Hands-On: Mother’s Day Circle

Sunday, May 12, 2024
10 am–12:30 pm
$30 non-members / $14 members

In celebration of Mother’s Day and inspired by the boldly asymmetrical forms made by Toshiko Takaezu in 1971 called “Hapai,” or “to carry, bear, raise, or support” in reference to pregnancy in the Hawaiian language, we invite participants to join us for a women’s circle and workshop centered on ancestral healing practices. This workshop will be led by Sol Aramendi, artist and educator; Dr. T’Karima Ticitl, LM, CM, a midwife; and Marcela Alatorre, a traditional doula and herbalist. Participants will make their own teas with rosehip and raspberry leaves, create an aromatherapy pillow, and participate in a womb altar dedicated to honoring the body as a vessel and carrier of life.

Spanish translation will be offered during the workshop. Scholarships will be available to participants if the workshop cost is a barrier to participation. Please email education@noguchi.org with questions.
