LESSONS FROM THE LAND – Moving and Healing with Mother Earth: A Sunset Walk and Workshop

This program is offered in connection with this season’s exhibition, “Terraforming: Olana’s Historic Photography Collection Unearthed.” Join us to lean into late summer, discover common plant allies at Olana, and learn more about their medicinal benefits and natural wisdom. During this nature walk and workshop, Nkoula Badila, founder of Grow Black Hudson, will guide participants through Olana’s landscape, discussing the health benefits of regional species and the ways we can connect with nature through movement and herbal medicine. Following a walk through Olana’s late summer landscape, Nkoula, a seasoned yoga practitioner and performing artist, will lead a short yoga practice inspired by the flora onsite. This program will culminate with a hands-on activity where participants will be invited to create their own herbal tea blend or a mugwort smudge stick to take home.

Advance registration required at OLANA.org. This program is $15 per person or $10 for members. For more information, please contact educat[email protected] or call (518) 751-6938. OLANA.org/programs-events/
