Tea Times from Meraki Farmacy
Thank you for your interest in  Experiential Learning with educator, ecologist and herbalist Lucia Hawkins. Together we are sharing skills, gathering in community to ask questions, centering The Plants, learning from each other and building relationships. We are going to have a great time together!

I call it TEA TIME because we begin each class with an herbal beverage, grown and made here at Meraki Farmacy. Because it is NUTRITIVE to gather together like this. Because we conversate and collaborate, each participant bringing something special to our time together. 

Please include a phone number and email address that you regularly check. We will coordinate and communicate by phone call and email. 
merakifarmacy@gmail.com       808-798-9425.  I do not use social apps or text message in my practice. 
Thank you!

If we have done Foundations of Herbal Practice together, WELCOME BACK!! I am so thrilled to see you again.   What would you like to do next? *
I offer the option of a field guide for participants. This is a booklet I write on our topic, 
with resources, ratios, recipes and /other radness for folks to further explore outside of our time together. Would you like to include this option? 
*
Many Tea Time hosts ask that I bring items from the MF apothecary for folks to purchase after Tea Time. There is absolutely no obligation to do so, ever. But, as this has been highly requested, and requires additional logistics and time, are you interested in this option?

Some logistics things for you to know: 

HOSTING is a big deal, and I appreciate it so much! 

Hosts share in the tasks of raising awareness, gathering a group together (minimal 5, depending on location), co creating a space to gather in. Folks need a place to sit and access to a bathroom. We often have folks bring their own mugs, and chairs, and provide a few just in case of course.

Minimal group size is 5.
Max group size is 15. 
Hosts include store owners, yoga studios, libraries, moms, other farmers. We gather in homes, yoga studios, outside. 
All ages, interests and prior experiences are welcome, always!

Fair Exchange, Accessibility, The Meraki Way
We center respect at Meraki Farmacy, and the specialized skills - care work requires fair exchange. 

On average, it is $30-50 per person, which is reflective of the high quality services delivered across the state of PA and beyond. This is a Lu original - unique offering, 25+ years of professional services, a book written, materials and practices shared by Lucia Hawkins. 

These are invaluable investments in your family, community, and care providers. 

If you would like a different form of classroom, please email merakifarmacy@gmail.com or call to discuss. Other options can include a local guided Plant walk. 

As humanists, feminists, and community members we are refusing the extraction or exploitation of our teachers, healers, leaders. Fair exchange is not just my self respect, it is a reflection of your integrity also. 

Travel fees are applied for distances of 60 mins or more from Goshen, PA in clearfield county.

A deposit of half the total is required, paid at booking, through venmo. The rest is due at arrival, cash or venmo.

There are no refunds for no shows. 

If you need to reschedule, please do so as soon as possible, with as much notice for all people. Best to call me as soon as something arises. Deposit will be applied to new date. 
If you then cancel, no refunds. 
Otherwise, Cancellations due to emergency can be accepted with 50% refund of deposit up until 48 hours before our scheduled time. 

Other Agreements

Folks are strongly encouraged to engage in discussion and ask questions but we will not be providing personal consultations during Tea Times. 

All materials are grown here and are organic, fresh, gorgeous. 

No herbal beverages offered have caffeine or are made with any Plants that have any contradictions.
