Description :

Registration for this workshop opens on Monday, December 16th at 10 am.

Bioregional herbalism is the practice of tapping into the medicine of locally abundant plants, connecting the dots between herbal medicine, ecology, and relationship to place. This workshop offers an introduction to plant medicine from a framework grounded in reciprocity, right relationship, ethical harvesting, and walking gently on the land.

In this winter session, we’ll take a deep dive into the world of trees, with a focus on beloved conifers like pine, hemlock and fir, who remain fresh and vibrant all winter long.

In the first part of the workshop, we’ll take a plant walk and explore key identification features, medicinal actions, ecological relationships, phytochemistry and best of all, preparations of some of the trees that make up our urban ecology. Winter is a great time to take our tree ID skills to the next level by learning to recognize species by their bark, buds and growth patterns.

In the hands-on part of the session, we’ll gather around a crackling fire to prepare an all-purpose salve from tree resins and needles to take home.

Bioregional Herbalism workshop welcomes budding home herbalists, wild foods enthusiasts, foragers, and anyone who wishes to gain direct experience working with plants as food and medicine.
