Join El for this rose tea and self-care workshop at Proud2Be’s November free day of connection, care, & uplifting community.

In this hour-long session we’ll explore our relationships to plants, and introduce various ways of connecting with them to enrich our lives. Bringing in some seasonal plants growing around us, El will introduce ways of bringing them into our homes and communities as food, medicine and friends!

El and Bernie will offer opportunities to connect with the land at GROW through meditation and grounding practices, followed by a foraging walk. This will involve sharing skills in plant identification, nutrition and medicinal benefits, as well as responsible and ethical foraging practices. We will then spend some time connecting to one particular plant that we meet, and get to know them through guided tasting and mindfulness.

A space for queer folks to gather beyond binary and to tend to our intimate relationships with more-than-human spheres. We'll explore divine animacy, intentional plant allyship and collective ritual practice, welcoming and celebrating the beings and the elements that surround us on the land.

Meeting and learing about edible and medicinal plants on the land at Fountain Violet Farm, Dartmouth, and then cooking them to enjoy a shared lunch!
