APPLY TO SPEAK AT THE 1ST ANNUAL HERBAL SOLUTIONS: NATURE’S REMEDIES THAT WORK SUMMIT, RUNNING FOR 3 DAYS
“Herbal Solutions: Nature’s Remedies that Work” Summit will help families make and use natural remedies to heal, build, and restore their health, their homes, and their communities, with less trial and error, less expense, and less wasted energy. By focusing on the herbs that grow within a local community, healers can create a reservoir of wellness that they can draw on year after year, without relying on expensive and exotic imported herbs, supply chain woes, or hard to find ingredients.
What this summit is about?
- Growing and harvesting herbs at their optimal potency
- Making herbal remedies from bioregional herbs
- Crafting an herbal apothecary to support basic wellness needs
Over the 3 days of the Herbal Solutions: Nature’s Remedies that Work Summit, I will feature 20+ herbalism experts who will teach us how to grow and harvest local herbs, how to make and use herbal remedies, how to use these herbs for vitality in the home, in the garden, and in the apothecary.
It’s time to stop wasting money on wellness plans that don’t work, and start using strategies that actually provide the simple solutions to health that have stood the test of time.
Meet Your Host…
Hi! I’m Chris Dalziel (Pronounced D-L, the Scottish way)
I’ve been playing with herbs for 40 years, since I made my first bars of natural soap in 1982. I’ve been coaching and mentoring herbalists since 2018, with an emphasis on local herbs, herb gardening, and taking personal responsibility for wellness.
Grab your ticket and join me and 20+ experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you create a personal herbal apothecary using local herbs and gain the confidence to use them effectively with more JOY.
How it will work
- The summit runs from October 8 to 10th
- A kick off call will take place on October 7th
- A live panel will be held on October 11th
- Each speaker will submit a training session 20 to 30 minutes in length
- Each presentation should include a herbal strategy that is working now with actionable steps.
- Each presentation should be educational and not a sales pitch or a free “signature talk”.
- Each presentation can include a short pitch for a free or paid offer at the end of their session.
- The summit is free to attend. There will be 2 options for upgrades, one of them will include gifts donated by speakers.
- Speakers do not need to be available during summit week, however we will encourage them to engage in the pop-up Facebook group and answer questions about their session. We will create a dedicated post for each speaker promoting their session and encouraging participants to ask questions in the comments. This will make it as easy as possible for speakers to jump in!
