Plant Medicine: Herbal Teas for Healing with Kawika

About this event

🌻 EVENT DETAILS:

Who doesn’t love tea? Whether as medicine, a gift, or just a pleasant way to enjoy a rainy Pacific Northwest afternoon, tea is a staple in many of our lives. Come on down to the farm and make your own tea blend! This workshop will be hands-on with many opportunities to learn about the healing properties available through working with our plant ancestors. Participants will be able to try a variety of herbal tea ingredients that are common to the Pacific Northwest and leave with their own custom made herbal tea blend grown at Kindness Farm.

🌞 This event will take place at Kindness Farm.

🚙 PARKING

Please park on the farm side of the street anywhere up or down the street. Do NOT park on the grass across the street from the farm (you will see "No Parking" signs). This is important for safety vehicles to pass through. We reserve 2 driveway parking spots (in the gravel, on the right) for folks with accessibility needs.

🌼 ACCESSIBILTY INFORMATION

Venue is not certified ADA accessible. The farm's bathroom is not technically ADA accessible, but has been used by folks with wheelchairs. The majority of the farm itself is accessible, though not all parts are (we have some narrow pathways). Note that we use woodchips for the majority of our pathways.

If you’re feeling unwell, we kindly ask that you rest at home and join us another time. Masks are not required for this gathering, but you are encouraged to mask or distance in whatever way feels right for you.

🌷 ABOUT KAWIKA

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.
