In this gathering we will explore how taking care of families, parents to be, toddlers, children, and babies with plant medicine contributes to the healing of our communities. In this plant medicine workshop, we’ll learn how community plant gathering and medicine making with our mineral-rich native plants were strong and essential parts of our community health. We’ll discuss how these plants grew in our fields and gardens in times of abundance and how these were used in healing baths and as seasonings and the base of our traditional meals used during the community event of childbirth. This is an in-person event at 4920 Rio Grande Blvd NW.
