This workshop's goal is to support youth in exploring healthy relationships with themself and others, rooted in cultural identity, ancestral wisdom, and healing from intergenerational trauma!

Workshop #2: Creating Care: Uplifting Women’s Health and Mental Wellness (hosted by Youth Leaders Lillian and Mandey)
Join us for an educational, healing, and empowering session exploring the intersection between women’s health and mental wellness. Learn ways to advocate for these crucial rights in our community as youth leading change. Assemble your own self care pouch and creatively design a positive affirmation mirror - some of which can be donated to support women at the CPAF domestic violence shelter.
This is an intergenerational space where we respond to cultural change and cultural shift of our ancestors for those who came before us honoring their roots and building our healing path toward resilience.

Ear Seed Therapy
Ear Seed Therapy
Auricular (ear) seed therapy is called a “microsystem” in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). They are used widely these days to help bring balance to the body. They can come in different forms: vacarria seeds, gold and silver pellets, magnets, crystals. They are taped to the outside of the ear with clear tape. Conditions that people often use ear seeds for are pain, stress, addiction and to curb hunger. After seeds are applied, many people report that their ears feel warm and/or that they feel relaxed or lighter. Some may even get a headache because it’s moving a lot of energy. Others may not even feel a difference. These are normal reactions. Please do remove the seeds if they are too uncomfortable.
There are only 11 spots available!
Things to Know
Things to Know
Please remove after 2-3 days
Although the tape is latex-free, some folks have sensitive skin. I would not advise them if you are prone to skin allergies or if you are unsure if you are allergic to metal. Please remove seeds immediately if your skin has a reaction.
Unfortunately, if you are pregnant you will not be able to participate.
Care and Removal Instructions
Care and Removal Instructions
They may fall off, especially while showering. If so, please do not reapply.
If the seed is falling out from underneath the tape or the tape is loose, please take off and dispose.
In rare cases, the seed may make a tiny cut in the skin. If this happens, remove all seeds and disinfect the area and keep it clean until it heals. If it becomes worse, please seek medical attention.
When removing the seeds, lean your head towards the floor on the side the seeds are being removed. This will help prevent any accidents during removal!
