Elders, we need you! In this workshop, elders are invited to share stories of healing and wisdom, providing us with a direct link to the knowledge we need to heal ourselves. Participants will learn some simple ways that we can support elders in our community in sustaining their health and wellness as they age.

The founder and owner of Sacred Vibes Healing and the Sacred Vibes Apothecary in Brooklyn, Karen Rose is trained in Eastern and Western herbal medicine and is personally dedicated to empowering individuals to make informed decisions regarding their health and lives. For her series of workshops at the New Museum, Rose will draw from over fifteen years of experience as a community, clinical, and formulary master herbalist, and will focus on how women may live inspired lives using the energies of plants.

This workshop is offered in conjunction with “Simone Leigh: The Waiting Room.” All care sessions will be open to the public free of charge and will take place on the Fifth Floor. Unless otherwise noted, participants must sign up in the New Museum Lobby half an hour before each session to attend. Space is limited, and admission is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
