Welcome to the summer edition of BeatBox BotanicalS: Harriet’s Apothecary, a village of Black Women, Queer and Trans healers coming together to nurture and cultivate your body’s intuitive
wisdom. We are so grateful you are taking care of yourself in this way and in turn taking care of
the communities you are a part of. We hope that every moment you spend with us cultivates
and inspires the best in your being and encourages the healing genius of your vessel.
The intention of Harriet’s Apothecary is to continue the rich healing legacy of Harriet Tubman.
Like our courageous ancestor, we intend to expand access to health and healing resources that
support POC Women and Queer and Trans folks in their healing journeys. We also hope to
connect individuals and communities to each other and to accessible self and community
based resources that are rooted in the wisdom of our bodies, our ancestors and our plant
families.
This is an intentional space for self-identified POC/Indigenous/Mixed race Women and Queer
and Trans folks and the allies that love them.
We are deeply invested in creating a space where each person feels welcome at all times.
We invite you to co-create a space of love, growth, compassion, respect and healing that
honors the intricate beautiful identities and energies we each hold. To the best of your ability,
lovingly challenge your self to walk with us in the following agreements.
healing and loving community agreements
• Set a loving intention for your time at Harriet's Apothecary. How do you want
to love yourself while you are present? In what ways do you want to grow?
What do you want to be open to? How do you want to embody the love
that is you?
• Release judgments, preconceived notions, your ego and your fears. Lovingly
challenge yourself to be open without attachment to outcomes. Allow
whatever needs to manifest arise in order to be fully present to yourself and
the community you will be with.
• Be present to your truth. Practice actively listening to what might be arising for
you as you are in the space. Reach out for support if needed. There will be
folks identified to meet your needs to the best of their ability.
• Practice active listening with each other, making a conscious effort to hear
and understand what others are sharing.
• Be aware of language that you use to address and/or connect with
people. Many words have been used to historically oppress folks. Lets
participate in engaging in language that is liberatory and loving with each
other.
• Please honor people's pronouns and gender identities, whatever they may
be. Allow people to self-identify their gender and preferred pronouns to
describe who they are (e.g. he/him/his/she/her/they/them/their/z/hirs)
• Be humbly and compassionately self aware and curious about the pervasive
ways privilege and oppression, both across and within identity groups,
impacts us all. Be accountable to the impact of your actions to yourself and
this community.
BeatBox Botanicals is a local, sliding-scale, love-centered and community-inspired, plant medicine and healing practice. Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors, we use compassion, your body’s intuitive experience, and plant wisdom to handcraft medicine that restores and expands our body’s abilities to heal and to love.
we work with herbs and our bodies as tools for healing, reclaiming our individual and collective wisdom, and nurturing sustainable relationships with the Earth. We create customized medicinal herbal products based on what your body’s needs and truths are. We offer individualized and community health consultations, skill-shares, and workshops. We support liberation and justice movements committed to healing.
we specialize in medicine that expands the capacities of the heart and our innate abilities to Love. We believe that love is the most transformative force in the Universe and exists abundantly in all of us. Investing in our love practice allows us to live out our Divine purpose.
we are dedicated to the traditions and sustainability of plant medicine, using only organic and ethically wild-crafted plants and ingredients. We source ingredients from local urban gardens and farms first, and when that option is not available we acquire herbs from responsible and fair trade companies. Each herb medicinal is handcrafted and brewed with reverence for the plants and land they come from. 90% of our medicine is made during the full and new moon to evoke the energy of the Moon’s wisdom and magik.
we understand that transforming our world is deeply tied to the vitality of our minds, bodies and spirits and the spaces where we conjure up our liberation and justice magic. Transformation and liberation can
not be sustained if we do not individually and collectively prioritize the healing and reflective work necessary to keep us alive and thriving.
we believe investing in love and our own and each other’s healing, engages us in a rich legacy of resistance and decolonization, one that has sustained our ancestors and movements and in turn will strengthen us and enrich us for the long haul.
our work is inspired by the manifestation of love in and around us. The wisdom of our ancestors. The miraculous nature of our unshakable bodies’ intuition. The legacy of individuals and communities who have used healing and wellness as a tool for justice and liberation. The creative genius of indigenous and people of color, and queer and trans and two-spirit folk. The brilliance of sick and differently abled warriors. Loving-kindness meditation. Laughter. The Moon. The gifts of Nature. Intimacy with the Earth.
we look forward to lovingly and authentically journeying with you towards healing and caring for ourselves and each other and expanding the wholeness that already resides within us.
black women’s blueprint, inc is a civil and human rights organization of women and men. Our purpose is to take action to secure social, political and economic equality in American society now. We work to develop a culture where women of African descent are fully empowered and where gender, race and other disparities are erased. We engage in progressive research, historical documentation, support movement building and organize on social justice issues steeped in the struggles of Black women within their communities and within dominant culture.

HARRIET’S APOTHECARY HEALING MENU
Acupuncture and acupressure Acupuncture is a healing practice stemming over 2000 years old used in both Traditional and Classical Chinese
Medicine. Acupuncture honors the energetic pathways, or channels, throughout the body that influence associated
internal organs and structures. Energy from these pathways surfaces at various points on the body, identified as acupuncture points. Each of these acupuncture points serves as a tunnel, or access route, to the deeper circulatory
channels within. Extremely fine gauge needles are inserted at selected points, stimulating these points and thereby activating the body’s natural healing abilities. Acupressure is acupuncture without the needles. Instead of needles,
acupressure involves the application of manual pressure (usually with the fingertips) to specific points on the
body.Healer~ Julia Bennett $11-$111 30 min or 1 hr sessions
ayurvedic health management Ayurvedic health management consultations focus on optimizing physical, mental, and spiritual health from an
Ayurvedic perspective. Ayurveda is the traditional Hindu system of medicine, which is based on the idea of balance in bodily systems and uses diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing.

intelligence and reverent awareness to the temples that house our souls. Healer~Naima Penniman Donations offered to EVERYONE
