Herbalism For Black Women Retreat
January 23 - February 13, 2024
Our roots run deep in herbal healing.
This 4 week Herbalism For Black Women Retreat will lay a foundational understanding of the rich history of melanated people using plants as medicine. We will explore some of Africa's medicinal plants, slave medicine traditions, modern medical science, and its findings on herbal medicine's validity. You will also learn about accessible herbs to have in the home, their benefits, and how to use them.
Black women have a right and a need to regain knowledge of our ancestors' healing powers. Each of these four topics is specifically intended to address ancient wisdom areas that Black women have systematically borne the brunt of. In some cases, for hundreds of years, this information has been hidden or repressed. Each of these ancient wisdom areas is rooted in African (black) traditions that have permeated the globe; traditions we hold natural abilities to awaken within ourselves by birthright.
This retreat is going to be amazing. You'll walk away knowing more about herbalism and plant medicine for healing.
