Let's make some Plant Medicine together this Fall that will carry us through the Winter months in a healthy, happier way.
We will start the day with a Plant Identification and Weed Walk along the Thornton River to explore and learn about the habitat and gentle harvesting of the Fall while learning details on how to utilize these plants to keep ourselves healthy and sane throughout the Winter season.
Then we'll learn about plant remedies and how to make them! These remedies are all intended to bring about a strong connection between you and the plant medicine that you are making.
