Healing Father Wounds Herbal Workshop (The Bronx)

Join us for the Healing Father Wounds Urban Hike, a guided experience exploring the connection between foraging, plant medicine, and healing. Herbalist Maeka Brown will lead us from her favorite herbalist shop to a local park in the Bronx, where she’ll teach us how to ethically forage and introduce us to herbs that are especially powerful for healing father wounds.

This isn’t just about learning which plants to brew into tea—it’s about deepening our relationship with the land, our bodies, and our personal healing journeys. We first met Maeka at our Glamping Retreat last year, and we’re so grateful to collaborate with her this year. Come join us as we walk, learn, and create space for reflection, connection, and healing through the wisdom of the earth.

About the urban hike: We’re kicking off at a local herbal shop before heading to a nearby park for a plant identification walk. Along the way, we’ll slow down, learn how to ethically forage, and get to know the healing properties of local herbs. It’s all about deepening our connection to the land, exploring how plants can support our healing, and spending time in good company.

Reclama is a reclaim themselves through hiking and journaling.

We want to make sure those who come through Reclama, no matter their lack of experience, have the opportunity to connect with nature on their own terms. It’s time we reclaim our space in nature to honor our spirituality and ancestral heritage so we can move forward as a collective.
