Ginger Webb, Community Herbalist
Ginger Webb has been deeply immersed in the study of herbs in central Texas for 30+ years and has supported hundreds to reconnect with the plant world as medicine. Since 2012, Sacred Journey School of Herbalism has offered in-depth herbalist programs to interested folx and new herbalists.
The school reflects Ginger’s deep love for the plants and for humanity; her study with the late great herbalist Michael Moore; her nerdy passion for botany, wild plants, and plant families; her years of experience making herbal medicines; her reverence for the wisdom of the ancients; and her belief that we all have access to the healing wisdom of the plant world simply by virtue of the fact that we are alive and share consciousness with all life.
What our students have to say:
"Studying under teacher/maestra Ginger Webb is akin to taking an interactive higher education lecture/lab and to sitting with my caring elders learning about the richness of native and other plants for herbal medicine making and healing. Deep respect for the earth, each other and sharing knowledge across cultures are hallmarks of this study and practice. This is our shared birthright regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, economic or political identification. I’m grateful for the opportunity to realize a long-term dream through SJS inclusivity values and reparation scholarships. This program is rooted in botanical, physical and energetic herbal plant properties for healing oneself, family, and community. It’s for me, you, and us.”

"I joined the 2019-2020 Foundations class to learn more about medicinal uses of plants and get hands-on experience making and using plant remedies. I did get all that — but it wasn’t nearly the most important part of the experience. You can buy books that list medicinal uses for each plant in your area, and you can watch YouTube videos that teach how to make elderberry syrup and other medicinals. In herbalism class, I learned attitudes towards plants and how to think about wellness and healing through the lens of traditions from all over the world, ineffables that can only be transmitted by sharing, feeling, and doing. I heard stories of illness and transformation and watched my new “herbie” friends find their plant allies in real time. It’s a journey I treasure and look forward to continuing.”
