Learn about consent based practices for harvest, and wild rose medicine. All proceeds go towards the Tsartlip pollinator meadow. This webinar will go over consent based practices for harvest, rooted in W̱SÁNEĆ values. The module “Consent Based Harvest” will be shared, and there will be discussion on how we can build our own own relationships with land in ways that do not appropriate culture, and respect local protocols. The second half of the webinar will focus on wild rose as medicine. Participants will learn to identify the 3 different species native to our area, how to harvest, process and prepare teas, and infusions.
This webinar will be taught by Beangka Elliott, former project coordinator of Project Reclaim. There are a limited number of “free” tickets available to Indigenous, Inuit and Metis participants.
