arkansawblk aka Lavender the Herbal Fairy is a visionary and multi-dimensional creative. She’s grown an 9 year artistic career as a self-taught painter, writer and event planner. arkansawblk enjoys quilting elements of science fiction and nonfiction, science and magic, tradition and innovation to explore the complexity and depth of life as a human-being. She enjoys thoughtful conversations, drinking herbal tea, and asking questions. With 9 years of experience in education and facilitation, Lavender is passionate about teaching about the healing powers of nature through a decolonized lens. As a guide and therapeutic horticulturist, she leads groups to explore plant medicine and connection to the earth, creating spaces where people can grow, learn, and (re)connect with nature. She hopes to support people in finding their sense of belonging in the greater ecosystem by helping people connect more consciously with themselves, each other, and the natural world we are a part of.
