Panelists: Cyrée Jarelle Johnson, Nicole Rose, Atava Garcia Swiecicki, Myrna Caban Lezcano, Simone Sobers

During this panel, community herbalists/folks with lived experience discuss the intersections of Madness, disability, and herbal medicine through a lens of liberation, kinship, and ancestral reclamation. Panelists approach plants not as a replacement for clinical medicine or a set of tools to "fix" people, but as a practice of intentional relationality and a deep medicine in its own right.

Together, we’ll explore how we can work with plant medicine to support us in navigating altered states, easing chronic pain, and nourishing our nervous systems. We’ll connect with ancestral knowledge systems that have often been stolen or suppressed through colonial, imperial, and carceral violence.
