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.
Join Herban Cura founder and herbalist Antonia Estela Pérez for a plant identification walk along the Mahicantuck River (Hudson River) in Washington Heights, NY, where will be meeting edible and medicinal plants and trees growing along the river.
This walk is for anyone looking to start their journey with plants or curious to learn more about them!

In this knowledge share, we will explore the ways Black and Indigenous people throughout the Americas have related to horses, and what those relationships can teach us about living collectively. From fugitive slaves escaping plantations on horseback to mounted protestors at the Dakota Access Pipeline Protests, horses have played a central role in Black and Indigenous survival, land stewardship, and memory work.
