Community Medicine Making Days

​

​

There is magic in herbcrafting in community!

 

Community Medicine Making Days are inter-generational events that build community, create an excess of medicine, and provide participants with skills and knowledge to create herbal remedies at home. Events are held seasonally, with the craft and herbs aligning to what is happening in nature and our bodies. Each event has a set project or herb skill, but what we end up creating depends upon who attends and what they bring.

​

Community Medicine Making Days an exchange-based offering. Holding events in this way is an intentional choice to resist the commodification of care in our society. Inspired by the work and lives of Rosemary Freenie Harding, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Becky Chambers, and Anne Dunlap, we believe that process for creating medicine is as important at the outcome. Participants are asked to bring an ingredient or supply as an offering to the space. In return, they leave with handmade medicine, new experiences and knowledge, and deeper community connections. We hope you will join us!
