Join NATIVE HEALTH’s Traditional Garden Program for From Seed to Smudge: Traditional Medicine Series on Thursday, September 3, Tuesday, September 8, and Thursday, September 10, all from 5:30-7pm at NATIVE HEALTH Central, 4041 N Central Avenue – Phoenix!
In this series, we will learn about sweetgrass, sage and cota (Navajo Tea) from the process of seed, to braiding/bundling, to smudging. In our first class, Yoseph El of Planted Alchemist will teach us the ways to plant these medicines and how to care for them as they grow. Each attendee will receive these seeds to plant at home.
In our second class, Elicia Goodsoldier will teach us about the cultural relevance, uses and bundling process of sage. Each attendee will receive a sage smudge stick to burn at home.
In our final class, Yoseph El will teach us about the cultural relevance, uses and offer a demonstration on the braiding of sweetgrass. Each attendee will receive a sweetgrass braid to bring home with them.
The first 30 people to register and attend all of these sessions will receive a copy of the books “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer and “Held By the Land” by Leigh Joseph.
Open to Indigenous families and individuals. Registration is required.
