Sold Out
Herbalism courses! Available discount when bundled with Light In The Darkness: Plant Medicines for Anxiety & Depression taught directly after by Sam Roberts.
WEEDS! 10am to noon
With spring showers and sunshine, we can expect a burst of all things green! Including WEEDS. But is that such a bad thing? Come join me to learn how many common lawn dwellers we fight to clear out can be some of our best allies for nutrition, flavor and wellness!
Plants we'll be learning about include nettles, chickweed, dandelion, black mustard, lamb's quarters and MORE! I may sneak in a few less wild cousins since other great munchies are blooming that may be semi-domesticated, like tart and refreshing wood sorrel. Sauté, smoothie, extracts and infusions support digestion, mineral intake, allergies and liver function. Who knew?! Join me at Cottonwood Urban Farm to discover your very own wild garden apothecary and produce and take home a blend or two from the XoM3 apothecary!
LIGHT! 1pm to 3pm
Depression and anxiety can make every day feel like a struggle just to get by. IN addition to plant remedies, we will discuss nutritional therapies and Vitalist practices to support day-to-day coping as well as long-term healing. You'll take home your own supportive wellness formula from Sam's own apothecary, Wolf Star Herbs!
