Community Medicine Making for Black Trans Macs Identifying Community Members
In collaboration with Black Trans Masc Collective (@blacktransmasccollective), we’re offering an intentional space exclusively for Black, Trans Masculine folks to be in community while creating herbal medicines to support the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being throughout the transition process. Community medicine making sessions ground in the spiritual and physical elements of these plant teachers before stepping into hands-on medicine making that is led by our Apothecary Steward revel.
Everyone will leave with medicine to take home and use + create more medicine for future community members to enjoy.
Together we’ll make:
• herbal testosterone boosting tinctures
• pain salves
• tea blends that honor the joy and grief that comes with transitions
Note: This is a closed space for those identifying as Black, Trans / Masc only.

So, if you've completed the form at another space (Fruitvale, Ancestral Healing Farm, etc) since mid-April, let the team know. If not, click this link to complete it.

From seasoned and trained herbalist to those just stepping into their practice, our space welcomes you. We are located near Downtown Oakland.
