She has been teaching “Ethnobotany of California native plants” for over twenty years, and leads plant walks throughout the state.

Rulan Tangen will be leading a water of wellness workshop as a way of bringing movement and related arts to encourage re-connectedness with sense of place, nature, ritual, traditional heritage, and stories.
