shana bahemat is a writer, painter, mythmaker, and giyah lover. they’re devoted to illuminating the connections between home and ancestors, the value of this present moment and the wisdom from our past—metabolizing what is revealed into something living, breathing, continuous. their inspiration to create blossoms from their relationship with the more-than-human world.

shana is shaped by the sacred frequency of cha dao (the way of tea). her curiosity flows with the garden, in presence with the seeds that find us—the ones that we sow literally and energetically.

of iranian descent and now living amongst the native plants and medicines who were first tended by the lenape people on their sacred lands.
