Join community herbalist Rasheeqa Ahmad of Hedge Herbs, based in London, for a knowledge-sharing and practical plant medicine workshop.

We will hear about the practice of herbal medicine in our healthcare ecologies today, its role in systems change that connects us with land and the wild, our ancestral beings and the current social justice movement.

Rasheeqa will offer an overview of simple herbal preparations that you can make at home, and go through the process of making one with you using plants of the season. We’ll share information beforehand so that you can gather the plants you may need in advance, allowing us to make the medicine together during the session.
