Join us this winter for a deep dive into the foundations of plant magic and herbal medicine practice. One Sunday of each of the dark and snowy months from November through April, we will gather to explore botany, material medica, energetics, medicine making, body systems, and community care philosophy, rooted in a healing justice framework — each cup of tea leaves examined through queer, feminist, and anti-capitalist lenses. This project will be offered in popular education-style facilitated learning; students will be offered homework and asked to shared the fruits of their research at each class. The curriculum includes current science relating to herbal and food medicine, experiential observation, sensory-motor data gathering, intuitive and subtle-body studies, and fundamental practical experiences of kitchen-table herbalism.
