PMS is honored to have Natalia Rathbun sharing her brilliance & guest facilitating a knowledge share with us !
Adopted by Plants
This offering explores herbalism and cultivation as modes of connection, through the lens of transnational adoption. Together we consider: how do plants as a community help us to realize the connection that can feel lacking, and how does this lead us to a sense of expansion? This discussion may start at adoption, but the themes are broadly applicable to diasporic peoples. We will explore herbal preparations for grief and grounding, as well as share experiences of connection with our first mother, the earth.
Natalia Rathbun…
(she/her) was born in the traditional homelands of the Guarani people and now resides on gayogo̱hó nǫɂ homelands. Natalia arrived to herself when she began working on a farm as a teen, and realized that even far away from bloodlines and ancestral lands, we live with everything we need to feel connected and at home.
