Welcome to the black, indigenous, people of color herbal immersion [bipoc hi] an introduction to herbal + spirit medicine. We believe that all bipoc hood people have inherited wisdom and medicine that can heal the world. Your medicine has been kept from you by fear and how our psyche experiences the centuries of colonialism. Basta/Enough. We call you to the home of your healing: your intuition. The plants and the spirit medicine of our ancestors are here to guide you there/home.

During our 5 day magick-festing of BIPOC HI, we honor the elements and partner with plants to deepen our intuition. We make medicine, we embody the medicine, we remember that we are the medicine we need to thrive. By the end of BIPOC HI you will be comfortable speaking about + to plant ancestors, and making your own medicine to care for your physical and spiritual body.

BIPOC HI is inspired by the journey to our ancestors experienced in our Rites of Passage: Self-Healer.
