Medicine from the Hearth: Herbs, Spices & the Sacred Work of Care

The kitchen is more than a place to prepare food—it is the hearth, the sanctuary, where herbs and spices carry the wisdom of our ancestors into daily life. In this session, Kami McBride—author of The Herbal Kitchen and longtime herbal educator—shares how your spice rack is a living library of healing traditions from around the world. Through stories and guidance, she invites us to reawaken the herbal hearth as a place of cultural transformation, where food, plants, and care become medicine for body and spirit. Together we’ll explore how to deepen our relationship with herbs, honor ancestral knowledge, and pass forward an herbal kitchen culture rooted in love for the Earth.
