About your facilitator

Hi, my name is Berenice. I am a queer herbalist who was born in Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) and grew up on Tongva lands (El Monte, CA) since I was 3 years old. My mother was my first herbal teacher. She raised my two sisters and I with herbal medicine. The classes are informed by my mother's teachings and the long relationship I've had with plants.

In class, my facilitation style is very hands on, collective, and engaging. I share what I know and I am also invested in providing a mutual learning experience where people are encouraged to share their own knowledge and contribute what they know.
