Join Railyard Apothecary for our twice monthly “materia medica” classes where we share in-depth information on one of our favorite plants. These classes are meant to provide a thorough description of a plant, its history, its uses, and how to prepare it safely.
This week join Kenzie McDonald, herbalist, herb farmer, and witch, to learn about the magic of cacao, or raw chocolate, a commonly consumed herbal medicine globally. A medicine of the heart, cacao is great for many physical ailments, as well as heart and spirit-based healing needs. We will discuss the origins of the plant, how it grows, and the implications of capitalism on the wellbeing of this ancient plant medicine. Tasting the herbal treats provided is not mandatory, but highly suggested.
Cost is $10.
