This workshop is part an 8 month workshop series to learn about local wild food, medicine and crafts. We'll practice ethical foraging as an act of resistance. Check out the other workshops in the series: https://hdfst.uk/creative-foraging

Each session will include a guided foraging walk and an introduction to a range of craft and wild medicine making skills that you can build on throughout the year, leaving each session with knowledge to share with others.

In this June session, we'll find how summer graces us with abundant flowers; gentle medicine to calm the nervous system and the heart. We’ll take time to get to know how flowers such as lime, rose & elder can help us navigate this world. Learn how to forage for and make your own glycerite tinctures and rose water.

ROUGH TIMINGS:
2pm - foraging: flowers for their calming effects
4pm - focus on rose; why is this medicine so powerful for us right now? How can we harness this gentle strength for the benefit of all people?
5pm - leave, spread this knowledge elsewhere
