The Herb Society of Manitoba was formed in 1995 by a group of enthusiastic volunteers interested in educating the public about herbs and promoting the use of herbs in everyday life. In 1996, a Constitution was written, a Mission Statement formulated, and the Society officially began its work.
Our meetings are generally held the 3rd Monday of each month and start at 7:00 p.m. at the Canadian Mennonite University South Campus in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For more information on upcoming speakers, please visit the Programming page.
General Meetings are open to the public, however, there is a $5.00 charge for guests to attend. Individual memberships are $25.00/year (Canadian funds).
The Herb Society of Manitoba is dedicated to promoting knowledge, use and enjoyment of herbs through education, programs, research and sharing the experience of its members with the community.
Amelia MacDougall is an herb lover and passionate holistic wellness practitioner. She was first inspired to find a natural understanding of wellness while working as a pharmacist, where she began to question the mindset and methodologies behind mainstream medicine while simultaneously feeling a deep call to reconnect with nature. After attending her first talk on herbal medicine, it became clear to her that herbs were a foundational part of the picture. In addition to herbalism, Amelia spends her time learning and practicing energy healing and shamanism.
