In episode 6, Herbalists Without Borders chats with Leah Wolf of the Trillium Center about radical herbalism.

Leah Wolfe, Trillium Center
Leah Wolfe, MPH, is a full-time herbalist living on a farm in NE Ohio. She has a background in public health research and health education but has a penchant for the unexplainable. The Trillium Center, an educational project, emerged during the depths of winter 2012 when the thinning veil allowed her to see her path as a teacher alongside the great lake of Erie. The Trillium Center is run out of BLD farm, a small homesteading farm where she teaches people how to identify, process, and use wild plants. Classes are taught in a straw bale classroom made with local clay mixed with straw and cattail fluff. Leah travels cross country to gather plants in many ecosystems and teaches where ever there are people who want to learn more about plants and medicine. Contact her about having a class in your area.

HWB interviews Karen Henderson, organizer and founder of the Veterans Resiliency Holistic Clinic in Richmond, VA. Karen hosts a monthly clinic for veterans and their families, providing almost a dozen holistic health modalities. This clinic is a donation only clinic and no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Karens discusses how her own experiences as a veteran with PTSD drove her to create the VRHC, and how alternative modalities such as herbalism, zero balancing, craniosacral therapy, wellness coaching, NADA acupuncture, mindfulness meditation, yoga, reflexology, aromatherapy, and somatic experiencing form the basis of working with veterans who are experiencing the symptoms of PTSD. Find out more about her inspiring work and this low/no cost community clinic model.
