A Community Conversation with veteran Community/Village Herbalist, Linda Conroy, MSS, MLSP, and Barbara Bitondo whose career has been dedicated to knowledge acquisition & transfer.
A rich and inspiring exchange that highlights the journey that Linda has taken to find her expression as a community/village herbalist. Linda has a passion for holding space, communicating and providing resources for learning about flora, fauna, and funga, personal growth, the natural world and so much more! In this conversation, we hear stories of how Linda's academic training in the fields of social work and law and social policy, as well as community health/organizing led to the unique offerings she has developed today.
This conversation inspires both aspiring herbalists as well as seasoned herbalists to follow or find their unique expression through the art of herbalism.
