General Meetings of the Herb Society of Manitoba are usually held at the Canadian Mennonite University, South Campus - 600 Shaftesbury Blvd. (south of Grant) in Conference Room A01. Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and are generally held on the third Monday of each month except July, August and December. There is the odd exception to the third Monday rule and the location so check the schedule below. Information is added regularly, so check back often.
Meetings generally begin with a brief presentation of Herb Society business, then there is a short break. The Hospitality Committee provides herbal goodies for everyone to try during the break. Right after the break, the speaker begins their presentation. Sometimes the order is reversed depending on the speaker and topic. Upcoming speakers are listed below.

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.
