Dove

Dove is an herbalist living and learning on the traditional lands of the Puyallup and Steilacoom people where she participates in community-building projects and works as a caregiver.  As a restless ‘grown-up’ who has transplanted herself across many states and borders, land and plant-tending is Dove’s soul-rooter and community connector. Her love for plant medicine grew out of a desire to connect deeper with the traditional practices of her ancestry, a journey that deepened during the pandemic when she began studying Afro-indigenous herbalism. Her goal as an herbalist is to strengthen the thread of continuity between us and the Ancestors, help the body be a place where Spirit thrives, and build community so our roots can flourish. She continues to look for ways to grow as a facilitator and community-builder and is overjoyed to engage in that work with Yes! At the Pacific Northwest Changemakers Jam.
