FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Get Your Hands on the Herbs. Harvest and Prepare Them as Medicines on Over 50 Beautiful Acres in Woodstock, NY
The Wise Woman Center in Woodstock, NY is home to a great variety of plant life. It is also home to Susun Weed, world-renowned herbalist and author, spokesperson for the Wise Woman Tradition. Here she teaches people who come to her from all over the world to apprentice or just to take a one-day class on plants, health and women’s empowerment.
This spring she will be leading her annual class on how to prepare herbal medicines. Long-time supporter of empowering our health choices by harvesting plants local to us, Susun also prefers to teach us to take charge of our health by preparing our own remedies and wild foods.
In this class, you will identify, harvest, dry, prepare, and consume herbal remedies, teas, infusions, vinegars, tinctures, salads from plants such as violet, garlic mustard, dandelion, burdock, cronewort, and chickweed. This class is great for beginners. The lunch provided will be a treat to those who love local wild foods.
“Hands-on Herbal Medicine” will be held at the Wise Woman Center on April 18, 2010, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The cost is $75. Class includes a delicious wild foods lunch.
Weather permitting the class leaves promptly at 10:15 a.m. for a talking stick ceremony and a weed walk in the woods with the goats. You will have lots of time to learn to identify and talk about plants and ask questions. When the goats take a break, you will prepare and enjoy a wild food lunch. Class size is small to allow personal attention. Class held indoors in case of rain.
