I got so many messages (or should I say threats LMAO) asking me if I was planning to do another event like this in the fall. Well, I’m thrilled to announce that due to popular demand, “Grounding in the Bronx” is making its return on October 20th, 2024. The autumn leaves will be our backdrop as we reconnect with nature and ourselves in our beloved borough.

What’s in Store

Just like before, we’ll be embarking on a magical journey through the hidden natural gems of the Bronx. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Herbal Wisdom Nature Walk (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM)
  • Begin with a centering cup of tea
  • Explore local plants and their medicinal properties
  • Practice grounding techniques in our urban landscape
  • Discover the Bronx through new, herbalist eyes
• Lunch Break & Integration (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM)
  • Time to reflect, be in community or simply be with nature

What’s Different This Time

Due to the nature of this autumn edition, we won’t be offering the personalized oracle and tarot readings after the walk. Instead, we’re extending our time in nature, allowing for a deeper immersion and connection with the changing season.

BYOP: Bring Your Own Plants

As before, this is a BYOP event! Bring along your favorite plant allies – some cannabis (if that’s your thing), or any other plant medicine that speaks to you. Remember, this is a judgment-free zone where we honor all plant wisdom.

Why Join Us Again (or for the First Time)

October in the Bronx is a special time. The crisp air, the changing colors, and the shift in energy make it perfect for grounding work. Whether you joined us in September or this is your first time, you’ll experience our community in a whole new light.

As a Black Dominican American woman and community herbalist, I’m passionate about reconnecting us all with the wisdom of our ancestors and the healing power of plants. This walk is more than just a nature tour – it’s a remembering, a celebration of our roots, and a chance to see the magic that’s been here all along.
