Workshop: The Importance of Herbs for Garden Ecosystems
Herbs have many virtues for garden ecosystems and need to be understood as integral to garden spaces. As such, incorporating herbs into new and old garden spaces should be done consciously and intentionally. This workshop explores the virtues of herbs for garden ecosystems, and engages participants in a discussion about specific herbs’ virtues for edible crops, for soil, for insects, and for the garden’s human tenders.

Beyond the Sip: A Deeper Journey into Nervous System Herbs
This follow-up workshop is designed for those who attended our first nervous system tea-making session and want to deepen their understanding of the herbs we explored. Through guided discussion, we’ll reflect on our personal experiences with our tea blends—how they’ve supported our nervous systems, the subtle (or profound) shifts we’ve noticed, and what we’ve learned from consistent use. We’ll also take a closer look at the actions, energetics, and traditional uses of these herbs, strengthening our knowledge and confidence in working with them.

Jewish Ancestral Herbalism
Join Sephardic-Ashkenazi herbalist Danièle Fogel and Ashkenazi herbalist Lia Leibman for a transformative 3-part Jewish ancestral workshop exploring the sacred traditions of Jewish folk healing, herbalism, and protection magic. In this 3-part series, we will immerse ourselves in the ancestral wisdom of Jewish folk medicine, Jewish healing worldviews, the evil eye, spirits, and common herbs, practices, and rituals that many Jews have relied upon for millenia. From garlic to Saint John’s Wort to rose, we will discuss how and why certain herbs were grown and used, weaving in both botanical folklore and medicinal uses.
