An agricultural project rooted in Afro-Puerto Rican traditions.
The Caregiver Support Series is a three week series dedicated to caregivers - current, past, and future - inspired by personal experience caring for chronically ill family members. The series will mix radical therapy and herbal practices as tools to process anxiety, stress, and grief often compounded by the caregiving experience. We will be joined by licensed therapist, Dorian Ortega, who will support the group with practical resources and exercises that we can use along our caregiving journeys. Each session will include an herbal exploration, led by Alyssa N. Villegas Rodríguez, focused on herbs to support the nervous, immune and digestive systems. We will end each gathering with a hands-on medicine crafting portion where each participant will create a personalized remedy.
