🌻 EVENT DETAILS:

Before the advent of modern medicine, cultures all over the world relied on the medicine of our plant ancestors. Join us for an afternoon of exploring plant medicine in all of its facets: the uses of commonly available plants, foraging considerations for medicinal plants, and we’ll even share a few stories about a few of our plant elders - both native and displaced.

By the end of our session together, participants will have a deeper understanding of plant medicine, understand key techniques to plant-based first-aid, and will walk away with the start of their own apothecary kit.

🌞 This event will take outdoors at Kindness Farm.

🌲$10 suggested

Pay what you can. No one turned away.

🍄 Please get your tickets here before the event! This really helps us with logistics and preparing for the event.

🚙 PARKING

Please park on the farm side of the street anywhere up or down the street. Do NOT park on the grass across the street from the farm (you will see "No Parking" signs). This is important for safety vehicles to pass through. We reserve 2 driveway parking spots (in the gravel, on the right) for folks with accessibility needs.

🌼 ACCESSIBILTY INFORMATION

Venue is not certified ADA accessible. The farm's bathroom is not technically ADA accessible, but has been used by folks with wheelchairs. The majority of the farm itself is accessible, though not all parts are (we have some narrow pathways). Note that we use woodchips for the majority of our pathways.

🐝 COVID-19 & Other Illness:

If you’re feeling unwell, we kindly ask that you rest at home and join us another time. Masks are not required for this gathering, but you are encouraged to mask or distance in whatever way feels right for you.

🌷 ABOUT KAWIKA

Kawika Kalama is a multiracial māhū interdisciplinary teaching artist, scholar, weaver, poet, photographer, diviner, healer, and cultivator of land. They were born and raised in Troth Yeddha’ and Tth'eetoo' (Fairbanks, Alaska) by parents deeply rooted in subsistence, reverence for land, and traditional ways of being. Kalama’s work weaves place-based arts education, reindigenization, and cross-cultural community belonging into tangible, embodied experiences that collectively explore the sacred.

Kawika’s lineages hail from Cebu, Kaua’i, Guangdong, the Pretanic Isles, Norway, and France. They are eternally grateful for all the elders, culture bearers, and ancestors who laid the foundation for all they practice.
