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’ journey has been shaped by a combination of shamanic practices, therapy studies, and personal rites of passage. Through healing trauma, getting sober, navigating motherhood and divorce, and processing grief, she has developed a deep understanding of how to balance personal challenges with professional life, which enhances her ability to guide others on their own healing journeys.
With over 25 years of experience, Doris integrates her life lessons, mentorships, and studies to help clients release trauma, clear blockages, and restore balance through shamanic bodywork and ceremonies. She provides a safe, transformative space for healing and personal growth.
Doris has taught at Naropa University, MAPS, and Rebecca’s Apothecary, and is deeply grateful for the wisdom shared by her mentors, including Ann Drucker, Miss Beatrice Waight, Raven Keyes, Sandra Ingerman, her delightful plant elders, and her beloved family.
