Sweetgrass (Hierochloe odorata), known for it’s aromatic vanilla-scented leaves, has been used ceremonially for over 50,000 years. It is sacred to many cultures worldwide used as protection or to attract good spirits but also because sweetgrass only grows and spreads by rhizomes. Please join us as we discuss the history, medicinal uses, and cultural uses of this sacred plant. We will be crafting various items of choice from fresh locally harvested Sweetgrass such as sacred smoke bundles, protection bundles, and braids. Come join us and get creative with this very special plant. Feel free to bring your own fresh or dried herbs/flowers on stalks for decoration. Instructions and supplies will be provided.
