Welcome back to The Herbalist Hour!

Today, we’ve got something special for you — what we’re calling the lost episode with Nathan Wright.

This was recorded last year, but due to an absolutely whirlwind year for Nathan, the video never made it to you — until now. Originally, Nathan had planned to release a different cold water experience video at the same time as this one, but that one remains unreleased and is now something he uses exclusively for his classes.

Then, somewhere along the way, he misplaced this recording. And by the time he found it again last year, he was deep in organizing the Northwoods Nature Fest, an incredible event that this year will be held May 30th to June 1st in Wolverine, Michigan. 

This festival has drawn in some amazing herbalists, including jim mcdonald and Matthew Wood, the latter of whom has called it “the greatest little under-marketed herb festival in the North Country.”

Nathan teaches a wide range of classes, including: Indigenous herbalism Mushroom foraging Cold water immersion (which you’ll actually see him demonstrate in this video), wild rice cultivation Permaculture Treaty rights, bark teas and plant medicine, pain relief methods, Ojibwe storytelling, guided plant walks, and even discussions on Troubled Water, the documentary he’s featured in.

*BONUS: Nathan is sharing with us a special coupon code for 15% off all items on his site.* 

Exclusive to listeners of the HerbRally podcast go to HerbalLodge.com and use code HR15. 

Enjoy the LOST episode of The Herbalist Hour with the one and only Nathan Wright. 

Talk to you soon,

~Mason

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined in-person by the one and only Ellenie Cruz.

We traveled to New Orleans, my favorite city, for my 40th birthday and had the opportunity to interview three incredible herbalists. 

Ellenie was one of 'em and we met up at beautiful City Park to record this episode. 

I first met Ellenie at the event she organized for several years, the NOLA Herbal Gathering. It was so good to sit down and catch up with her.

She's had an incredible journey and I am honored to call her a friend.

Ellenie Marie Mabaoyo Cruz-Hampton is a mother, educator, poet, student midwife, doula, herbalist, reiki master, food literacy educator, artist and designer. Ellenie uses her given and learned talents to promote the art of ancestral practices to heal self, family and community. Motivated by social justice, she has shifted from being a high school English teacher to a free agent and entrepreneur promoting radical change through holistic wellness, self-care and community building. 

Thanks for tuning in and we'll see you in the next episode,
