The Sankofa Principle reminds us to look to our past to remember the lessons of our ancestors, before we move into unexplored territory, or consider a decision of importance of life pathway. In consideration of how our ancestors remain with us as guides and examples, we will focus on some of the "mama earth" wellness lessons we mostly forgotten due to mainstream western health practices.
This is an opportunity to tune into your own healing power by calling back the wisdom of the ancestors that have sustained our people. Healers will share some of their most powerful preventative wellness herbs and potions; and offer remedies that participants can include in their regimen to manage the "dis-ease" they endure on a daily basis. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own medicine to take home.
Lunch will be provided. We will have vegetarian and vegan options.
About the Workshops:
Indigenous Botanical Beauty with Alicia Holcombe
This presentation is designed to guide and remind our community about the practical effectiveness of nature based beauty practices. It’s an opportunity to decolonize your beauty routine by returning to methods used by the ancestors. The all natural benefits of soaps, bath salts, body scrubs, facial masks, moisturizers, makeup, and more will be discussed and showcased. By the end, participants should be able to recognize active ingredients and plant constituents needed to construct a botanical beauty routine that directly connects to our roots and the Sankofa principles.
