ApotheCLASSES
As part of a national tour, The Abolitionist’s Apothecary will offer healing justice workshops illustrating the important connections between prison abolition and the natural world. Through learning about local plants and plant medicine we will ask participants to consider how nature endorses abolition as a strategy for both survival and joy. Learn more about the journey here!
The corresponding Abolitionist Field Guide teaches abolitionist strategy through the lived experience of plants, their relationships and the stories they tell. Sometimes those teachings are direct perceptions, sometimes they are metaphors. Abolition, like growing a plant, requires daily attention and care. Love, hope, compassion, social equity-- like a garden- need practice, time and nurturing to fully blossom.
