Rooting Down To Rise Up:
A Live Gathering with Asia Dorsey & Bones, Bugs, and Botany
For generations, healers have turned to plants not just for remedies, but for the deep wisdom they carry. In this live training, Asia Dorsey—herbalist, community organizer, founder of Bones, Bugs, and Botany, and guest educator in Ecoversity’s 100-Hour Herbalism Program—invites you into the practice of rootwork as a path to healing and embodied liberation.
Rootwork is the traditional African American body-mind practice of herbalism, weaving plant wisdom with practical, everyday applications that nurture resilience and well-being. In this session, we’ll explore the energetic patterns of spring and how they influence our inner and outer landscapes. Through the gifts of spring’s medicinal roots and nourishing foods, you’ll learn simple, powerful remedies to support your nervous system, emotional balance, and personal empowerment.
With Asia’s unique blend of seasonal healing, traditional rootwork, and hands-on medicine making, you’ll walk away with practices to ground yourself in the rhythms of the earth—and tools to bring herbal wisdom into your daily life.
Whether you’re just beginning or deepening your herbal path, this session offers insight, inspiration, and a meaningful way to reconnect with the plants, the land, and yourself.

Asia Dorsey
Bioregional Herbalist, Educator, and Founder Bones, Bugs, and Botany
Asia Dorsey was raised by a collective of radical aunties, uncles and her grandmother Betty Jo in the Historic Five Points community in Denver, the ancestral home of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapahoe peoples. Infused with the Jazz of the “Harlem of the West,” Asia has developed new frontiers of healing and earth based relationship not through the erasure of the past and its peoples, but the melodious recombination, reintegration and regeneration of ancestral wisdoms.
