SUMMARY:May 2025 Herbal Tea Tasting: LINDEN

SUMMARY:A Cup Of Tea With HWB
DESCRIPTION:Herbalists Without Borders has partnered with Idealist in their dream and an invitation: if some of us\, many of us—enough of us—can agree on three simple things\, we can unleash a wave of hope and creativity like we’ve never seen. \nWe as herbalists\, however you define that\, have been working with our  families\, our “communities” for as long as there has been a history to record\, so we thought what better way to connect with those in our communities than over a cup of tea. No agenda other than getting to know at least five people in your community that you didn’t know before. Invite them for a cup of tea – we thought we’d start with chamomile\, since a cup of calm is what everyone needs in this crazy world right now.  \nSo I invite you to find your area HWB Group (chapter\, clinic\, project) and have a cup of tea with them on 5/5/2026 – Tuesday\, May 5th. As our groups start to organize\, we will add details to their group pages so you can contact them directly to get times and locations.  \n✨ The Central Jersey Chapter of HWB will be announcing their hosting site location and time soon! ✨ \nSIGN UP TO HOST A TEA EVENT:\nCLICK HERE to sign up to host A Cup Of Tea With HWB \nWHEN YOU PARTICIPATE: \nPlease share your tea pictures on social\, in email… however you like\, but please \n\n hashtag #ACupOfTeaWithHWB\ntag @HerbalistsWithoutBorders and @JoinIdealist\n\n  \nFIND OUT MORE: \n\nCLICK HERE to Find an HWB Group Near You\nCLICK HERE to Learn More About Idealist\nCLICK HERE to Sign Up For HWB’s Mailing List for Future Events\n\n  \n\nAbout Herbalists Without Borders  \nHerbalists Without Borders’ vision is a global community where all people have access to affordable natural and botanical health and wellness. To bring that vision into reality\, we work with community-based chapters to create educational\, advocacy and grassroots model projects to fill the gaps in health justice internationally.\nWe’re very social and encourage you to follow us @HerbalistsWithoutBorders – Facebook\, Instagram\, and LinkedIn \nHerbalists Without Borders – Take a stand for health justice. \n# # # # # \nAbout Idealist \nFor 30 years\, Idealist has worked to bridge the gap between intention and action by connecting organizations and people who want to do good.
