigenous and Black peoples.
The two leaders of Rooted Medicine Circle also acknowledge the economic and social privileges we carry as a white person and white-assumed mixed-race person.
We are committed to the ongoing work of dismantling systems of white supremacy, building meaningful relationships, and practicing reparations.
As part of this, we are offering 20 reparations spots to people who identify as Black and/or Indigenous.
While it is not possible to “repay” what was stolen or erase historical and present-day harm, we offer this as one small step towards justice, equity, and healing.
Who is eligible?
People who identify as Black and/or Indigenous and who have not previously enrolled in Rooted Medicine Circle are welcome to apply.
What does it cover?
This covers the full tuition for Rooted Medicine Circle, which includes the course website, written materials, live sessions, and recordings.
All students in Rooted Medicine Circle supply their own herbs, ingredients, and basic kitchen tools. It is our goal to keep extra costs low, and to provide substitution recommendations as needed.
