Join us in the House of Dates for the third annual Center for Multi-Religious Studies Lecture. We will be joined by ethnobotanist and cultural worker Layla Feghali as we explore themes of her new book The Land In Our Bones: Plantcestral Herbalism and Healing Cultures from Syria to Sinai, exploring earth-based pathways to ancestral stewardship and belonging in diaspora. We’ll also learn about the Gaza Mutual Aid Network which Layla’ co-founded.

Layla’s work documents cultural herbal and healing knowledge from Syria to the Sinai while interrogating colonialism and its lingering wounds on the culture of our displaced world.

Hosted by Starr King Ministry, interviewed by Taya Ma Shere.
