Relevant Remedies

Relevant Remedies is a “soft workshop” meant to address key topics such as Foraging,Harvesting & Processing Practices, and Communal Skill/Informational Exchange by creatinga circular “show-and-tell/storytelling atmosphere” where participants will share their own relevant remedies they’ve learned through life experience or friends/family. Hence the term “Relevance,” we want to prioritize plants and materials that are found in our respective communities and are likely accessible to most, if not all. This can look like mushrooms, seeds, herbs, etc.

Relevant Remedies are things you can find on your walk home, in the garden, or sometimes

grocery store. At some point, home herbal remedies have saved each of us from colds,

cramps, fevers, and worse – whether they were learned from a parent, friend, or even

natural discovery, return the power of health to the people. These can come in the form of

syrups, tinctures, soups, infusions, etc.

Join us for a night of reciprocation and storytelling as we sit to share remedies, hacks, facts that are relevant to us. Be sure to bring a recipe and/or story to accompany your remedy!

We will have a remedy “scribe” that will record the remedies that participants are sharing

so that they can be compiled and shared with the participants and eventually, the greater

community.
