Gathering of the Canberra Herbalists Collective

Our purpose is to create a dedicated space for naturopaths and herbalists to come together, deepen their knowledge, refine their pactice and build a strong, supportive community.

THE OUTCOMES:

The intention of the collective is to bring together on a regular basis the naturopaths and herbalists in Canberra and surrounds with the intention of:

• Developing a deeper knowledge of our medicines
• Expanding our understanding of our modalities beyond what we learned in our higher education
• Building confidence in practice and business development
• Providing a safe and nurturing environment for networking and connection
• Sharing resources, creating opportunities, supporting each other’s development

THE CONCEPT:

We will meet on a bi-monthly basis following the structure below:

A bi-monthly (eg Mar, May, Jul, Sept, Nov) paid event which includes:

• Networking: 30 minutes networking
• A guest speaker delivering relevant content: 1 hour
• The same guest speaker to facilitate a case discussion or similar: 30mins
• Dinner afterwards (optional)

THE DETAILS:

Venue: kindly donated by The H Dispensary (formerly The Hierophant).

Time: 6pm until 8pm

Date: Last Monday of every second month.

Cost: $50 cash at door

WHAT YOUR ARE PAYING FOR:

Our intention is to value the work of the speaker and to pay them half the takings up to the a certain dollar value (amount to be agreed upon by admin team).

A small amount will go towards basic needs such as white board markers, cups and light snacks, etc needed for running the education sessions.

The balance of the funds will accumulate for the purpose of bringing national or potentially international speakers as guest speakers in year 2 and beyond.

WHO IS THIS FOR:

This initiative is for:

• Practitioners in Canberra and surrounds
• Naturopaths
• Herbalists
• Guest practitioners of herbal medicine from outside the greater Canberra area
• Guest speakers
• Potentially other modalities may be considered

WHO IS ORGANISING THIS?

While the meeting are located at The H Dispensary (formerly The Hierophant) and the venue is being kindly donated for the meetings, this is an initiative by 2 Canberra naturopaths, Fiona Joiner and Brenda Rogers.

We are looking to grow the admin team (we especially need a treasurer) so if you are interested please speak to us. We estimate the role takes approx. 1 hour per month.
