PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC) presents its Earthseed Series spring speaker, Brooke Marie Bridges, on Wednesday, April 15 at 12:30 p.m. 

 

Bridges will speak on "The Mind-Body-Earth Protocol: A Radical Framework for Integrated Healing." The talk will take place on BCC's main campus, located at 1350 West Street, Pittsfield, in Room K111. 

 

The talk is free and open to all, and registration is not required. 

 

According to a press release: 

 

Bridges is a holistic coach dedicated to the intersection of internal wellness and ancestral wisdom. By integrating Earth-based healing, such as herbalism and nature immersion, with evidence-based modalities like somatic and cognitive behavioral therapies, she facilitates a deep, restorative connection between the self and the natural world. 

 

In her talk, Bridges asks, how do we lead when the ground is shifting? Her immersive keynote speech blends somatic healing, storytelling and herbal wisdom. Grounded in the mind-body-Earth framework, Bridges guides listeners through a sensory journey to reclaim resilience. Attendees will experience a collective tea ritual, somatic rooting and ecological mentorship as they learn to adapt, grow and thrive together. Every attendee will receive a signature grounding tea blend. 

 

Earthseed Speaker events are open to students, staff, faculty, alumni, OLLI members and the public. The next Skillshare component, Farm and Forage for Holistic Healing, will take place on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. Details and registration are forthcoming.
