Thank you!!

Han Mitakuyepi (Hello Relatives),

We are excited to announce our healing through plant medicines workshop: Braiding Sweetgrass into Bath Bombs in collaboration with Garden of Angels! This workshop will also be co-facilitated by native youth. This workshop is open to 15 Native Youth ages 13-19, and their parents.

Sweetgrass, or wačháŋǧa (sweetgrass in Lakota), was one of the original medicines that was given to the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires or the Dakota/Lakota/Nakota Nations) from White Buffalo Calf Woman to use for healing, ceremonies and spirituality.

Sweetgrass holds a deep spiritual importance with many other Tribal Nations, with varying histories of how each Tribal Nation began their relationship with sweetgrass. Tribal Nations, communities and people continue this traditional relationship with sweetgrass contemporarily.

Anishinaabeg scholar Robin Wall Kimmerer said, “In some Native languages the term for plants translates to ‘those that take care of us’.” Sweetgrass is a plant that has taken care of Tribal Nations for time immemorial, and it is the ongoing reciprocal relationship that continues to take care of us, and ensures future generations will continue the relationship with sweet grass.

Come learn more about different Tribal Nations relationships with sweetgrass, medicinal and spiritual properties, and make a sweetgrass bathbomb with your parent or guardian.

This workshop is open to the first 15 Native youth ages 13-19 who sign up, along with one parent or guardian.
Workshop capacity is 30 people total.
Please sign up using the google form below! We still have spots available. The first 15 native youth will receive a confirmation email/call.

What an absolute treat tonight was showing our native youth how to make bath bombs and how they work. What a great turnout!

Thank you DIFRC and DIC for having us! Jei, Wallace and I had so much fun. We are looking forward to the next workshop.

Attached are some of the memories we made tonight.

I'm giving our native youth a workshop on Bath Bomb making workshop at Denver Indian Center tomorrow evening. I brought some beautiful sweetgrass my good friend Beetle from Manitoba grows on his ranch. There's so much medicine in his grass and they are absolutely gorgeously braided to the very tippy end.

Thank you for having us DIFC!!

We're looking forward to it 🌿🖤❤️💛🤍🪶
