Ritual of Tea and Natural Dye Workshop

This autumn, steep yourself in self-care and creative reflection with wellness gurus Taahirah and Nakia Stith of Dope Botanicals. Gather around a table within Rose B. Simpson’s Dream House installation to learn about tea preparation and plant-based alchemical remedies. After enjoying a custom tea blend inspired by Dream House and the fall season, head to our print studio to create your own eco-printed cotton bandana using a variety of tea leaves and flowers! This event is organized in conjunction with Rose B. Simpson: Dream House.

Sisters Nakia and Taahirah Stith have been ‘plant based’ before it was popular. Born into a family with core values of respect for self and community, health and wellness were extremely important tenants in their upbringing. The sisters have over 30 years of experience utilizing food as medicine. After years of being asked to bring their remedies to the public, the Herbalist + Certified Integrated Health Practitioner sisters created Dope Botanicals. Dope Botanicals is an inspired a'plant'ecary™ that creates intentional, plant based alchemical remedies. Located in Rittenhouse Square at 257 S. 20th Street, Dope Botanicals was voted Best Herbal Apothecary by Philadelphia Magazine.
