What herbs give “grandma energy?” When we think of the medicines of our grandmothers, by blood and kinship, acts of deep service and care come to mind. You might imagine a good listener who aligns you with a more loving image of yourself by cooking you a hot, homemade meal. Likewise, you might think of herbs that are comforting, nourishing, or adaptogenic. But sometimes, grandmothers surprise us with their spice, which reminds us that they’re complex people who have loved, fought, partied, cried, and grown wiser from the beautiful messiness that is life.
In this workshop, we share the home remedies and medicines of our grandmothers, what they say about our family histories, and how our matriarchal spirits can help us heal lineages through herbs.
