Within ancestral memory lies the story of our own healing.
I’m Dove and I welcome you warmly into this virtual garden of possibility.
I’m the herbalist, death doula, writer, and community builder behind this budding site. Arasa Herbals is a living laboratory and chronicle of explorations in ancestral herbalism, weaving story, plant medicine, community, and the sacred practice of Sankofa together on a journey to wellness - and to right livelihood!
Subscribe to my occasional newsletter for the latest on my wildcrafting excursions, class offerings, and more.
We’re all travelers here and I welcome you, your story, and your medicine along for the ride.
N’sumna!
sankofa • “go back and fetch it”
It is not wrong to go back and get what you have forgotten. We must look to the past so that we may understand how we became what we are, and move forward to a better future.
(from the Akan people of Ghana in the Twi language meaning “to retrieve”)
