🍃 Updated Waiver
Please note that our community consent waiver has been updated this year. We require all participants attending workshops, clinics, and workdays to complete a new waiver — just once! If you've filled it out at any of our spaces (like Fruitvale or Ancestral Healing Farm) since mid-April, please let us know. Otherwise, click here to complete it.

🤲🏾 About the Space
The Fruitvale Community Healing Sanctuary is a nurturing environment for community members to learn, obtain herbal medicines for themselves or loved ones, create tinctures and tea blends, and much more. Whether you are an experienced herbalist or just starting your journey, our doors are open to you.

We prioritize participation from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Immigrant community members, and kindly remind allies to be mindful of the space and resources when visiting.

🫂 Accessibility
Our space is wheelchair accessible and conveniently located near the Fruitvale Bart Station for those taking public transportation. Please note that we are not a scent-free environment, as incense will be burning during the workshop with windows open. We offer face masks for those who need them, along with air filters to enhance comfort.
