As a champion of spaces for women to relax, learn, and feel seen and heard, I knew I had to host a Galentine’s Day Gathering this year. ALMOSTGatherings are meant to bring women together to learn more about the plants and herbs that we can find in our daily lives. We often forget that the cannabis plant is not so different from the many herbs we find in our pantry. I am so beyond grateful to Kristen Williams of Hempsley for helping me share this herbal knowledge with the group (she created the workshop, I am just her humble facilitator). A special thank you is also in order for the woman who opened up her home and shared her rose blunt rolling wisdom, Malina Lopez. Thank you thank you to Raven Grass for your beautiful flower, to Cady Zhong for capturing the evening, and to all of our gift bag sponsors for sharing your magic with our guests: Allume, Broccoli, Heylo, Kannai, Karmic Bath, Kiskanu,Tarot. We’ll be doing more ALMOSTGatherings in 2020, so watch this space for the next event! —Kieryn
