What We Do
We’re a growing community of herbal companies, producers, and practitioners. Together, we’re reimagining how herbs are sourced, processed, and brought to market.
Our Approach
We bring diverse stakeholders together to tackle complex sustainability challenges. Through collaborative innovation, we foster new practices rooted in equity, respect, and reciprocity.
Our monthly virtual gatherings create space for peer learning and relationship-building. Members share case studies, insights, and real-world challenges in an ongoing supportive environment.
The Questions That Drive Us
What becomes possible when we move from extraction to reciprocity? From short-term thinking to long-term care? From isolation to connection?
What might change if we slow down and listen more deeply? To each other, to ourselves, and to the plants?
How We Work
Through virtual and in-person Learning Labs, Learning Journeys, and ongoing working groups, we create space for reflection, collaboration, and concrete action.
These programs are rooted in the belief that when aligned with values and community, business can be a force for healing.
Our Vision
Together, we’re building the foundation for a different kind of herbal industry. One that recognizes the aliveness of the world and acts accordingly.
Learning Labs and Learning Journeys
Learning Labs
Learning Labs are the heart of SHI’s systems-change work. These facilitated sessions invite participants to look beyond symptoms and explore the structural and cultural patterns that shape the herbal industry.
Learning Journeys
Learning Journeys are immersive, place-based gatherings that invite industry leaders to engage directly with the landscapes, communities, and ecosystems most affected by sourcing decisions.
Working Groups
Our member-led Working Groups turn insight into action. These collaborative teams address specific challenges facing the industry—developing tools, resources, and strategies to deepen impact and improve standards.
