Herbal Healing Retreats
SPRING
SUMMER
FALL
Attend one season or all three.
​
A retreat experience spread out across the seasons,
weaving together herbal wisdom, foraging, gardening,
earth (re)connection, community building, healing & growth. Our retreats are facilitated in a way which supports individual and collective learning & growing through experiential processes and hands-on-learning.
During each seasonal retreat, we meet in-person for a full-day, every other week over the course of two months. Time together is spent in both "active" learning/doing and "passive" quiet/reflective experiencing.

Wild & Weedy Wellness
SPRING SESSION
March 23rd - May 4th
Every other Saturday
9am - 3pm
We've been tasked with a mission! Our adventures begin at the vernal equinox, and we're going on a foraging expedition through the farm fields and forest. What will we discover, who might we meet, and what secrets will we uncover?
Our entire spring session has a particular emphasis on foraging. Foraging 101 - safety, plant identification and communication allows us to connect in meaningful ways with the land, wildlife and plants around us.
We'll work with root, leaf and flower as we move into ethical harvesting. From there we transform nature's medicine into culinary delights.
​
We will discuss shared patterns between our own bodies and the living earth and how we might be mutually supported through attuning to the energies and qualities of the season.
