Alberta Herb Gathering 2026
September 11–13, 2026 | Camp Kasota East, near Sylvan Lake, AB
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Alberta Herbalists Association, we gather for the Alberta Herb Gathering at Camp Kasota East, a beautiful lakeside camp near Sylvan Lake, Alberta, on Treaty 6 territory and within the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
This peaceful, lake-centered setting offers the perfect space for learning, connection, and celebration — a place to slow down, gather in community, and spend time with the land and each other.
We are currently working hard behind the scenes to shape this year’s gathering, including workshops, teachers, experiences, and schedules. More details will be released regularly, so we encourage you to check back often as the gathering unfolds.
Call for Workshop Hosts & Presenters
We are actively seeking herbalists, educators, and community members to share their skills, knowledge, and passions. If you’re interested in hosting a workshop or offering an experience, we would love to hear from you.
Mark your calendar, stay connected, and join us as we prepare to gather by the lake for a truly special year.
