Herbalism is personal, communal, political, healing, full of wisdom, mysterious, and rooted in history and culture. Come learn from multiple perspectives with an incredible panel, and enjoy a delicious thyme and lemongrass infusion that you can drink on your own (included) or add to a signature mocktail made by Gold Lion's incredible bartnender, Holly.
The panel includes:
Alyssa Hard - Herbalist
Chelsea Higgs Wise - Co-Founder of Marijuana Justice Virginia
Diane O'Neal - Apprenticed in La’au lapa’au - Hawaiian traditional spiritual + herbal healing, for two years under one lineage and a second lineage for one year.
Erin Lee Henshaw - Healed mold toxicity with Chinese herbs/medicine
Khetnu Nefer - Gullah Geechee holistic health practitioner and massage therapist
Will E. Nelson - Urban gardener and plant medicine activist/advocate
The infusion demonstration will be led by herbalist Katy Rugg.
Our hope is that you will leave feeling more curious, more connected, and empowered to learn more and explore herbalism in the ways that resonate most with you.
This event is a fundraiser to support Highland Support Project's work.
