Rose Rothfeder

Hi, I’m Rose. I’m a Jewitch - I come from a lineage of Ashkenazi Jews from Poland and Pagans and witches of the Celtic Isles / France; my people eventually came to Turtle Island (North America) through waves of settler colonialism. I traversed cities, mountains, forests, deserts, oceans, rolling hills - guided by the quiet yet persistent whispering from my ancestors - and eventually found my way to learn from and with the plants at the California School of Herbal Studies. I am deeply grateful to the many teachers who have fortified my training: Jen Bredesen, Karen Aguiar, Bryan Bowen, frieda kipar bay, Camille Freeman, and ultimately the Plants - the wisest teachers of all.  

Are we an aligned pair?

I work best with those who are:

• willing to orient toward slow, longer term shifting rather than instantaneous results

• curious about and/or wanting and/or needing to investigate the emotional roots / components of health challenges

• open to / curious about animist values

• open to / curious about considering the role of over-cultural* and ancestral patterns in your family, body, life

*overculture: a term coined by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes that describes the dominant culture in society, whose mores, traditions and customs are “normally” followed in public. In her words: “To my thinking -the Overculture has some good things to recommend it, but also it is far too often a force and intent to shape, trim and mal-form and diminish and enslave.”
