Fire Cider Crafting Party!

Thursday, September 25th, 2025 ~ 6:00-8:00pm, Anam Cara House, South Minneapolis

Thwart the winter illnesses that threaten to lay us low this season with your own hand-crafted Fire Cider!

Fire Cider is a hot and spicy cold-season remedy made popular by elder herbalist Rosemary Gladstar. Come infuse apple cider vinegar with your own mix of warming, anti-microbial herbs. We'll talk about benefits of different ingredients, along with culinary and medicinal uses for your cider. A great introduction to kitchen herbalism!

The cost is $30-60 sliding scale per person, and includes a pint of fire cider to bring home and decant. Folks are welcome to make additional jars for a supply fee of $15/pint. Interested kids can join their adults and make their own for $20/kid.

Ways of Plants: Garlic

Herb and Print-Making Class

Wedensday, November 19th, 2025

* 5:15-8:30pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop

What do spaghetti lovers, vampire slayers, and seasonal cold sufferers all have in common? A love of garlic!

In this next class in a haer-and-print-making series with artist Jessie Merriam, I'll share what I know about the history, botany, and lore of garlic, and we'll discuss medicinal and culinary uses, and do some sampling. Then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this delicious and powerful bulb. Participants will go home with their prints and some new ideas for how to integrate their winter wellness routine.

We'll have time while carving for more conversation about garlic's many virtues!

Registration is open soon on the Fireweed Page!
