Who We Are

Kiah has been working with grassroots community and plants for the past decade. They moved to California in 2018 from Naarm (Wurundjeri Indigenous word for Melbourne, Australia) to complete their graduate degree in Anthropology and Social Change. Through their time working within transformative spaces, Kiah has organized festivals and events, led workshops, and facilitated rituals and ceremonies – all through the lens of collective and personal liberation.  

Since 2017, Kiah has been developing a particularly close relationship with California native plants. They have been working on land regeneration projects and home gardens all across the East Bay. They spent 1 year and 1/2 apprenticing at Alembique- a local apothecary in Berkeley. In Kiah's time there, they have been learning and participating in plant medicine making in order to deepen their knowledge and abilities in botanical magic. Currently, they are studying at the School of Evolutionary Herbalism.

Kiah’s unique experience and education offers a paradigm for personal transformation which is critical, structural, political, social, and spiritual. Through this lens,  we may recognize humans' interdependence with the natural world. If we are in fact interdependent, then our individual healing is synonymous with all life - plant and human alike.
