About our name…

Coined by the mystic, saint, and healer Hildegard von Bingen (c. 1098-1179 AD), it has also come to mean virility, vitality, lushness, growth, and the divine healing power of Nature. It's the innate vital force contained within us all that the plants help us access, direct, and hone, and is the healing force that animates all life forms including the plants.

In the Viriditas Membership space we explore our relationships with the green world and the multitude of ways we can relate to the plants, dive into their herbal uses and medicine, deepen our relationships with them, explore wildtending, wildcrafting, and reciprocity, and build our herbal skills.

Viriditas is an ancient Latin word that translates to "greeness"

Multiple Membership Options

We’ve crafted each level of membership to provide different opportunities to deepen your herbal studies and journey with plant medicine even further- from monthly classes to access to a huge class library, virtual teatimes, medicine-making gatherings, and even consultations or mentorship if you'd like to work together on your health or herbal studies.

Our hope is that there will be something for everybody!

Kind Words …

  • Jade, I can't express enough how much I appreciate your work! I've been binge watching and listening to your teachings on Patreon. I'm going to move up to $10 membership to have access to more information. Love what you do and the way you deliver!

    P.L.

  • I can't recommend this membership enough. It's such an amazing way to bring more awareness of plants and plant medicine into your life. There are so many easy uses of local plants in my yard that I was overlooking. I have so much more connection to the wild plants now with a lot more tools in sharing that with my students too. I'm throwing some plants in salads, in pancakes, in honey, in tea, and in bath salts, besides the slightly more in-depth processes of longer-term medicine making that Jade makes so easy, that it feels like no big deal now.

    S.L.

  • Thank you for this patreon and for your time and investment in this community and for the way you invite so many others in. Thank you for the way that you remind me I can still learn and grow and even begin to think of myself as an herbalist even if I don't drop everything and go back to school. That I can incorporate it into my life in all sorts of ways, and that not only is that good enough, but it brings a fresh perspective that will ultimately be valuable to others beyond myself.

    J.S.

  • I wanted to tell you I've been enjoying your patreon classes so much. I've been working with the wild violets in my yard and they've been a real comfort to me during a stressful time. I mixed up my first ever batch of wild soda the other day, and felt so thankful for you and the simple preparations I've learned about from you that truly are medicine for the spirit.

  • Thank you so much! I've been a patron for years and have learned SO much and feel like your classes have really shaped my relationship with the land around me"

    H.S.

  • Thank you again for the very thoughtful classes that you offer. You make big topics feel very manageable and approachable and they are often offering things that fit perfectly into what is currently happening with myself / my family / my yard (for example we are loaded with blueberries and anise hyssop currently so that oxymel recipe was very timely!). You have been instrumental in bringing a theoretical desire for using more plants into a real practice of doing so in my home.

    J.S.

  • Your content is bringing me so much joy this spring. I am relatively new to herbalism, and I really appreciate how accessible you make everything. I just went on my first foraging adventure yesterday after listening to your spring foraging class! I have only been a subscriber for a week and you have already changed how I look at plants like Dandelions:) Every time I see one now (which is a lot) I reflect on the abundance of medicine around us. Thank you so much for the love and energy you put into your work.
