Happy New Year!
Three weeks into 2020 and we are feeling the love for sure. Thank you for making the 2019 launch of The Vervain Collective feel so powerful and so special. Since our soft opening in August, we have served hundreds of people as they explore new or deeper relationships with plants and share their expertise and knowledge with their community. We are celebrating what we’ve built so far and reflecting on what’s ahead as we continue to work toward our goals and enjoy learning from our herbal allies! January is off to a great start – here’s a smattering of what’s going on:
Upcoming Classes
