Upcoming
Herbal First Aid for Community Resilience: Working With Plants In Times Of Crisis
June 28th / 11am
Herbalist Paige Emery will guide us in relationship in working with plants growing around us to support situations that call for first aid. Herbal first aid is always essential, but it feels especially potent in this time of the injustice of I.C.E. raids and escalating police violence while we’re still navigating the health risks from January’s wildfires.
Together, we’ll explore working with plants that strengthen our ability to take care of each other & the resilience of our community, especially in times of crisis.
We’ll announce the location (around Northeast LA) early in the week.
