Herbstalk is a community conference and herbal gathering that has been bringing together participants from across New England since 2012. Our urban events host accessible classes on herbal and holistic health topics, medicine making, ecological gardening, plant identification, environmental awareness, and social justice topics. Our lively marketplace showcases handmade goods made by local herbalists, artisans, farmers and small businesses. Our BIPOC led space highlights the knowledge and wisdom of BIPOC teachers, artists and healers.

Land Acknowledgement
Herbstalk gathers on the ancestral lands of the Pawtucket and Massachusett tribal nations. We also acknowledge all Nations and peoples of the Dawnland region, otherwise known as New England, including Abenaki, Micmac, Maliseet, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Pawtucket, Pennacook, Penobscot, Pequot, Wampanoag, and those we have omitted due to colonial erasure or ignorance.
We extend our deepest respect to the ancestors and citizens of these Nations, as we acknowledge the abuses and displacement which Native people have suffered for centuries. The Herbstalk community recognizes that land acknowledgements are only one step towards creating truth and accountability. We commit to working towards healing & reconciliation, and to developing a deeper relationship with the lands we live upon, its history, and its people.
