We hold a voice in the Southeast for the Wise Woman Tradition —
simple living, earth-based healing, and local plants.
The Conference is Keeping Us Busy Already!
by Ema Carmona, Conference Coordinator Southeast Women's Herbal Conference
While we would love to spend all of our days outside with the glorious plants of summer, the work preparing for October's conference often keeps us inside at our desks or in meetings. One task that has kept us busy over the last few months is the new and improved SE Wise Women website. We hope that the site will provide visitors with the information they need in a way that is pleasing to both the eye and the spirit.
One benefit of our full email boxes and long to-do lists is the largest list of sponsors to date! For a full listing of these awesome sponsors, check out the Sponsors page.
Processing more than 150 Early Bird registrations has also kept us on our toes! And with registration numbers similar to last year, we look forward to a fabulous conference. We welcome women attending for their first time, either alone or with a group of friends, along with women returning for their second, third, fourth, or even fifth years. The community just keeps growing!
Speaking of growing, the Southeast Women’s Herbal Conference brochure has expanded to a 16-page format to accommodate the increase in sponsors, teachers, and class offerings. We chose to use a local newspaper printer to print the brochure on earth-friendly newsprint. If you are interested in receiving some brochures and/or our beautiful posters in the mail so you can pass them out to your friends or to hang in your area, see the Get Involved page.
A heart-filled thanks from us to you for helping to spread the word and for your continued interest and support.

Are You a Nurse?
Calling holistic nurses! This year, the Southeast Women's Herbal Conference is applying to offer CE credits* to nurses who are interested in complementary and alternative health care and wish to deepen their understanding of herbs and women’s health.
We would love to send you a packet of posters and brochures to distribute to other nurses--or contact Ema with your ideas about what we could do to spread the word to nurses in your area.
And remember, we offer $5 Refer a Friend coupons for conference goodies, and a 10% Group Discount for groups of 8 or more!
*The conference has applied to provide Continuing Education credits for nurses from the NC Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.
