SUMMARY:Indigenous Phytotherapy | The Plants That Heal: Hapé Circle
DESCRIPTION:For indigenous people\, Hapé (pronounced “ha-peh”) has a powerful spirit of healing and protection against evils. Hapé is a cleansing snuff that is seen to open countless portals\, enabling a person to reach different dimensions in the spiritual world. \nThis medicinal tobacco helps to focus and sharpen the mind. Hapé is served to clear a person of distracting thoughts and bad energies in preparation for intention setting. It clears the sinuses of mucus and bacteria to combat colds & respiratory ailments. It provides a calming\, grounding effect on the emotional and spiritual body that lasts much longer than the initial application and sensation. \nHapé is a mixture of sun-dried Mói tobacco\, as well as ashes of tree bark which is presented in the form of a powder. It is widely used in rituals & ceremonies in indigenous cultures as a spiritual and physical cure of illnesses. Tobacco is considered a sacred plant by indigenous peoples\, as a plant of power and a strong healing vibration. \nAll classes and gatherings in the Indigenous Phytotherapy series are donation-based. For this session\, a donation of $60 is recommended via Venmo to the facilitators or in cash at the event. \nNo one will be turned away for their inability to pay. If you feel called to participate but unable to meet the suggested donation\, please reach out to the facilitators at hawkshollar@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:WLS - Mt. Cuba’s Resilient Tree Canopy (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Trees are the backbone of any landscape. With current pest and disease threats and the predicted change in our climate\, we must adapt our practices to protect our trees from these stressors. Please join Mt. Cuba staff as we discuss our strategies for preparing our garden’s tree canopy for a changing climate. We will share the thought process and models used to shape our current strategy\, our ongoing data collection and tree monitoring tactics\, and how we intend to use the information gathered to implement practices that will help nurture a resilient future tree canopy. This program is part of the online Mt. Cuba Lecture Series.\nThis program takes place online Wednesday\, February 19\, 2025.\nAbout the Instructors:\nNicole DeLizzio is the Arborist Assistant at the Mt. Cuba Center. She holds a BS in Agriculture and Natural Resources with a minor in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Delaware. Nicole is an ISA certified arborist. In addition to co-teaching the Ecological Arboriculture course with the rest of the arboriculture team\, she can be found sharing her combined passion for trees and art in pyrography\, or the art of woodburning. One of Nicole’s favorite ecological gardening concepts is to allow trees to decay in place\, when it is safe to do so\, to be utilized by wildlife.\nGeorge Coombs\, Director of Horticulture at Mt. Cuba Center\, leads a team of horticulturists\, arborists\, and grounds maintenance technicians who cultivate and improve formal and naturalistic gardens and play a pivotal role in the implementation of Mt. Cuba Center’s long-range master plan.
