Connecting to Our Roots: Rekindling our Healing Relationship with Plants (2023)

In this workshop, we dive into the histories involved in creating what is now considered to be “western herbal medicine”. We will explore the ways that humans have evolved with plants over time to form highly intertwined relationships and mutualism, and how being in relation with them can support our own healing journeys. While plants are capable of supporting us in a number of different ways, in this workshop we will be honing in on stress, an emotion that we are all too familiar with. We will also be exploring our bodies’ physiological stress responses, the ways stress has been passed down generationally (epigenetics), and the ways that our ancestral knowledge of the plants has been passed down with it.
