🧴 Tallow & Tenderness: A Salve-Making Workshop
Thursday, July 24, 2025
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM PDT
Location: Black Food Sovereignty Coalition
Join us for an intimate, hands-on workshop facilitated by Carriese Broussard, where we’ll craft a deeply healing herbal salve from start to finish. Using farm-raised cow tallow, beeswax, herbs lovingly grown and harvested at the CROPS farm, and luscious shea butter sourced from a Black-owned business, this workshop offers more than just a DIY experience—it’s an invitation into ancestral wisdom, collective care, and land-based healing.
Together we’ll:
- Learn the properties and cultural lineage of tallow, beeswax, herbs, and shea in skin healing
- Engage in collective salve-making
- Explore traditional and contemporary uses for salves
- Connect in community around our relationship to land, lineage, and wellness
✨ Each participant will leave with their own handmade salve and the knowledge to continue crafting at home.
