A Cup Of Tea With HWB (5/5/2026) - SAVE THE DATE

Herbalists Without Borders has partnered with Idealist in their dream and an invitation: if some of us, many of us - enough of us - can agree on three simple things, we can unleash a wave of hope and creativity like we’ve never seen.

We as herbalists, however you define that, have been working with our families, our “communities” for as long as there has been a history to record, so we thought what better way to connect with those in our communities than over a cup of tea. No agenda other than getting to know at least five people in your community that you didn’t know before. Invite them for a cup of tea – we thought we’d start with chamomile, since a cup of calm is what everyone needs in this crazy world right now.

We will be hosting a cup of tea on 5/5/2026 – Tuesday, May 5th, so mark the date on your calendar. Details coming soon...

Today, we hosted a Calming Station for high school kiddos walking home on a Friday afternoon. It was windy and the temperature was brisk, but a few stopped by. They were given some calming inhalers and roller balls, plus a booklet on how herbalism is a career path for many and, if they're interested, could be one for them too.

SELF CARE BREAK...

And breathe! Take three deep breaths in through your nose, then open your mouth and "sigh" them out.

You're welcome. 🤗 ✨💖✨

Yesterday, we were at the inaugural Newark Science and Sustainability, Inc. Herb Festival... in the rain... with an amazing turnout of awesome people, representing Herbalists Without Borders (what rain!). I was busy with great conversations all day! Thank you to Tobias, Alexandra, Ginel, Roxana, and all the SAS team for hosting such a super event. Thank you to all who stopped by the HWB tent (and a special thanks to all who drank our hibiscus tea) to learn about our work. Thank you to all those putting in the hard work to support their communities - you are loved and appreciated.

Carolyn, a special 💖 to you. You never cease to amaze me with your spirit, your heart energy, and your giving personality.
