Conference Pricing

In an effort to be accessible, we have some of the lowest registration fees for an herbal conference of this type nationwide.

Please support the DSC by giving generously with your registration contribution.

The true cost of the DSC is $150 per person. We will consider the registration amount you pay in excess of $150 help allow those who cannot pay the full cost of the conference to attend and any leftover funds will to go towards future community herbal projects.

We also offer a limited amount of worktrade which is a 4 hour labor exchange and a reduced admission of $50. If none of these options are accessible to you, please email the organizers and ask about a full scholarship.
