About the Event:
Join us for an evening of ‘Rituales y Remedios’ in celebration of the launch of “Latine Herbalism”. We will gather in an evening of story, wisdom, and practice. Together we will create a custom flower ‘remedio’ inspired by the book. This will be an evening of enchantment as we dive into the world of modern Latine Folk Traditions.
Latine Herbalism details the medicinal power of herbs and plants, their origins, and their most common uses while also exploring the folk traditions from sacred locations in the US, Mexico, and South America. Discover the art of modern curanderismo as you explore the rich history behind modern-day herbal remedies, natural recipes, plant medicine, holistic rituals, and more practiced by curanderos(as) across the Americas.
