Fall Harvest: Herbs for Ancestor Remembrance
In recognition of Transgender Day of Remembrance and National Day of Mourning, join us for a workshop to celebrate our Trans and Indigenous Ancestors.
Participants will harvest fresh herbs (including Rosemary, Lavender, and Marigold), prepare herbs for making tea and incense bundles, and share stories about our Trans and Indigenous Ancestors.
We will open by building a collective altar, so feel free to bring an item that connects you to your Ancestors. At the end of our workshop, we will take down the altar and participants are asked to carry home what they brought with them.
All other materials will be provided; face masks (N95 or better) are encouraged. thanks and see ya then
