There's still time to sign up for Gifts from the Sentient Forest's session on 'TEA CULTURES OF THE NORTH: Connecting to the Plant Wisdom of the Arctic'.

This online event will be held in collaboration with us(!) and the newly formed International Network for Tea Studies. 🍵🫖
TEA CULTURES OF THE NORTH: Connecting to the Plant Wisdom of the Arctic Wednesday, 19 March 2025, 3–5pm Helsinki Time In collaboration with the International Network for Tea Studies and The White Horse Press On Wednesday, 19th March 2025 at 3pm, the Kone Foundation-supported project Gifts from the Sentient Forest will host a cross-disciplinary discussion of the wild and cultivated tea plants of Northern Europe. Gifts from the forest arrive to us in diverse forms including as wild healing teas gathered across the Northern seasons as part of land-based cultural traditions. This seminar will connect the idea of forest sentience to the detoxification, rejuvenation, and healing of people, plants, and places. With diverse backgrounds in phytochemical research, Indigenous Sámi culture, and natural products design, our speakers will share their knowledge of the curative attributes of angelica, coltsfoot, Labrador tea, nettle, northern sweetgrass, roseroot, willow, and other northern species. This event will be held in collaboration with the newly formed International Network for Tea Studies as well as the new plant humanities journal Plant Perspectives published by The White Horse Press. Åsa Andersson Martti will introduce some of the major spring immunity teas of Sápmi. Martyna Vengrytė will present her research conducted with Lina Raudonė on the medicinal potential of Labrador tea in the Northern Hemisphere. Katja Misikangas will share the wisdom of Arctic herbs based on her family experiences and her work with Arctic Warriors. This free seminar will be offered as part of Gifts from the Sentient Forest with support from the Kone Foundation’s ‘In the Woods’ funding programme. The project aims to understand how recognising the plant world of Northern Finland in contexts other than exploitation can illuminate the ways forests rejuvenate human-nature relationships and sustain the Earth.
