| The Sustainable Herbs Initiative Learning Labs provide the foundation for the collaborative work that is the heart of SHI. These Learning Labs are a wonderful opportunity to bring in more employees of current SHI member companies and for potential new SHI members to experience the work we are doing.
For stakeholders in the botanical industry, this virtual Learning Lab will explore:
- How can medicinal plant sourcing enhance global wellbeing?
- How do we cultivate true respect for plants, people, and planet?
- What systemic changes are necessary?
- How can we collaborate to drive meaningful transformation?
The 2025 series is informed by and will build on the powerful in-person gatherings SHI has had during three Learning Journeys (Appalachia, Oregon, and Nicaragua). The structure will continue with and deepen the work of previous SHP Learning Labs. We will share case studies that illustrate these ideas in practice and identify tools to help implement these ideas in new initiatives (to be undertaken individually and collaboratively).
The series will be co-facilitated by SHI Director Ann Armbrecht and Julie Arts, a senior Faculty member and consultant with the Presencing Institute, which offers a model of awareness-based systems change that works at getting to the root causes of systemic change and identifying key steps to address those issues.
Dates: January 30, February 6, 20, and 27, 2025 Time: 11 am-1 pm ET
