Herbal & Earth-Centered Healing Gatherings with Ann Drucker
Herbal Gatherings
Celebrations of the Plants in Season
Herbal Gatherings are a celebration of the plants in season. Meet with people who love the earth as much as you do, to make herbal medicines, learn about healing, and celebrate the cycles of the earth. Experience yourself in harmony with nature and spirit.
The Herbal Gatherings are hands-on, earth-centered classes. We meet in my garden in Boulder, Colorado as well as directly on the land where the plants live. All classes include delicious snacks and teas made from local wild plants.
How to Join
While space is limited and pre-registration is required, you are cordially invited to come join our party with the plants! Please note that some classes require an application. Please contact me to sign up or join the waiting list by calling (303) 449-4061 or sending an email. We celebrate and welcome LGBTQI+ & BIPOC community!

Teacher Training Assisted by Doris Vargas
Doris Vargas is the Founder of Spirited Women Therapy. She has 20+ years experience as a shamanistic practitioner and psychotherapist. Doris is deeply grateful to all her teachers along her journey for sharing their gifts with her. She helps clients find relief from life events, release stored energy and trauma, and provide safe, guided journeys through shamanic bodywork and plant medicine ceremonies. Doris works with clients 1:1 and in intimate group settings from her sacred space. In addition, she's taught students at Naropa University and MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) to learn how to journey in the shamanistic realms.
Doris works with each client uniquely to open channels and clear what is not serving them emotionally and spiritually through plant brushing, abdominal massage, spiritual baths, extraction & soul retrieval, and plant medicine ceremonies. Doris helps you clear blocked, stagnant energy to make room for what truly serves. Clients report feeling spiritually nourished and deeply relaxed.
Doris has witnessed clarity and change in her clients' relationships, understanding & reduction of addictions, healing and forgiveness. Additionally, her clients find new ways of operating in the world, space to allow feelings of loss to unfold, and positive shifts in mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
She welcomes introductions and exploration of how her practice can support you. Please reach out if you feel inspired to have shamanic bodywork or want to participate in plant medicine ceremonies.
