Unearthing Herbal Wisdom
March 29
$1200Unearthing Herbal Wisdom is an an in-person, community-based opportunity to connect with the natural world and learn how to incorporate culinary and medicinal herbs, wild plants, mushrooms, and tree magic into our daily lives. This 8-session course runs from March through October, and it is focused on building knowledge around working with plants in meaningful and practical ways, following the garden and the forest through the seasons, and learning hands-on skills, permaculture principals, and nature connection practices.
Between March and October, spend one day per month connecting with plants, learning to grow a medicine garden at home to help keep yourself and your friends and family well cared for, and discover ways to transform plants into medicines and handcrafts in close community.
At our monthly gatherings, we will spend time growing and tending to plants in the garden, making medicines and experimenting with plants to support our physical, mental, spiritual and energetic well-being, foraging through the woods and fields, and connecting quietly to ourselves and to the earth. This is an opportunity to grow plants from seed, craft a personalized healing journey, make and use safe and effective herbal medicines, and transform plants into handcraft in the company of a small group of supportive folks. It’s a chance to celebrate the earth’s movement, and to invest in wildness, intuition, and joy.
This course is not intended to teach you to be a practicing herbalist but instead will be a path to taking better care of yourself and others simply and naturally, with sustainable practices that give back to the earth. With a focus on permaculture, meditative and creative connection to earth, nourishing the body intentionally and healthfully, and ethical foraging and wildcrafting, we will be empowered to nurture ourselves while engaging thoughtfully and supportively as a community.
