Summer of Green Gatherings

Exploring Medicinal Plants, One-at-a-Time

This summer, we will be be gathering on select Monday evenings at Anam Cara House to engage in a little plant courtship!

I will facilitate along with herbalist Reishi Leaf, choosing one plant at each gathering to approach slowly, spend time with deliberately, and share our knowledge of collaboratively. 

We will come equipped with everything they know about the medicinal uses, ecology, history and lore of the day's chosen plant, and we will weave tasting, harvest, reflection, and medicine-making into the evenings too, following the gardens' lead. 

Sign up here now to get reminders before each gathering throughout the summer, and then drop by whenever you can!

We're asking $10-20 sliding scale per session, to be paid day of (Venmo/cash/check/we can work something out).

I am excited to have been invited back to present as part of this community healing project initiated by Community Members for Environmental Justice in North Minneapolis and organized by Stephanie Lindquist, who does beautiful work weaving herbs with art. Four herbalists will focus on four different medicinal plants on four Saturday afternoons. Check it out!

Traditional Ways Gathering

I'm excited to be offering classes again at the Lake Superior Traditional Ways Gathering. This annual event is beloved to my family and sharing some piece of herbal learning here is something I spend a lot of time dreaming about in the cold and dark months.

This year I'll be doing herbal plant walk/tea times throughout the week, and also offering a salve-making class I'm calling "Medicine of Place", which is one-part hands-on crafting and one-part meditation on how the medicine we make can respond to a specific moment.

Heads Up! Registration for this year's gathering is full.
