OVERVIEW
When you learn about the wild plants, you start seeing the world with new eyes – there is food, medicine, and healing all around, whether you're in the woods or in the city. See what the wild plants can offer and learn how to identify, harvest and make food and medicine with them.
There will be three series - Spring, Summer and Fall.
During this program, you'll spend one day each week visiting beautiful and diverse locations, from rich woods to high mountain balds. We will learn how to recognize different plant communities and what the individual plants can offer us. We’ll also harvest plants and make our own herbal medicine and wild food dishes. Our focus will be on medicinal plants as well as edible plants, mushrooms and nature awareness.
WILD MEDICINE INTENSIVES
There is so much to be gained from this school. From meaningful friendships and excellent teachers to a deeper understanding of the world and plants around me, not to mention my own body. I graduated the program with a deep well of knowledge and a grateful heart for all I learned through this course.
