Garden Partnerships
For the last 10 years Sacred Vibes has provided our Flatbush community with FREE programming in Growing Spaces. Karen Rose and her apprentices hold community workshops focused on herbalism, ancestor connection, and connection to the land.
These workshops have provided restoration and healing in communities that are primarily immigrant communities, who have been denied access to traditional healing modalities, those living in economic poverty, facing the results of gentrification, and lack of representation in their communities.
Our workshops have been consistently well attend ranging from 40-100 people coming from the immediate community, Staten Island, the Bronx, New Jersey and even Maryland to be present to the wisdom of plant medicine.
