Sweet Grass is one of the four sacred medicines for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. Learn how to make a small, sweet-smelling sweet grass basket.
This workshop was originally scheduled for earlier in the winter. We hope that with masks, distance and MAWA’s new air filtration system, we will be able to gather safely for this teaching. The workshop will be repeated (it will take place twice March 17 & April 28), to accommodate more participants.
