As part of The Future of Here: A Glimpse of a River Culture to Come exhibition at the Peale Community Museum in Baltimore, artist and herbalist Alyssa Dennis is leading a workshop that explores the connections between our senses and the medicinal properties of plants.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the relationships between human health and nature–participants will taste, touch, and smell at least one plant corresponding to each of the five flavors (bitter, pungent/acrid, sour, sweet, salty), which align with seasonal cycles of the land and how that is mirrored in our own bodies. The flavor of familiar plants can reveal an herb’s affinities, energetics, and medicinal actions, deepening our understanding of how plant medicine works and helping to divest from a one-size-fits-all modern healthcare paradigm.
