About Our Workshops & Gatherings

Our year-long series of workshops is designed to center creativity, nurture community, and remind us of the ancestral gifts we carry. Each gathering is an invitation to slow down, make art with our hands, and reconnect to the practices our mothers, grandmothers, and aunties used to keep our communities nourished and whole.

Through soap-making, herbal salves, sugar scrubs, cross-stitch circles, plant cultivation, succulent crafting, and seasonal rituals, we reimagine new ways of being together — ways rooted in care, slowness, and collective creativity.

Our workshops foster:

Belonging: a space where Hmong, Southeast Asian, and BIPOC participants can gather, breathe, create, and be witnessed.
Creative healing: hands-on work that calms the nervous system and brings joy through color, texture, scent, and making.
Community uplift: participants share gifts, knowledge, and stories that strengthen the fabric of our collective well-being.
Reconnection to lineage: many offerings honor ancestral plant traditions, handmade arts, and cultural memory.

Each workshop is an opportunity to craft beauty, restore ourselves, and uplift one another — imagination as medicine, creativity as healing, and community as the place we return to again and again.
