Plants of Remembrance: A Dia de Muertos Herbalism Workshop

Plants of Remembrance: Ancestral Herbalism & Plant Spirit Medicine for the Time of the Ancestors

with Brittany Huehuexochitl Acosta

Sunday, October 25th from 5:30-7:30pm

Join us for an educational and experiential herbalism class exploring the relationship between plants, ancestral remembrance and the traditional practices of tending to the dead. Rooted in Folk Herbalism, Plant Spirit Medicine and Traditional Medicine ways we will explore three categories of plant allies: plants associated with memory and remembrance, plants associated with offerings and connection, and plants associated with protection and cleansing.

Through this exploration students will learn how to begin or deepen their ancestral practices, including making offerings, cultivating relationships with their ancestors and understanding how to approach lineage woundings and ancestors in need of care and discernment.

We will learn how to tend to both our external/physical ancestral altars, and explore how ancestral relationships live within our own internal altar and world: through memory, emotions and the ways our lineages continue to move through us.

Students will have the opportunity to create a personalized ancestral flower essence blend from a curated selection of essences. This offers a tangible way to begin embodying ancestral practices with subtle plant spirit medicine and continue their work after the class ends.

Brittany Huehuexochitl Acosta is an Alchemical Hypnosis and Curanderismo Practitioner focused on emotional healing and lineage repair through traditional medicine. She supports clients in tending the roots of imbalance through subconscious work and earth based practices within her practice, Roots of Copal.
