Have you ever found yourself staring at a wall of tea boxes, wondering how to choose the best ready-made product for your goals?
Have you heard reports about sustainability issues with “superfoods” and are curious about effective alternatives?
In this workshop, you will gain skills to help you navigate the vast array of herbal products available in grocery stores, coops and pharmacies. We will think about ingredients and additives, dosing and preparation, sustainable sourcing, and creative and affordable ways to incorporate more herbs into your life even when an herb shop is out of reach.
As a queer and neurodivergent child, Lizzy found acceptance and companionship in the woods of New England. She was led to herbalism by way of an inexhaustible curiosity about the natural world, a belief in the inherent wisdom of humans and plants, and a call to caretaking as profound and sacred work. She is guided by values of radical acceptance, liberation, and wonder, and aims to provide an accessible space where kids, elders, and all those who feel marginalized within current systems of care can feel heard and held in their search for whatever brings them to our collaborative work.
