trans herbalism circle

note: these gatherings are currently on hiatus as Max and I navigate chronic health issues.

stay tuned, we hope to restart them soon!

Join us for monthly circles for connection and peer support! As trans and gender blessed herbalists and plant people, we experience life with an added layer of richness and complexity. These spaces are intended for folks to connect, support each other and deepen networks of care. We may discuss plants we love, share resources and knowledge, and validation for the struggles that folks face as healing practitioners of diverse gender identities.

This circle will be co-facilitated by myself and Max (they/them) of any way we can herbs. We hope to collaborate with participants in shaping this container as we move forward together.

This circle is built on shared affinity for ever more accessible healing, anarchist political world views, and the importance of supportive community relationships.

Max and I are committed to redistributing at least half of all donations we receive towards QTBIPOC herbalism programs and community projects. The projects will be specified here once they are chosen. The rest we are hope to put toward (the few) admin costs, as well as toward building this initiative into a larger project, which will hopefully things like an online community, regular workshops and skillshares, digital resource sharing platforms and more.
