Winter Tavern Tales: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Medicine

Wednesday, February 15, 2023
6:30 – 8:00 pm
Blue Ball Barn, 1914 W Park Dr, Wilmington, DE

Join Roger Mustalish and Chief Dennis Coker as they explore Lenape traditions in two parts. The first part of the program will introduce the plants through a “virtual plant walk” (at the Blue Ball Barn) that formed the basis for Lenape healing traditions, with a focus on plant diversity, the part of the plant that was used, how it was prepared, and for what conditions it was used. The second part of the program will include an hands-on learning component during which contemporary medicinal plant preparations will be presented . A major take away from this presentation will be that while the health and healing traditions of the Lenape people go back millennia, they also exist today, and the contributions of the Lenape people have been well integrated into our mainstream approach to holistic health and wellness. Light refreshments will be served. Free.
