For all those who give care: paid and unpaid, seen and unseen.
Welcome parents, guardians, service and health care providers, mental health practitioners, domestic workers, organizers, educators, and all those who do the potent work of supporting the survival of others.
In this participatory herbal workshop on taking care of ourselves and each other, we’ll explore herbal allies, nourishment practices for inward listening, simple embodiment practices, and rituals for sustaining our energy for the long haul. Let’s spend 2 hours together, nourishing ourselves and receiving as much as we give. You'll take away a set of ideas and practices to help you keep refilling your cup, day after day.
Because in these times we need you; we need your care; we need you to be cared for.
