Join multidisciplinary artist Love Hannington and learn more about Afro-Caribbean herbs for women’s health, especially womb health.
This workshop is an introduction to herbal traditions, exploring the history of Afro-Caribbean herbs, their connections to African and Indigenous practices, and their importance for women’s health.
Inspired by artist Jacqueline Bishop’s 'Keeper of All Secrets' tea set, the workshop will delve into the theme of the Market Woman and her role in sharing knowledge about herbs.
As part of the session you'll design and paint your own cup and saucer to take home. The session will include:
- Discussion and sharing of the uses of Afro-Caribbean herbs.
- A guided reflection meditation on connecting to inner resilience, empowerment and ancestral knowledge across all lands.
- Painting a cup and saucer, inspired by the knowledge learnt and shared on the day.
