To celebrate the shifting seasons and welcome Autumn, join Tamsin of Wildfolk Apothecary for a seasonal foraging & medicine making experience.
Autumn is a powerful time to take notice of the seasonal shifts happening all around us. The leaves once sprouted new, now fall to the ground, turning into nourishment for the Earth to recycle over the colder, darker months. Though the trees are becoming bare, wild & resilient medicinal weeds are still abundant all around us! We will embark on a journey of discovering these untamed medicines of the Earth.
The day will begin with a wild-foraged tea ceremony in the Mangaroa Farms Yurt, highlighting the intentions of the workshop, and outlining ethical harvesting practices.
We will then go on a plant identification & foraging walk around the regenerating lands of Mangaroa farms, to learn about the seasonal plants growing all around us that we can use for food and medicine. Discover the plant’s therapeutic qualities, culinary & medicinal uses, and the unique folklore & stories attributed to them.
We will then gather to co-create a traditional “Fire Cider” immunity tonic to take home, utilising some plant that we gathered along the walk.
The workshop includes a seasonal lunch made from Mangaroa Farms produce infused with medicinal wild weeds.
Please bring a journal & pen, scissors, and a basket if you have one. These events are run seasonally.
