We are excited to be joined by John Slattery. John is a Vitalist Herbalist who has been developing a framework of healing with wild
plants over the past 20 years called Bioregional Herbalism. Profoundly influenced by Mother Nature, a number of indigenous herbalists throughout the Americas (primarily
Doña Olga Ruíz Cañez), herbalist Michael Moore, and ancestral sources his work is
rooted in working with plants of the local landscape.

John’s focus has been to develop the intuitive faculties and a heart-centered awareness
as these powerful faculties are very commonly underutilized, under-appreciated and misunderstood.

John’s work as an herbalist has centered around the Sonoran desert of the American
Southwest and Northwestern Mexico while partnering with several indigenous herbalists
from this region.

John founded Desert Tortoise Botanicals, a hand-crafted herbal products company in
2005, and Desert Forager, a prickly pear-focused, foraged foods company, in 2014.

He is the author of Southwest Foraging (2016) and Southwest Medicinal Plants (2020), both published by Timber Press.

John taught the Bioregional Herbalist Apprenticeship between 2010 to 2023 in the field throughout the Sonoran desert and currently offers Introduction to Foraging in the Sonoran Desert field course, March through November.

In addition to sharing his views on Bioregional Herbalism with a wider audience, John is
passionate about continuing his exploration of ancient cultures and visiting ancient sites
in Western Europe, North America and elsewhere. His focus has landed on the ancient story of oaks and acorns, the vast history of Ireland, its language, its people, and its culture, the history of real money (gold and silver), and natural law, amongst many other subjects.
