With Shelley DePaul
July 13, 2025
When Shelley DePaul, one of the clan mothers of the Lenape Nation of Pennysylvania, first set foot on Kirkridge land, she explained, “This place is full of medicine!” We are so excited that she is willing to come and teach us about the plant allies on this land. Join us for this exciting opportunity to learn about herbal medicine in this area.
