Miriam Latif

Miriam Latif is a herbalist and mentor who is less concerned with plants and the body, and more curious about the personal and cultural stories that define our understanding and experience of health in the first place.

She holds conflicting truths – wellness is broken, and it has much to offer us, if we can learn to be critical and curious.

Her mission is to radically change wellness culture by telling different stories about what it means to be well – stories rooted in collectivism, relationship and the complexities of being human, together.

Tuesday 16 September, 4PM-5PM

Surfacing the stories our culture has internalised about “wellness”, alongside a call to radically rewrite what it means to be well.
