Greetings, I’m Ash!
Ash Ritter is an ethnobotanist & herbalist, botanical confectioner, and educator, drawing from 20 years experience in traditional, academic, and clinical herbalism settings.
One-on-one longterm apprenticeships are the cornerstone of her training, extending into Druid herbalism, clinical botanical medicine, Mexican & Peruvian curanderismo & "guerilla" urban first aid. Her bachelors degree thesis focused on botanical & fungal agents for initiation, and altered states as evolutionary technology.
Ash's longstanding commitment takes shape as gathering the remnants and forging a cohesive & unique synthesis that pays homage to past, present and future generations.
