Doll Herbalism

​ACUTE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS HERBS Plants as agency during times of crisis and despair.

​Doll Herbalism in collaboration with the Astoria Trans Collective, the Astoria Food Pantry, and Astoria School of Plant Wisdom, is thrilled to offer this November in-person interactive workshop.

​Ayelet is an herbalist, a health educator, a product maker and a plant and ecosystem lover. Through her practice, Doll Herbalism, she specializes in herbal blends for health goals, emotional wellbeing and vibes that meet the needs of transsexuals, queers, freaks, rabble rousers, providers and those who love us. She takes pride in crafting effective blends that also utilize flavor and taste. Ayelet believes in plant medicine as a gateway to connection with the earth and ecosystems around us.

​Ayelet's primary entry point into herbalism was experiencing how different tinctures and teas can help shift her emotional state of being when her is going through it. 

​In this introductory workshop we will discuss different emotionally supportive herbs, their properties, tastes, energetics and actions. We will discuss different ways distress can show up in our bodies and experiences and how different plants and formulations can be match made to different emotional and physiological states. We will taste some Doll Herbalism blends, simples and teas in order to see for ourselves how the herbs affect us in the moment, as we are the ultimate deciders of how anything medicinal might feel for us.

​Payment is $35 suggested, $15-$50 sliding scale. 5 NOTAFLOF spots for BIPOC trans people.
