Wild Folk Medicine - May 'Dandelion'

Have you ever wanted to learn more about foraging your own natural wild food and medicine? For centuries our ancestors lived off the land, harvesting seasonal plants to nourish them and treat their family's ailments. This knowledge was passed down over generations, but in the last 100 or so years, much of it has been forgotten.

Come join me in my 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐤 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 - 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤 & 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 Series and re-learn traditional skills of foraging and creating homemade folk medicine and wild food recipes.

𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭: 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 Learn how to correctly identify and responsibly forage these highly nutritious and medicinal "weeds" and their benefits of being turned into food and medicine. We will be exploring how to make medicinal infused-oils through two methods, and also how to bake with wild ingredients!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭: We will start with a foraging walk around the large private property owned by Lisa of The Yoga Social, where I will point out many wild plants and discuss their medicinal and culinary uses, and how to responsibly harvest them. We will use sensory learning to "meet" the plants. We will then forage as a group some of our "plant of the month" and head into a beautiful yurt where you will have an opportunity for some hands-on learning making your own medicine and wild food. Each month we will cover a different plant and technique, including creating your own teas, tinctures, infused oils, honey and vinegars, salves/balms and some wild food techniques such as making syrups, energy balls and sauces.

This is your opportunity to connect more deeply with nature, the old ways, and your own health.
