About Jennifer: Jennifer Monroy is a community herbalist and founder of Erekani Herbs — a small-batch apothecary rooted in the belief that healing begins with the earth.
Raised with a deep respect for traditional plant medicine, Jennifer weaves Indigenous wisdom and Western herbalism into her teachings.
After walking her own healing path, she found her purpose in helping others rediscover the simple, powerful remedies growing all around us.

Registration and Tuition
Regular Tuition: $50*
Registration is open until the class is full or the start date.
Instead of a scholarship program, I am offering Sliding Scale tuition rates for this class series. I have been exploring different ways to make my offerings more accessible, while still working for a sustainable income stream for my family. If you are interested in learning more about Sliding Scale as a tool for Economic Justice, please check out this article by Alexis J. Cunningfolk. The descriptions of the different tiers are pulled from her article.
Full Price Tuition represents the true value for the workshop series. "If you have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services."
Tiers 1 and 2 are referred to as The Middle Costs and "reflects the practitioner's acknowledgement that paying the full cost would prevent some folks from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest."
Tier 3 - is referred to as the Bottom Cost and "represents an honest acknowledgment by the teacher and practitioner that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of classes if there was not a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities."
When registering for the series and selecting which tier is best for you, please keep in mind that if you select a lower tier and you can afford a higher tier, you are limiting access to the workshop series for people who truly need financial flexibility. Two of the most important goals for me as an herbalist are connecting people to the plants and building community. By fairly contributing what you can in tuition, you are helping me reach these goals for our community.

Seagate School of Holistic Herbalism
Kathryn Sisler Waple, Founder and Director of Seagate School of Holsitic Herbalism, Gray Cat Botanicals and the Southeast North Carolina Herbal Conference began her official journey with plants as an apprentice to Corinna Wood, founder and former director of Red Moon Herbs in 2007. After her apprenticeship, she moved back to Wilmington and founded Castle Street Community Gardens, which she managed from 2008-2011.
From 2014 to 2021 she was the Director of Nature Connect NC, an experiential outdoor homeschool enrichment program. In 2023, she founded the Southeast North Carolina Herbal Conference, which had a wildly successful 1st Annual event in November of 2024. She has been working with plants and teaching hands-on workshops in the community continuously since 2008. She hopes to inspire in students a lifelong desire to develop a deeper relationship with plants, and the confidence to work with medicinal herbs safely and effectively.
