Twin Star Tribe
Community Herbalism, Sacred Travel + Ritual Practice
Remembering Our Medicine, Rebuilding in Community
Twin Star Tribe is a spirit-centered school of Herbalism and Energetic Arts, devoted to restoring the ancient ways of plant medicine and earth-based wisdom. We offer community classes, immersive workshops, and professional certificate programs in Herbalism, Flower Essence Therapy, Green Witch Traditions, as well as our Sacred Travel experiences.
Founded by Lupo Passero, Twin Star is guided by a community of heart-led teachers who share their wisdom through experiential, land-based education. Together, we cultivate spaces where plants, people, and place come into deeper relationship.
Twin Star Tribe is deeply rooted in community, with two beloved locations: Twin Star North, nestled in the rolling hills of Western Connecticut, and Twin Star South, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of Asheville, NC.

Herbalism and astrology were once inseparable branches of the same sacred science, practiced by healers who understood that the movements of the heavens were mirrored in the medicines of the Earth.

TANYA DONTATELLI, Herbalist & owner of oak fairy apothecary
“In my three years at Twin Star, I have found it to be an invaluable resource for herbal knowledge, experience, and community. I have made lifelong friends out of both people and plants, and Lupo and Bekah do an amazing job of helping each individual student find their place in the craft. Twin Star made it possible for me to understand the call I've been hearing to herbalism my whole life, and I am forever grateful for it!”

Support our relief efforts
In September 2025, Hurricane Helene swept through our region here in Appalachia at Twin Star South, leaving devastation in its wake. Our community came together in resilience and care, joining with local herbalists to launch a Mutual Aid Collective providing direct relief, getting herbal medicine, food, and supplies into the hands of those most affected.
At the same time, we faced the heartbreaking loss of our own classroom space, which was completely destroyed in the storm. We have started a fundraiser to help us continue to rebuild, so we can continue to offer education, community gatherings, and a place of healing for years to come.
When you give, you are not only supporting our disaster relief efforts, you are also helping us rebuild a home for our students and community.
Honoring Herbalism As an Oral Tradition
Stories, Wisdom & Voices
The Ritual Herbalism Podcast is devoted to exploring how we heal in relationship with the Earth, our ancestors, and ourselves. Hosted by herbalist, flower essence practitioner, and educator Lupo Passero, each episode invites you to slow down, tune in, and remember your place within nature’s rhythm, through the lens of plant medicine, ritual, and ancestral remembrance.
HEATHER WRIGHT FITZGERALD, Herbalist & owner of tea & tarot
“Twin Star showed up in my life when I most needed community. After only one class, I felt like I had come home. I've spent the last 4+ years taking anything and everything I've had time for. I've learned a wealth of herbal knowledge, and been introduced to topics I would never have known without them. Lupo's style is engaging, pulling you out of the classroom and into nature so you can experience herbalism in person, firsthand whenever possible. I have genuinely loved every class I have ever taken and look forward to taking many others in the future!”
