About the Black Plant-It Herbal Exhibit
This experience was curated to gift our community a miniature zen centric, pseudo-apothecary tea spot right on Central Park and Douglas Blvd.
Entering the space is a representation of moving through a natural flow of each energy center while offering herbs, teas, and visuals to insight spiritual curiosity and a reconnection to natural sources of energy to fuel ourselves for ultimate wellness as we combat some of the negative affects of stress, social, and civic fatigue which is governed by capitalism.
Our hope for this healing space is that you offer curiosity and leave with more sensitivity for your self and others.
We are not experts; We are simply explorers! This exhibit is an intuitive opportunity to learn and grow!
We offer tea and fruit to our guest.
We offer tinctures for tasting.
We offer real food for thought and long ponders.
We offer what we feel is missing.
