We are thrilled that our first nature workshop will be led by Sarah Tacoma, herbal crafter and founder of Bloem Botanicals.
It’s a walk in our wild forest at Shibagau Creek Forest Farmstead in Tamworth ON.
Join us for a day of foraging and fun as we dive deep into the wonderful and wild herbs growing all around us. We’ll play with plant intuition, discuss herbs as medicine, first aid and food, and dig deep into the philosophy of trusting nature and more. This will be an exploration of sacred and medical plants growing underfoot while forging new connections.
What we’ll explore;
- Wild Herb Walks
- Ethical foraging
- Herbs as food
- Plant Intuition
- Herbal preparations including salts, vinegars and more.
This day retreat is being held at our farm Shibagau Creek Forest Farmstead, an off grid 100 acre nature preserve. Five minutes east of Tamworth Ontario and 30 min north of Napanee, 45 mins from Kingston.
Connecting with nature and remembering what medicines our bodies have attuned to over thousands of years is empowering, to say the least. We’ll be spending the day walking the forest and discussing what we’ll discover around us. As we collect wild herbs and plants, we’ll learn what they can be used for, be it medicine, first aid or food.
TAKE AWAYS: As we walk, forage, and collect we’ll create an herbal gift for you to take home. The gift will be pending our collective discoveries, and this could include a cedar/or pine bath salt, a vinegar, pesto or even a first aid salve.
Accommodation at the off-grid farm house is available if you are travelling from Toronto or Ottawa.
