Presented by Berenice Dimas of Hood Herbalism
Herbalist, Educator, and Visionary
Our ancestors knew that having a relationship with the natural world was crucial for our survival. They left us a gift: ancient wisdom that shows us how to be in relationship and care for all that live around us. Part of our task is to continue their legacy and understand how to incorporate these teachings and practices in our daily lives. Healing ourselves and our community can start with shifting our relationship to the earth.
In this interactive workshop, we will revisit our relationships with plants, plant medicine, and ancestral healing practices. We will be making herbal medicine together to support us with stress and anxiety. The goal is for us to have a space to learn from the plants and notice what messages they have for us about how to move forward and deepen the connection we have with them, each other, and our communities.
We are, after all, leaving this earth for our future generations - so what are we leaving behind? How are we actively transforming ourselves and our environment for the betterment of the next seven generations?
