Mystery Medicine Mondays: A Monthly Plant Sit

Commune every second Monday with Temple's apothecary stewards, and learn about one medicinal plant each month. Each circle will begin with a plant sit where folks are invited to listen deeply to the plant by holding, sipping or smelling a plant tea. We will then learn who the plant is, where they live, and how they interact with our body, mind, and spirit. Space will be created for journalling.𓇼

This class will be held at Temple of Earth Apothecary.
536 Grand Ave, Unceded Oakland

Bring your own mug, a notebook/journal and something to write/draw with. Folks are also invited to bring their own knowledge into this community learning circle. Each month there will be medicines for sale featuring the plant of the week made by one of our stewards, which can help deepen and continue your connection with the plant.

Please RSVP! this will help us know how much tea to prepare. ♡

PAY IT FORWARD: All are welcomed to support the accessibility of our events by utilizing the Pay It Forward option and donating at any amount.

We are a Black queer mother, family and community run medicine project. It is always fundamental and imperative to that community healing experiences are accessible to those who need them regardless of financial access. We find it entirely integral that Black/Indigenous people of color get to share medicine in this space, and so we offer 'Pay What You Can' tickets to our Black/Indigenous relatives, at times naming specific sub-groups (see above). We are much owed by way of wealth stolen from us and our ancestors. We view the return of our lands, wealth, health and ways as a matter of justice and one of inevitability, as we intend to help facilitate it. Those who are called to return our money back to us can use the ‘Pay It Forward’ option to tithe in and support the space, our practitioners, facilitators and shop keepers.⛲️

For reciprocity and sustainability we will often ask for a minimum donation. If our minimum ask is not currently within reach, we understand ~ please write to us at [email protected]
