Medicinal herb knowledge as a practice of solidarity

International Women’s Day with Flamingo e.V. at BERLIN GLOBAL

Medicinal herbs know no boundaries and grow in collective strength. Their roots have the power to penetrate walls and overcome boundaries. They carry resistance, knowledge, and stories within them.
We are convinced that medicinal plants are an indispensable part of any healthcare system. Knowledge of their use can empower people, bring them together, and open up new approaches. Their effects can promote self-determination and build bridges between cultures, generations, and realities of life.

In this workshop, Zeren Oruc and Lea Nassim Tajbakhsh from Flamingo e.V. share their knowledge of medicinal plants – from the “Hevrîn Xelef” garden in Berlin-Neukölln to the mountains of Kurdistan, from Iran to Afghanistan.
We smell, mix, and compose our own tea blends, inspired by recipes that give courage, vitality, and connectedness.

The medicinal herb mixtures, which are compiled jointly, are passed on to “Hekayat” – the association’s open medicinal herb pharmacy – on a solidarity basis.

A workshop for people of all ages who want to experience medicinal plants with all their senses, share knowledge, and put solidarity into practice.

The first workshop at 2:30 p.m. will be held in German, and the second workshop at 3:30 p.m. will be held in English.
