Expand your horizons, awaken your senses, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Let’s face it, the options available to us in drug stores don’t usually deliver on their promises of health. It is like placing a bandage over a gushing wound. While natural foods stores offer better choices, they are expensive! It’s hard to focus on self care when we’re worried about spending that much money every month.

Making your own herbal products can solve these problems!

BUT... There are lots of QUESTIONS that come up when you first start on an herbal journey
 - How do I properly prepare, filter, store and use these for myself?
 - Which plants should I choose?
 - How much plant material do I need for each type of extract?
 - Where is the best place to get herbs?
 - What brand and potency of extractants should I use?
 - How do I avoid making mistakes??

If you’ve felt intimidated to take the first step toward brewing up the things you need to support your own wellness, then the Herbal Concoctions Workshop is for you! With Alison as your guide, you will gain not just skills and knowledge, but the self-confidence to fill your shelf with homemade herbal products to help you take better care of yourself and your family. 

This workshop is for anyone who has a  fear of “messing up” , "doing it wrong" or is otherwise unsure where to start. Don't just guess or try to figure it out from a recipe! Get the hands on help you need. Our ancestors didn't have a drug store. They used wild plants for their health - and we can too! We only need to remember how. That's what this workshop will teach you.

The Herbal Concoctions Workshop is educationally focused. We won't be able to solve everyone's personal health issues during the workshop. However, with a little research and time, you can easily decide what herbs are best for you. And when you do - you'll be armed with the skills and knowledge to create the concoctions that can put you on a path to improved health!

IMMERSIVE WORKSHOPS (In the Barn; Pre-registration Required):

 1:00. Sound Healing with Tracy Matteson, Peace of the Planet
Sound healings are a gentle way to move the energy in our bodies through vibration. The vibrations of various sound healing instruments have been shown to synchronize our heart rates, breathing and brain waves, which brings us to a state of homeostasis. Sound healing can take us out of “fight-or-flight” and relax us, which leads to decreased pain, lowered anxiety levels, and increased immune responses. It is a beautiful way to slow down to take a break from the noise of everyday life.


 2:30. Breathwork with Meegan Sciretto, Plant Yourself Medicine.
Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses a rhythmic breath pattern that allows you to drop out of the busyness of your mind and go deeper into your body and the emotions that weigh heavily on you and your nervous system. It is a powerful way to open up, clear stuck energy and access your inner wisdom.

Join Meegan for a  transformative journey where the power of your breath becomes the catalyst for your healing and growth. A conscious and intentional way of breathing that taps into the body's innate ability to heal, release, and rejuvenate. Through this active breath and guided support, this journey offers a safe space for self-exploration, emotional release and spiritual growth. Connect to your inner wisdom, restore balance to your energy system and tap into higher states of consciousness.

TALKS AND DEMONSTRATIONS (On the Stage or in the Tent)
Inner Child Healing; What is Shamanism; Wild Medicinal Plant Walk; Biomagnetism Demonstration; Kirtan; Fermented foods and many more! Full schedule coming soon.

The Festival Team

Alison Magill
Herbalist, Ecologist, Educator
The Well Cultivated Life


Hello! I'm Alison. I'm an herbalist, ecologist, educator and flower essence practitioner who loves all things botanical, herbal and green! Decades ago I began a plant journey that led me to the herbally-inspired life I now live.

What does that look like? It’s the daily practice of infusing beneficial herbs into all aspects of my lifestyle: what I eat, my personal care and my environment. As an herbalist and gardener, I know the deep healing that comes from tending. We care for the plants and they care for us. Incorporating beautiful, nutritious and healing plants into our daily lives gives us the earth-centered and grounded connection that we’re all missing in this fast-paced, tech-focused world.

Why am I running a healing arts festival? I love to create community connections. For 15 years I was the leader of a local Slow Food chapter where we brought people together for the love of food. Now I’ve turned my talents toward another area of passion: holistic and alternative healing. Lynn and I realized we both had the desire to support and promote our local wellness community so we came together to organize the first annual Radical Healing Festival!

I firmly believe that we need to go way beyond the type of care that is available through the current healthcare system. How we feel and the state of our health is ultimately up to us but everyone needs support. By bringing together practitioners from various disciplines in a nurturing and inclusive space, we’re showcasing the transformative power of these modalities and inspiring individuals to explore new avenues of healing. Join us?!

Lynn McCarthy
Biomagnetism and Energy Healer
Pure Potential Healing


Hello! My name is Lynn McCarthy and I am a Bio-Magnetic Practitioner. As someone who believes in the incredible power of the body to heal itself, I have dedicated myself to supporting people that are having a difficult time healing their body. Through my gift of finding the polarities within the body, depolarizing those areas with magnets, then harnessing the potential for transformation and healing, my clients have found the healing they have been seeking.  That is why I have named my business "Pure Potential Healing."

Throughout my journey, I have witnessed countless individuals experience remarkable transformations, some achieving complete recovery from chronic conditions and emotional pain and others finding a sense of well-being.  Witnessing these incredible changes in others, combined with my personal life-changing experience, inspired me to embark on a path of learning and sharing this profound knowledge with others.

I strongly believe that each person holds within them the power to heal and transform their lives. That’s why I have partnered with Alison to create the Radical Healing Festival and promote the  natural and alternative healing modalities available to those seeking help with their healing.

Our aim is to create a vibrant and inclusive gathering where individuals can explore and experience various modalities firsthand. Practitioners from different disciplines can come together, share their wisdom, and inspire attendees to embark on their own transformative healing journeys. I am excited to create a platform that celebrates the power of holistic healing and provides a supportive community for individuals seeking to enhance their well-being and discover new paths to healing.
