Attuning to Purpose with Flynne Olivarez

How building relationships with plants includes building relationships with ourselves and each other

Sat May 30: 11am-3pm @ Unity Farm (address and directions to be emailed to participants)

What to expect

During our time together, we will expand into the big picture of what it means to build relationships with plants, land, and each other through the practice of working with herbs. Flynne will provide prompts to get us thinking about our compass to this work, our ancestry as it connects to this work, as well as share pieces of her journey working with and growing plants. We will sit with plants of our choosing and share observations. We will also weave stories together of our own experience with plants and how they show up for us, especially when we need them.

Key Learning Goals

(1) connecting with plants as sentient beings
(2) reflecting on our own inspirations to do this work
(3) connecting with each other so as to remember how much community and reciprocity should be a part of any healing work

Flynne Olivarez (she/here) is a land-tender, community herbalist, bird gazer, midnight bath taker. She focuses on growing medicinal herbs and flowers on a ¼ acre plot at a collective farm for BIPOC growers.

The values she brings into the farm, herbal and community work, are integrity, interdependence, accountability, ritual, and an evolving dedication to growth.

Her family’s ancestry comes from Mexico, Sicily, and Apache and Tigua land in NM and TX. She is blessed to continue uncovering more about her ancestors as she tends land and builds community.”
