Join me on this week's episode of the podcast where I welcome Danièle Fogel, a passionate herbal educator and founder of Yervika. Through Yervika, Danièle is working to bring herbs back into everyday life to foster more connection & belonging, and also greater health & wellbeing. She seeks to re-orient people towards nature, our inherent belonging to the earth and a reclamation of ancestral knowledge & wisdom that connects us to our inner power and opens a pathway to collective wellbeing.

Danièle sees herbal knowledge as necessary knowledge for our collective future, and is dedicated to making this knowledge more accessible. She has worked for nearly two decades in education—as a classroom teacher, a teacher educator, and an educational researcher, and recently completed her PhD in education before launching Yervika in March of 2024.

This is a conversation about herbs and so much more. We touch on the suppression of herbal knowledge throughout history and its impact on our connection to our past. We discuss how reclaiming this knowledge empowers individuals by reconnecting them to their ancestry, offers greater agency over our wellbeing and serves as a form of activism in service of the Earth.
