Autumn Foraging (for adults)
About the day
Join us for a peaceful and connective day in the quiet of the woods, walking the land, gathering from the bounty of autumn and learning about our plant kin through story, song, facts and folklore.
We will be focusing on the nourishing harvests of autumn and some of the ways we can care for our immune systems at this time and will make a medicine to take home at the end of the day.
Anna from The Children’s Forest and medical herbalist Lucinda Warner of Whispering Earth will guide you on plants and practices as we walk and gather respectfully.
We will share tea and other medicines and learn through story, song, information and experience.
