SCHOLARSHIPS | CANCELLATION POLICY | MASK POLICY | PROOF OF VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS| WEATHER & COVID POLICY | BROOKLYN GRANGE COVID SAFETY PRACTICESDid you know that there’s a whole lot of information about the healing properties of plants already available to us before we ever even open a book or type a question into google?
Join us for a deep dive into the world of flavor, and learn to tune in to different ways of knowing through experiential practices in this interactive workshop. Learn why flavors matter to those interested in herbalism, engage in guided tastings and discussion, and discover firsthand how to translate what you taste into useful information about the basic actions of medicinal plants on your body, mind, and spirit.
In this two hour class, you are invited to engage with a variety of herbs, connect to your own intuition, make friends, and handcraft a custom tea blend to take home for yourself, or gift to a loved one for the holidays! We will focus on herbs that increase vitality and uplift during the cold winter months.
Our workshops and events are available at a sliding scale. We invite you to practice economic solidarity with your community and choose the ticket tier that makes most sense with your financial situation.
