Around this time last month, Antonia Pérez of @herban.cura joined us along with the Food Futures Group from @north.east.community.center to lead a day of herbal medicine making, hosted at @forgeprojectny. The workshop came out of Antonia’s initiative Plants to the People, which works to bring locally grown herbs and medicines to urban communities for free. They encouraged the youth to consider what medicines they felt like they needed personally, and introduced them to the plants that could best provide healing for themselves, their families and their neighborhoods. Everyone left with medicines distilled from herbs Antonia has been growing this season just minutes away. We’re lucky to have so many thoughtful leaders, students, and plant friends nearby to make peaceful, fruitful days like this possible. Thanks to @x__circles__x too for the best sourdough wood-fired pizza, and to @north.east.community.center for bringing their very own home-grown tomatoes and basil to top some of the pies off with. Circular indeed 💞🔮🌞 And thanks to @saramesahgal as usual for the 📸📸!
