Upcoming In-Person Events
Herbalism Immersion 2.0 Apprenticeship
with Antonia Estela Pérez
Based on a collective desire to dive deeper into what we learned in the intro to herbalism immersion, this part 2 immersion will serve as our opportunity to put theory into practice. In this 6 month herbalism journey we will be deepening our relationship with the plants—from seed to harvest.
This immersion 2.0 will take place on Plants to the People farm where we grow herbs for our mutual-aid plant distribution, make herbal remedies, and share space with the plants throughout the seasons. This 6-7 month study will be an opportunity to grow alongside the plants we are tending to, develop a new level of intimacy with the land, and dive deeper into individual and collective care.

Planting Festival
Good Shepherd does so much for their people. We want to show up for them and their efforts in both celebration and support! This festival is the fruit of our shared commitments as a coalition of community groups focused on meeting the needs of our neighbors. From building raised beds to sharing skills, our goal for this Planting Festival is to fortify communities like Good Shepherd on the frontlines of multiple fights. How can we build solidarity? How can we tend to community in a way that fosters safety and self-determination? How can we build the foundation for food sovereignty? These are just some of the questions guiding our work—both the day of and throughout the long arc of neighborly love.
