About the class:
Hood Herbalism is a contribution to a growing movement of decolonizing body, mind, and spirit that is centering the health y wellness of our communities. Hood Herbalism is a space for people of color to learn about accessible, holistic, and herbal healing practices. My goal is to provide you with useful herbal medicine making skills that will help improve your health and the health of those around you. The class is 4 weeks long and it is an introduction to herbal medicine making ideal for people just starting their journey engaging with plants and or needing space to depend their relationship with plants. You will be exploring your own curiosity, deepening your awareness, and taping into the frequency of healing life in all plant ancestors we will be engaging with.

About the Facilitator:
I am a queer xicana yerbera who was born in Mexico and grew up in El Monte, CA. My class facilitation style is very hands on, collective, and engaging. In learning spaces that I facilitate, I share what I know and I am also super invested in providing a mutual learning experience where people are encouraged to share their own knowledge and contribute what they know. I have been facilitating spaces for over 10 years and have been doing skill shares in the community consistently for the last 5 years. I also have a background in teaching and restorative justice so I am excited to be combining all these skills in the curriculum and learning space we will create together.  If you have more questions about what I do, feel free to visit my website www.berenicedimas.com or contact me directly.  ~ Thank you so much for your interest. I am so excited for us to be making medicine together.
