Vancouver Island Herb Gathering

“The Vancouver Island Herb Gathering is a place where we come together to celebrate plants & people.

Nestled in a beautiful herb farm, in the heart of the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC herbal teachers, students & plant lovers from across North America get together every 2 years.

We celebrate, we laugh, we learn & we meditate with plant medicine as our focus, & community as our backbone.

It is our belief that plant medicine is people’s medicine, so it is with this intention that ht space is prepared for a weekend of herbalist & plant medicine.

Each time we get together the awareness strengthens, the community build & the movement grows. “

This year I will be joining the Canadian Herb Conference as one of the Teachers & Presenters. My Workshops are:

  1. Enchanted Flora: Exploring the Supernatural Plants & Folklore of Vancouver Island. - An Overview of the concept of supernatural plants & their significance in folklore, legend & mythology. Discussion of the cultural & historical context of supernatural plant lore on Vancouver Island, & an introductions to key supernatural plants found on Vancouver Island & their associated folklore.

  2. 2. Culinary Alchemy - Introduction to Superfoods & Culinary Herbs. We will define superfoods & culinary herbs, discuss their nutritional benefits, & healing properties. Explore the concept of using food as medicine for holistic wellness & beauty.

Tickets can be purchased for single days or the entire weekend, as well as camping passes & meals through the following link:

Autoimmunity & Emotions

Autoimmunity & Emotions

Autoimmunity & Emotions Hosted by: David Gilks

“I am having a conversation around the topic of Autoimmunity & Emotions as there is a strong connection between the two, though there is much more complexity than that to be sure.

The reason for looking at the emotional connection is that it is well documented that the suppression of emotions disrupts immune function & drives pro-inflammatory processes in the body. Imagine if we could, with surgical precision, alter the deep-seated emotional blockages, & begin to help the body heal? I think there is an important triad of possibilities to put together, from removing the blockages to helping the body heal by supporting the reduction of the inflammation & then creating a series of simple but daily rituals to ensure that this does not happen again.

Autoimmune diseases are idiopathic, which means of unknown origin. I am not suggesting that there will be a simple solution for all disorders like these, but unless we start looking at our wellness & disease process as a bio-psycho-social problem, we will never find a solution.”

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
