Traditional Zimbabwean herbalism and healing workshop

Join Zimbabwean herbalist Silas Joseph Mangono to learn about traditional herbalism and holistic healing in Zimbabwe.

Finally, we’ll discuss challenges like colonialism and the destruction of forests, as well as traditional solutions to these problems.

Participants will have the opportunity to make and take home their own herbal remedy, with all materials provided.

When: 12pm to 2pm, Saturday April 26
