Based on a collective desire to dive deeper into what we learned in the intro to herbalism immersion, this part 2 immersion will serve as our opportunity to put theory into practice. In this 6 month herbalism journey we will be  deepening our relationship with the plants—from seed to harvest.

This immersion 2.0 will take place on Plants to the People farm where we grow herbs for our mutual-aid plant distribution, make herbal remedies, and share space with the plants throughout the seasons. This 6-7 month study will be an opportunity to grow alongside the plants we are tending to, develop a new level of intimacy with the land, and dive deeper into individual and collective care.

This knowledge share explores how poetry, walking, and attention to place can help us understand our relationships to land, climate, and each other. Using MaKshya Tolbert’s Shade is a place as a starting point, the workshop looks at shade—especially tree shade—as a site of rest, care, memory, and Black sense of place.

Participants will engage with the project’s practices (such as shade walks and shade studies) to reflect on how environments shape interior life, how climate and social conditions are felt in the body, and how slowing down can be a form of care and resistance. The workshop centers conversation and reflection rather than production, inviting participants to think about where they live and move, how they relate to their surroundings, and what it means to “begin again” in changing ecological and social conditions.

The intention for this Intro to Herbalism IN PERSON immersion is to grow each individual’s awareness and relationship to their own internal ecology, territory they are on and the messages the plants growing in the North East bioregion are sharing with us. These four sessions aim to activate observational skills and curiosity to learn about the beings growing and living around and with us, whether we live in an urban landscape or not. We will also be learning basic medicine making to support your self and loved ones.
