Sean Donahue is an herbalist, poet, activist, and witch committed to healing and transformation through connection with the living Earth.
As an herbalist, Sean works primarily with the wild plants of the forests and fields of New England. He views the plants as teachers, helping the body, mind, and spirit learn to correct imbalances that stand in the way of health. While he has learned primarily from the plants themselves, he is deeply indebted to teachers including Mischa Schuler, Gail Faith Edwards, Melanie Rose, Tommy Priester, Madelon Hope, and Stephen Harrod Buhner for helping him deepen his connection with the plants and develop and sharpen his clinical skills.
He serves as an advisor to the Maine Marijuana Policy Initiative and Maine Citizens for Patients Rights and oversees holistic first aid tents at music festivals in western Maine for Cowpasture Productions.
As a teacher, poet, and ritualist, Sean works to connect people with their own wild nature and with the life of the world around them.
As an activist and journalist he has documented the human and environmental impacts of U.S. policies in Latin America, organized against nuclear power and nuclear weapons, trained hundreds of activists in techniques of nonviolent resistance, helped military families tell the stories of how the war in Iraq impacted their lives, and advocated for the rights of medical marijuana patients.
He believes that personal, community, and cultural healing are all deeply intertwined with the healing of our planet.
