Calendar for 2025 - Plant Teachings for Growing Social-Emotional Skills
Many Native Elders remind us that plants are teachers. When we awaken our senses and observe nature, plants can lead us in being healthy and resilient. These skills can be applied to our lives—helping us to build greater wellbeing.
Plants featured in this year's calendar include: Usea lichen, Alder, Nettle, Dandelion, Camas, Douglas fir, Fireweed, Salal, Wild rose, Hawthorn, Licorice fern, and Cedar.
This calendar is part of Plant Teachings for Growing Social-Emotional Skills, a toolkit that includes a book, cards, movement videos, posters, coloring pages, and a teacher activity guide. The toolkit is for mental health workers, educators, and community members who are exploring behavioral health skills that are rooted in the land and Coast Salish culture. Plant knowledge, social-emotional skills, stories, activities, and recipes are woven throughout the toolkit.
