I am Janae' Sumter, but everyone calls me Jaee. I am a community artist, arts integration educator, coach, self-taught herbalist, and curator based in Bakersfield, California. I have a rich background and practice in cultural arts and holistic wellness practices. I teach and lead youth and adult workshops that create a natural learning environment that is explorative, fun, and reflective.
I am also the founder of Sweet Herbal Honey Apothecary, a community creative agency that produces creative-based community events, services, and workshops. Under this business, we sell herbal and home decor, hold events at our home apothecary in Bakersfield, and lead arts wellness classes through our community arts and wellness education program.
Through Sweet Herbal Honey, I travel to you to work with your community and hold workshop sessions at our home apothecary for individuals and groups. I teach sessions that connect people with themselves, the earth, and others. These sessions are for beginners and can be as parties, youth and adult groups, and school groups. Offered sessions include Natural Dyeing, Movement/Dance, Nutmilk making, Book Making, Painting and Music, Painting flowerpots, Creative Herbalism, and more.
