Registration and purchase is required for Rooted & Regulated Series

Come on a journey on our farm where we learn the art of herbalism and emotional regulation in nature – as it’s intended – awakening our senses and connecting with ourselves and the plants.

What if learning herbalism meant engaging your whole self.
Through cooking and medicine making, smelling and tasting, sensing and trusting your intuition?

What if, alongside learning the plants, you learned to listen more deeply to your body—understanding the signals of your nervous system and the emotions moving through you?

What would it be like to practice regulation not as something to force, but as something you cultivate—through touch, movement, breath, rhythm, and relationship with the plants growing around you?

This workshop series invites you into a traditional, embodied approach to herbalism—one that weaves together hands-on medicine making, somatic practice, and emotional regulation in relationship with land and season.

Here, the plants are teachers.
Your body is a source of knowledge.
And healing unfolds through presence, practice, and connection.

Workshop Series Invitation

Many people sense that something deeper is missing—something that can’t be found through productivity, information, or doing more. It can be hard to name what that missing piece is, but again and again, people find themselves drawn toward plants, therapy, and the land.

This isn’t a trend or coincidence. It’s a remembering. Remembering that we can reconnect with belonging–both with each other and to our ecosystems.

Over time, working with plants reveals that herbalism is not just about remedies or recipes. It is about relationship—learning to listen, to slow down, and to feel supported by something older and steadier than us. Plants offer a grounding presence beyond what words or advice alone can provide. They meet us where we are.

This workshop series invites you into that relationship—through hands-on medicine making, sensory awareness, somatic and embodied practices, and nervous system support. Together, we’ll explore how emotional regulation can be practiced through the body, through rhythm, and through connection with the living world.

The plants become companions in this work—supporting the heart, the nervous system, and the process of coming home to yourself. As you build relationship with them, you may find greater clarity, steadiness, and trust in your own inner guidance.

This is not about mastering herbalism.
It is about tending relationship—with plants, with your body, and with your life.

Sliding Scale Pricing

We believe access to mental health support, embodied learning, and herbal education should not come with the burden of financial hardship. Our workshops are offered on a sliding scale to support equity, sustainability, and community care.

We invite participants to choose the rate that best reflects their current financial circumstances.

Sliding Scale Options

• Full Rate – For those who are able to pay the full cost of the workshop.

• 75% Rate – For those who can contribute most of the cost but need some support.

• 50% Rate – For those for whom the full rate would create financial strain. No documentation is required. We trust you to choose honestly and in alignment with your situation.

Cost of entire series:

Full Rate: $1000 This cost reflects facilitator’s time, materials, supplies, and prep work that goes into each workshop

75% Rate: $750 This cost reflects materials, supplies, and prep work that goes into each workship

50% Rate: $500 This cost reflects materials and supplies for the series.

Cost for an individual workshop:

Full Rate: $110 This cost reflects compensation for facilitator’s time, materials, supplies, and prep work that goes into each workshop

75% Rate: $84 This cost reflects materials, supplies, and prep work that goes into each workshop

50% Rate: $55 This cost reflects materials and supplies for 1 workshop

Why a Sliding Scale?

Access to healing, education, and community should not be limited by income, employment status, or financial stress. Offering a sliding scale allows us to welcome people with varied financial realities while continuing to sustain the land, materials, and labor that make this work possible.

Those who pay the full rate help support others in the community who need reduced pricing. This shared model allows the workshops to remain accessible, relational, and rooted in collective care.

Choosing Your Rate

If paying the full rate would cause hardship, we encourage you to choose a reduced rate without guilt or explanation. If you are able to pay the full rate, your contribution helps ensure these offerings remain available to others.

All participants receive the same experience, materials, and care—regardless of the rate selected.

What to Expect

Opening & Arrival

Each workshop begins with a grounding and orientation practice, helping participants arrive in their bodies, connect to the land, and establish a sense of safety and presence.

We then move into optional small-group sharing, offering space for connection, reflection, and relational support as we begin the day. Sharing is always invitational—listening is just as welcome as speaking.

Workshop Structure

While each gathering is shaped by the season and the plants available, workshops generally follow a gentle, predictable rhythm to support nervous system ease.

• Breath, movement, or sensory-based exercises

• Establishing consent, choice, and pacing for the day

Sensory Farm Exploration

• Walking the farm with attention to smell, touch, sound, and sight

• Learning specific plants and plant communities that are in season

• Exploring how seasonal shifts relate to mental and emotional health

Embodied Plant Tending

• Hands-on engagement with plants, which may include:

  • Weeding

  • Harvesting

  • Processing herbs

Somatics, Mental Health & Integration

Throughout the day, we intentionally weave in:

• Somatic practices to support regulation and awareness

• Gentle movement and rest as needed

• Time for reflection and integration

• Psychoeducation grounded in nervous system science and person-centered mental health principles

Practices are always choice-based and adaptable. Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies, take breaks, and engage in ways that feel supportive.

Closing & Integration

We close each workshop with:

• A brief integration or grounding practice

• Space for reflection and questions

• Support for transitioning back into daily life

Workshops conclude at 3:30pm. Jene is available for individual questions until 4:30pm

Facilitator — Jene Farr

Rooted & Regulated is facilitated by Jene Farr, a licensed mental health counselor, herbalist, and farmer.

Jene has owned and operated Harbor Herbalist Tea since 2010, where they have spent over a decade working closely with medicinal plants, creating a popular line of herbal teas, herbal education, and supporting others in developing meaningful relationships with plant medicine. Alongside this work, Jene owns Kitsap Family Counseling, where they bring a deep commitment to clinical mental health work, with a focus on emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and embodied person-centered care.

Jene and their spouse, Sonya, operate a medicinal plant farm in Port Orchard, Washington, where the Rooted & Regulated series takes place. The farm is both a working farm and a learning space—one that supports slowing down, sensory engagement, and connection with seasonal rhythms.

This workshop series reflects Jene’s passion for weaving together the best of both worlds: embodied mental health care and experiential herbalism rooted in relationship with land and community. Rooted & Regulated is designed to offer more than education alone—it is an invitation into belonging, shared learning, and embodied practice.

Through gentle facilitation, hands-on plant work, and trauma-informed somatic practices, Jene supports participants in building practical skills while also cultivating connection—to themselves, to others, and to the living world around them.
