Late Fall is the season we make medicine with roots and barks and an important time for gathering for learning, community and connection with the land. In this workshop we’ll learn about the medicine that Cramp Bark and Stinging Nettle root have to offer. We’ll discuss harvesting ethics and land tending then get to know the two plants we are working with going in-depth on the botany, indications for herbal use and dosage. We will work together to harvest, process and prepare potent medicinal tinctures from these plants.

100% of the profits from the workshop will go to Seeds of Solidarity and their vital work supporting frontline food growing and sovereignty projects in Palestine, Sudan, Cuba, Niger, and Congo.
