This Community Conversation Session aired live on March 24, 2026.
Thank you everyone who joined herbalists Linda Conroy and Robin Rose Bennett for this lively discussion about the philosophy and practices of the Green Witch. Focusing on plants and a spiritual connection to the earth, the Green Witch guides individuals and communities in healing practices that emphasize our innate connection to nature. During this conversation, we will discuss how Linda and Robin weave this perspective into their herbal work and are passing it on to the next generation of herbalists.
