# Event Details - **Event Name**: In Our Own Voices Presents: "I Nourish Them, They Heal Me" - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: A plant healing and herbalism based gathering for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC survivors of violenceAbout this EventWhat does healing look like when it is rooted, slow, embodied, and collective? How might these lessons apply to the ways we relate to our bodies, boundaries, pleasure, and rest?I Nourish Them, They Heal Me is a healing experience that invites participants into a sacred space where plants become teachers, witnesses, and partners in restoration.Sexual wellness is deeply tied to our relationship with our body, our capacity to listen inwardly, and our ability to recognize needs without shame or pressure. Much like plants, bodies are often expected to perform, respond on demand, or thrive without adequate care.This workshop reframes intimacy as a slow, reciprocal relationship rooted in presence rather than productivity. Through guided plant care, herbal wisdom, storytelling, grounding practices, and gentle reflection, we will explore how tending to living beings can support our own healing journeys. Together, we will honor survival, resilience, softness, and growth. This event centers survivors of violence, and we will have staff on site to assist should any triggers arise.What to expect:Guided planting and intention-setting activityIntroduction to accessible herbal healing practicesA plant companion to take homeStorytelling and grounding reflectionLocation: 21 1st St Troy, NY (Troy YWCA)Date: Saturday, April 18, 2026Time: 1:00-3:00PMAdditional DetailsNo prior plant experience neededTrauma-informed space with staff support availableFocus on healing, resilience, and self-nourishment through care and connectionThis project was supported by Grant No. 15JOVW-22-GG-00305-LEGA awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.
