Throughout history, plants have held an honored place in self-care practices, and today, these ancestors can still teach us much about loving ourselves. In this workshop, explore African botanicals that have long been used for beautification, vitality building, and cultivating inner joy. Join Sade in a demonstration of how these plants can be crafted into natural products such as herbal oils and facial masks.

SJPLA’s Wellbeing Series is a free workshop every second Thursday of the month at 11 am. The workshops introduce a variety of healing modalities as part of our Racial Equity in Homelessness Initiative. These sessions promote personal rest, renewal, and connection creating space for discussion on how to sustain wellbeing practices.
