This workshop is about healing ourselves and the planet through our relationship with nature, with practical information and techniques for working with plants.
We will explore practices from the Findhorn gardens, Perelandra and the Anastasia books, and learn to make food, medicines and skin care products from familiar and common plants.
Plant walks, garden work, food preparation and the hands-on making of tinctures, salves, syrups, lotions, bath salts and infusions are some of the activities we will explore together, mixed in with sessions with guest speakers, discussions, books, handouts, videos and meditations.
You take home your creations plus new skills and information about how to provide healthy care for yourself, your family and your community.
