Description :

Registration for this workshop is open.

With its final burst of energy before the plant world prepares for a long winter’s rest, autumn is an incredibly abundant season on the local landscape. For foragers and herbalists alike, autumn the time to scour field and forest for delicious roots, potent medicinal barks, the last flush of wild fruits and nuts, and more. Come take a tour of the vibrant wild foods and medicines of our bioregion!

In the first part of this workshop, we’ll get out on the land and explore the field identification, ecology and medicinal and edible properties of local plants, with an emphasis on abundant introduced species. You’ll never see “weeds” the same way again.

In the second part of the workshop, we’ll gather around the fire and learn to prepare culinary and medicinal concoctions from our harvest.

Bioregional herbalism is the practice of tapping into the medicine of locally abundant plants, and 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.
