More than anything, the Kootenay Herb Gathering is about community 💚

It’s about showing up for each other, learning together, sharing meals, swapping stories, and celebrating our shared love for the plants. From herbalists who attended before to curious beginners, we co-created something beautiful this year.

Thank you to everyone who came with open hearts, helping hands, and a willingness to connect. This is what herbalism looks like when it’s alive, together.

At the heart of the Kootenay Herb Gathering are the teachers - the herbalists, knowledge keepers, clinicians, crafters, storytellers, and earth lovers who shared their time, wisdom, and passion with us 🌿✨

From plant walks and demos to hands-on workshops and heartfelt talks, each session helped weave the web of connection that makes this gathering so special.

To each and every one of you: thank you for showing up with such generousity and heart.

Throughout the weekend, we were nourished by the incredible work of Chef Jenn Gawne of Wild Peach Preserves, who kept our bellies full and our spirits high with creative, locally sourced meals.

Deep gratitude also goes out to the local food producers who made our shared meals possible:
Silverking Tofu, Crooked Horn Farm, Hawthorn Creek Farm, Salix and Sedge, Bakery Ymir, Kootenay Organic Meats, and Eddie the Baker.

With every ingredient, you nourished more than our bodies - you strengthened our connection to the land, to local food systems, and to each other.

Friday evening at KHG 2025, we were honoured to gather in a full house to hear from Marilyn James, Smum iem Matriarch of the Autonomous Sinixt.

Marilyn shared Sinixt plant protocols and teachings rooted in care, ceremony, and right relationship with the land and water.

“Take it to the water,” she urged - reminding us that water is not a resource, but a living being central to Sinixt law, story, and ceremony.

Her words called our herbal community to reflect deeply on our responsibilities, especially when harvesting on unceded territory or walking through times of grief.

We are grateful for Marilyn's guidance, her courage, and her presence and the collaboration with Blood of Life Collective to make this possible.
