A meaningful experience learning traditional folk medicine-making skills that foster a deeper relationship between the land and ourselves.
Nature provides us with an abundance of wild medicines perfectly suited to support and nourish our wellbeing. Join for this truly meaningful experience learning traditional folk medicine-making skills that foster a deeper relationship between the land and ourselves.
We’ll start with a guided foraging walk - exploring how to safely identify, harvest, store, and process seasonal wild ingredients. Then we’ll guide you to create a mini apothecary of potent folk medicines to take home - a gift to yourself and those you love.
Depending on the season, we might make medicinal tonics, tinctures or elixirs. Perhaps our much-loved medicinal mushroom chai syrup, or potent salves and balms using beeswax from our sacred bee garden - a precious gift.
This is a truly 'head, heart, and hands' day exploring plant lore and learning traditional practices and skills. You’ll leave with your own folk medicines to support you and your loved ones. Plus, the skills to continue this practice at home. Through foraging and medicine-making we learn more about our environment and nurture a resilience that serves both people and the planet.
