Red Earth Herbal Gathering
This particular work of art I created, with the herb Motherwort at the center, was created for Red Earth: The Mountain West Women's Herbal Gathering. This is a really special annual gathering in Carbondale, Colorado. It is happening August 1-3rd this year. Come join me! I'll be offering henna, sitting in ceremony in the Red Tent, singing in circle, sharing stories around the fire, and dancing in community.
I met Astrid, the founder of Red Earth, many years ago when she modeled for breastfeeding henna. She writes in her newsletter:
“The theme this year for Red Earth 2025 is remembrance and our plant ally is motherwort…. We chose motherwort as our plant ally because of her ability to nourish our heart and wombs. We must remember as women the importance of accessing our deep intuition through our wombs and our mother love through our hearts to envision and create in each moment the world in which we want to create for our children.
We call motherwort into our hearts and wombs with deep breaths, trust, as we surrender into the arms of the Great Mother and remember we are held always in her love.”
