More Than an Herbal Conference | Good Medicine Confluence 2026
The Good Medicine Confluence returns October 12–15, 2026, at the breathtaking Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. In this special episode, I'm joined by cofounder Jesse Wolf Hardin to explore what makes this gathering so much more than an ordinary herbal conference. Now in its 18th year, the Confluence brings together herbalists, healers, teachers, makers and plant lovers from around the world. This year's gathering features more than 120 classes led by 50 teachers, along with plant walks, a tea tent, botanical meads, a healers market and the Plants & Fairies Masquerade Ball. Jesse also shares the history of the gathering, why its name has evolved over the years and the deeper meaning of "good medicine"—not simply something we carry in bottles or pouches, but something we embody through our lives and work. We're also giving away four free tickets! One grand-prize winner will receive a free year of HerbRally Schoolhouse and a HerbRally dandelion hoodie. Please enter only if there's a good chance you can attend the gathering in New Mexico. We hope you can make it! ~Mason 🌿 ENTER TO WIN FREE TICKETS 🎟️ LEARN MORE & REGISTER Use code HERBRALLY26 to save 25% on registration. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

HerbRally listeners save 25% on tickets to the 2026 Good Medicine Confluence (October 12–15 at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico) with discount code HERBRALLY26. LEARN MORE & REGISTER In this episode of The Plant Healer's Path, Jesse Wolf Hardin explores the transformative power of living at the edges. From the sacred, liminal spaces of traditional hedgerows to the outer boundaries of mainstream culture, the edge is where old assumptions dissolve, new possibilities emerge, and meaningful change begins. Jesse reflects on herbalists as edge dwellers, culture shifters, and keepers of traditions increasingly pushed outside conventional healthcare. It's an invitation to embrace the wild, unconventional spirit of plant medicine, plant our insurgent roots, and find purpose, connection, and possibility beyond the accepted center. This audio was extracted from the video version available on the HerbRally YouTube channel. Jesse Wolf Hardin is an impactful author, ecosopher, ecological restorationist, personal counsel, graphic artist, musician, and historian on a mission –– a champion of diversity and what he coined "ReWilding," as well as an impassioned proponent of nature's medicines. Wolf co-founded with Kiva Rose both the international Good Medicine Confluence gathering and Plant Healer Quarterly magazine, and is the author of over 25 books on herbalism, nature connection, and personal realization.

Rewilding Herbalism: Animism, Ecology & Belonging | Howl Aza & Wolf Hardin
HerbRally listeners save 25% on tickets to the 2026 Good Medicine Confluence (October 12–15 at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico) with discount code HERBRALLY26. LEARN MORE & REGISTER Welcome to another episode of The Plant Healer's Path. In this episode, Jesse Wolf Hardin sits down with Gulf Coast cunningman Howl Aza for a wide-ranging conversation about animism, rewilding, bioregionalism, herbalism, and what it means to truly belong to a place. Together, they explore an approach to healing that extends far beyond the individual. Howl shares his perspective on the self as something shaped by the totality of our relationships—with our bodies, families, communities, plants, animals, landscapes, and the other beings with whom we share our lives. They also discuss what an herbalism informed by animism and deep ecology might look like, including the importance of local plants, reciprocity, tending relationships with place, and considering the entire life cycle of the medicines we make and use. Throughout the conversation, Howl and Wolf reflect on wildness, responsibility, discomfort, presence, and those powerful moments when we realize that we aren't simply visitors to the natural world—we belong within it. Whether you're an herbalist, naturalist, animist, rewilding enthusiast, or simply interested in cultivating a deeper relationship with the living world, this conversation offers plenty to contemplate. If you'd like to learn from Howl and Jesse Wolf Hardin in person, join them at the 2026 Good Medicine Confluence.

Herbalism Hot Takes with Lila Swanberg
In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I had the pleasure of hanging out with clinical herbalist Lila Swanberg. Our conversation covers everything from why she thinks natural healing has "gone soft" to herbal dosing, clinical experience, misinformation, and what it means to practice herbalism with curiosity and integrity. Lila has a knack for challenging conventional wisdom, and I always appreciate hearing her perspective—even when it pushes back against the status quo. We also talk about ashwagandha, herbal education, creating the resources you wish existed, and some of the biggest opportunities and challenges facing the herbal community today. Whether you find yourself nodding along or questioning your own assumptions, I think you'll come away with something to think about.
