Leah Wolfe, Radical Herbalism
In episode 6, Herbalists Without Borders chats with Leah Wolf of the Trillium Center about radical herbalism. For Leah, radical herbalism is a combination of roots, restoration, resistance, and resilience. She integrates these four concepts into a four-element system of herbalism to help her students understand how to go deeper in understanding health and wellness issues. Listen to the podcast episode below.
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. Contact Leah and find more information about her upcoming classes at trilliumcenter.org
