Ancestral Herbalism & Tea Blending Workshop
Reconnect with ancestral plant wisdom through herbalism and tea making
Rooted in African and African American traditions, this hands-on class invites participants — especially those from Black communities across the diaspora — to explore healing, heritage, and connection through herbs with herbalist, tea maker, and educator Monica of Lakay Goods. Participants will learn the foundations of herbal medicine, go on a guided plant walk, and craft their own personalized tea blend. We’ll close with reflection and shared resources to support your ongoing journey.
What’s Included:
Introduction to herbal medicine: types, categories, preparation, and safety
Discussion of ancestral herbal knowledge in Black traditions
Guided herbal walk and plant identification on the farm Hands-on tea blending session
Reflection circle and resource sharing
Leave with new skills, your own tea blend, and a deeper connection to the plants and your roots. Register today.
This class is free and open to participant ages 12+. Attendees under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult 25 or older.
