The Black Herbalist Convergence scheduled for Friday, October 4th will occur on zoom.

This year our theme is A Healer in Every Home.

This one is so special to me!! Growing up in Guyana, I knew that every home had a healer. Someone in each home healed, whether with plants, touch, garlic skins, eggs, the Bible, song, dance, chant, talking in tongues, birthing, food, etc. In my second home in Brooklyn, every few streets in Flatbush was a healer, a voodoo priest, a Baballawo, Padrino, Lucimi priestess, and a Rasta selling plants, all sharing knowledge and healing their communities. With waves of gentrification came spiritual colonization of our communities. When I opened Sacred, my goal was clear..to have: A Healer in Every Home. No matter where we are, we would have our medicine.

After 15 years of work, I return to this purpose repeatedly. Over a span of 12 years, Sacred Vibes Apprentices has grown to a community of over 1500 individuals. Many spiritual herbalists are mentors, teachers, and conveners in their communities, creating a tangible impact on A Healer in Each Home. Along with Sacred Vibes Apothecary, which is in its 15th year, and our community outreach through our free Herbalism Programs, over 100,000 individuals remembered the power/ashe of their medicine.

Our Spiritual Herbalism conference is now in its 7th year! And we uplift this year’s theme: A Healer in Every Home. Celebrate your journey with us wherever it stands, and step forward in your home, family, and communities. There has yet to be a less/more important time…that you can believe.

Our goal is to offer tools to recall and explore our ancestral knowledge, document the wisdom of our elders, and preserve our heritage for the next generation.

The BHC will be a journey of recalling and honoring the ancestral medicine of the past, identifying our natural inclinations as healers of the present, and reimagining the foundation for the legacy we will leave behind. 

We’ll explore what it means to integrate the past, present and future, the importance of documenting and taking up the torch as the healers in our homes and communities, honoring A Legacy of Medicine. Through our evening of activities including a panel discussion, interactive workshops, and community break out sessions, we’re diving into:

• Chapter 1: Healers of the Past - The ancestral foundations of our legacy, what it means to take up the torch, and become the wise folk standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. This chapter will feature a live panel discussion with Sabriya Simon, Stephen Lewis, and Shirley Johnson, while introducing some creative practices for reimagining your family’s identity.

• Chapter 2: Healing in the Present - Where you are, with what you have, with what you know. In this chapter, we will get rooted in the present to recognize our role as healers and showcase tangible tools for healing in the now. 

Chapter 3: Cultivating A Legacy of Healing for the Future- Assembling the ingredients of the recipe together. We know where we've been and where we are. In the final chapter, we will explore the ways we can continue to alchemize the foundations laid by our ancestors and our present work as healers to empower our future. description
