Healing the Code: Herbalism, Epigenetics and Ancestral Data

Workshop Description:

What if your body is not just a vessel, but a living archive of ancestral memory — storing not only trauma, but also resilience, joy, and wisdom? In this workshop, we’ll explore the intersection of herbal medicine and epigenetics as a tool for ancestral healing. Through the lens of “ancestor intelligence,” we’ll treat the body like inherited code — full of signals, scripts, and sensory triggers that plants can help us access and reprogram.

What participants will experience:

• Understanding epigenetics and ancestral trauma in plain language

• Review of the ancestors of Blood,Place, and Time and how to understand the was in which the communicate with you

• Using the "Data" of these communications to understand what needs to be healed.

• Reflection: What did your lineage survive, and what wisdom did they leave in the body?

• Plant-as-code metaphor activity: Choose a plant ally and break down its properties as “data” (e.g., anti-inflammatory = conflict resolution, nervine = calming the system)
