Join us for an afternoon of connecting to our ancestors and visions of liberation through herbalism and sound therapy. Participants will take part in a workshop rooted in Maroon herbalism while discussing liberation as a tending to the land. Sounds of the harp will guide us as we dream and rest together.
Lunch is included. Vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free options will be available.
This event is for Black organisers and activists.

About the Political Education Series:
This political education series is designed for Black organisers and activists who are interested in dismantling capitalism but feel overwhelmed about the steps needed to create nourishing economic realities.
We’re calling on Black organisers and activists across the UK who want to engage more with solidarity economics organising, rooted deeply in our histories and cultures as African and Afro-diasporic communities. Through in person and online events, this political education series will take organisers on a journey of reclaiming and popularising alternative ways of dismantling capitalism, rooted in the tools of elders such as savings circles (Pardner, Susu, Ayuuto), squats, housing cooperatives, community gardens, labour sharing and much more.
Using the African oral history tradition, this political education series will foster intergenerational and international dialogue, seeking to create space for the diaspora to reconnect with practices that have sustained life and health - practices that resist and offer a pathway out of racial capitalism.
