Speakers at Herb Fest Portugal
At Herb Fest Portugal, our speakers are the heart of the festival: masters of herbal medicine, researchers, practitioners, and visionaries who share stories, ancestral practices, and new discoveries. Each speaker has been carefully selected for their expertise, passion, and commitment to herbal wisdom. During the festival, you will have the opportunity to learn, get inspired, and connect with those who live, breathe, and study the power of plants—for healing, for the community, and for the future.
