Hi I’m Alexandra from Mindful Wilderness and Vulgaris Herbs ! I began my herbalism journey 10 years ago, inspired by my grandmother and the wise women in my Romanian heritage. For the last 8 years I have been teaching workshops on herbal medicine, nature connection and wilderness skills. I offer workshops at our shop in Sugar Loaf, NY, Vulgaris Herbs, local organizations and farms in the lower Hudson Valley with the intention to create and support our connection to local communities and plants.

I work with herbs in ways that encourage us to:

• Engage with the synergies of the whole plant and its constituents
• Make gentle, nourishing remedies that uniquely support each individual
• Create a purposeful and responsible relationship with plants that fosters curiosity, kindness and simplicity
• Build confidence and competence for the at-home herbalist; empowering each student to bring herbalism into their home through hands-on experience
• Keep herbalism accessible to everyone
