Plant Medicine: Ancestral First-Aid Practices
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Before the advent of modern medicine, cultures all over the world relied on the medicine of plant ancestors. Join an afternoon of exploring plant medicine in all of its facets: the uses of commonly available plants, foraging considerations for medicinal plants, and share a few stories about a few plant elders — both native and displaced. By the end of the session together, participants will have a deeper understanding of plant medicine, key techniques for plant-based first aid, and will walk away with the start of their own apothecary kit.
This event will take place outdoors at Kindness Farm.

Kawika Kalama is a multiracial māhū interdisciplinary teaching artist, scholar, weaver, poet, photographer, diviner, healer, and cultivator of land. They were born and raised in Troth Yeddha’ and Tth’eetoo’ (Fairbanks, Alaska) by parents deeply rooted in subsistence, reverence for land, and traditional ways of being. Kalama’s work weaves place-based arts education, reindigenization, and cross-cultural community belonging into tangible, embodied experiences that collectively explore the sacred. Kawika’s lineages hail from Cebu, Kaua’i, Guangdong, the Pretanic Isles, Norway and France. They are eternally grateful for all the elders, culture bearers, and ancestors who laid the foundation for all they practice.
