Harriet Tubman, Her Herbalism Practice, & Reclaiming Our Relationship with Plants
Make it stand out
The life of Abolitionist Harriet Tubman is one of liberation and incredible ecological knowledge. Her relationship to the land and her understanding of bioregional herbalism was one of the many skills Harriet used in rescuing enslaved people. Harriet’s herbal practice was embedded in her journeys to liberation and are just becoming more commonly known. In this knowledge share we will learn about Tubman's role as one of the most important herbalists of her time while also learning ways to tap into and reclaim our own relationship with plants though developing deep plant connections and a bioregional herbalist approach.
