  • AHG 2024- Herbal Roots and Medicinal Mushrooms

    YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly Black Mountain, NC, United States

    This year's symposium theme, Herbal Roots and Medicinal Mushrooms, highlights these potent remedies' use in clinical practice. We also feature a Certificate Track, Botanical Support in Aging, and many plant walks, experiential workshops, and cutting-edge classes for everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners.  However, the AHG Symposium is more than just an educational event. It's a gathering that brings herbalists together to support and inspire each other. In addition to regular symposium sessions, we offer lots of opportunities to socialize and network. Plan to attend Friday evening's Maypop Mixer and our legendary Saturday night Rockin' Roots Dance Party. The Vendor Fair will also be in full swing throughout the weekend; here, you can learn about new herbal products, educational opportunities, and more.Â
