Annual Virtual Community Membership at Wild Ginger

Beloved Community,

It is with great excitement we welcome you to our all new annual virtual community membership program!

For 2022, we welcome a cohort of folks who will take the year to dive deep into plant, people, and community healing work. Virtual Community Members are welcome to take as many or as few classes that resonate with them, and we offer a mix of live and pre-recorded classes throughout the year along with interactive community circle sessions.

Our annual virtual community membership is a community-supported education (CSE) model as we recognize the interrelationship between the value you receive through our learning spaces and the value you are pouring into keeping this work, our family, as well as community of teachers' livelihoods possible. We are in deep gratitude to all who collectively support this work so we can continue to provide low-barrier community herbal education. It takes our collective villages to lift up this work and to keep it going, so we thank you for your investment and support.

Our intention is to welcome members into our community whom we can best serve and whose expectations are in line with our capacity and offerings. Each of the teachers in this program come to this work with deep love and respect for community and for this work, and because, most often, the classes they create and share are central to each of their life paths, this work is deeply meaningful. We hope to illuminate the many ways that folks can be in relationship with the plants and with each other in hopes to shine light on the possibilities we collectively hold.

Important Information:
Please take a few moments to read through the following important information before signing up.

- Annual Virtual Membership includes all classes outlined on this page for the entire 2022 year.

- ALL classes will be recorded and the entire archive of courses will be available throughout the entire 2022 year of membership.

- Virtual Community Members will receive access to our online community portal which will include login information for our Live Zoom Classes, links to the pre-recorded classes as well as all class recordings and course materials/notes. This information will be sent out before classes begin in January 2022.

- Virtual Community Members are added to our Annual Community Membership Newsletter in which direct links to classes that are released each week will be sent to you. They also have important login information and class info, PLEASE add [email protected] to your email contacts list to assure you get messages. If you have not heard from us please check your trash or spam before contacting us.

- Certain pre-recorded classes will offer Community Circle Sessions (such as the Plant Path Herbal Intensive Program, the Birthkeeper Program and the Ayurveda Series). These are live interactive sessions held via Zoom that are meant to offer a time for Q & A with that teacher, as well as to collectively explore who the course material has come alive for folks. Community Circle Sessions will not be recorded and must be attended live only.

- Every Virtual Community Member who would like to participate in any of our live classes or circle sessions must commit to attend our first all-community gathering on January 6 at 7 pm EST.

- We ask every Virtual Community Member, Space Holder, and Teacher to fully read, be with, and consent to our Community Values and Agreements. By enrolling you agree to have fully read and consented to our Community Values and Agreements - click here to read - below there is a form linked where you can sign to consent.

- Our online courses will largely center around the course content, while some will contain participatory components.

- Please note, we do not offer certifications for this program.

- It is important to know our teachers and space holders are not trained facilitators, and we do not hold one specific set of politics or spirituality. Rather we are a wide ranging group of folks whose work centers around herbs and community in different ways. We welcome folks from and beyond social movements while acknowledging that this is not a radical activist space.

- For live classes and Community Circle Sessions, they will be held on the Zoom platform. Please come prepared to participate fully, just as you would an in-person training. Please try to connect from a quiet place. A computer with a webcam and high-speed internet are recommended to get the most out of the training. Please remain on mute unless actively speaking.

- During the classes that are live as well as the Circle Sessions, we do not have trained facilitators present. Differing from our in person courses, our online programs are more on providing affordable educational content and our focus is less on interaction though some series will have specific prompts teachers will use to engage as well as Community Circle Sessions.

- Please know our online classes can be quite large.

- This program is open to all, need a BIPOC only space? Check these out.

- This is an all-inclusive membership. We will not be offering individual registration for courses other than Bloom, so no discounts or a la carte registrations will be available.

- Members are not required to take all classes; however the Plant Path Herbal Intensive, the Ayurveda Series, as well as Birthkeepers Program are meant to be taken in sequential order.
