Cultivating Your Inner Light: How Personal Growth Fuels Community Wellness
A Talk by Helen Ward (Herbalist & Educator, Three Springs Farm of Vermont)
About this Talk
Our personal healing and collective well-being are deeply connected. In this session, Helen Ward—herbalist, teacher, and longtime steward of plant wisdom—guides participants to explore how tending our own inner light allows us to show up more fully for community care.
Through storytelling, reflection, and simple daily practices, Helen helps us recognize how unpacking our own “box” of trauma and embracing self-care can transform not only ourselves but also the world around us. Together, we’ll explore how connection—within ourselves, with community, and with the plants that guide us—becomes a pathway toward resilience, balance, and transformation.
