**About this event**

What will we be doing?

In this special workshop, brought to you by Sarah and Jenny (@earthlings.amongus), we will be learning how to make a healing salve for the skin with infused plant oils and beeswax. We will also discuss the character and medicine of the two plants we will be working with, and how you can easily grow in your own yard for medicine.

Every participant will receive a salve to take home with them!

**What is Kindness Farm?**

Kindness Farm is the place you didn't know you've been yearning for.

It's a magical haven in SE Portland where you can spend time in peaceful nature and be your true, authentic self.

When you step on this land you forget you're in the city, surrounded by trees, birds, goats, chickens, and endless plants and flowers.

It's a place to center and ground, connect to yourself and other beautiful humans, while doing really amazing work to support your community.

Kindness Farm is a 501(c)3 nonprofit urban farm.

Our founder, staff, students, volunteers, and participants come from diverse backgrounds and include refugees, immigrants, queer and trans humans, BIPOC, neurodivergent humans, humans with disabilities, humans who currently or in the past have had a low income, unhoused humans, children, youth, and seniors...

At the farm we...

• Focus on working with demographic groups who have been historically overlooked in getting the resources they need
• Teach fellow humans how to grow food using regenerative methods that nourish all of us, and the Earth, and create a hopeful future
• Donate all the produce we grow to hungry humans who can't afford to buy food, let alone healthy, nutritious produce
• Create a safe, vibrant healing space for community (that includes you!) to build, grow, and flourish

In the last 2 years we've...

• Taught over 920 children, teens, adults, and seniors how to grow their own food. Together, we've remembered the power and autonomy of being connected to land.
• Donated healthy, beautiful produce for over 36,500 meals & 720 produce boxes that served 9,266 whole, beautiful humans
• Created a resilient community together with close to 12,000 volunteer hours. Join us! :-)
