USAL Project Tea Blending & Meditation

Andrea Jimenez founded Herb Club LA to get locals to connect with the land in a truly personal way. It was in her field biology class where Andrea had the opportunity to become a certified Naturalist after learning about the native flora and fauna of Tongva land also known as Los Angeles. This opened a whole new world of understanding between our health and connecting to mother nature. It wasn’t again until the lockdown where she found reassurance that deepening our connection to mother nature was truly important and finally mustered the courage to invite others to reconnect with the land and its creatures.

In this workshop, participants will begin the gathering with an herbal tea (an herbal infusion) & a grounding meditation. Then they will learn how to identify plants as well as their medicinal and traditional uses.

This workshop will take place at Sycamore Glen on Occidental College's campus. While you're there, don't miss OXY ART's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Invisibility: Powers and Perils and temporary installation Last Whispers. Also sign up for a special behind the scenes tour of the Moore Laboratory of Zoology!
