'Seeds of Herbalism', An Introduction to the Art and Science of Herbalism

WorldBeat Cultural CenterThis renovated 1 million gallon water tower on the edge of Balboa Park was repurposed and revitalized by the vision and hard work of Makeda Cheatom, the World Beat Center Team and the loving community that surrounds it. Over 23 years later it’s doors have been open every day to all people, regardless of color or creed, as a place to celebrate all cultures, all art, all music, all dance and all people. With the inside walls covered in murals by local artists brightly commemorating important leaders and historical cultures, there are multiple galleries and small shops within the building serving healthy local foods, locally sourced goods and a gallery of art and artifacts. Flags of all the nations are flying from the ceiling while the stage and dance floor have been host of hundreds of famous and upcoming acts, artists and events to the delight of tens of thousands of fans and attendees. Known throughout California and Mexico for its exterior murals celebrating Egyptian, African and Indigenous Cultures, the WorldBeat Center is leading as one of the most-important multicultural art and event centers in San Diego.
