Herbal Medicine Walk

Looking for a fun, relaxing and educational experience this summer?

Let's go for a walk!

We'll soften our vision as we increase our awareness of everything that surrounds us.

We'll identify more than 50 medicinal plants but likely have a stronger focus on about 5-10 and talk about some of their actions and useful applications. We'll sit with some plants and really spend some time getting a feel for their personalities.

This class will be about 2 hours long with time for questions and feedback at the end as we enjoy a hot mug of nourishing herbal infusion. 

Bring a hat and water bottle.

No pets or young children, please.

Want to know how to make your own powerful plant medicines?

I'll be going over how to make high quality infusions, decoctions, syrups and tinctures that we gather fresh from my garden that very morning!

Everyone will get to sample some infusion and take home a jar of herb that is tincturing to be pressed at home after a full moon cycle.

We will discuss the appropriate uses and benefits of each of the different ways of making medicines and you’ll leave with in depth knowledge and confidence to continue making plant medicines at home.

Space is very limited, register now to secure your spot!
