Wise Herbalist Forest Gardening with Medicinal Herbs
Join us for a hands-on workshop in the forest to learn about cultivating medicinal herbs and creating your own herbal garden!
~~~~`
Friends! We invite you to join us in Ashby, Massachusetts for our Wise Herbalist Forest Farming event.
From Thursday, May 30th, through Sunday, June 2nd, we will be gathering on Olga and Ilya’s land used for women's gatherings, herbalism education, and community events to get our hands in the dirt and learn-by-doing.
~~~~~~
LEARNINGS:
We’ll focus on clearing the forest to prepare for planting, while simultaneously gathering materials to build hugelkultur garden beds, with this particular aspect of the event led by Scott Guzman.
Guided by Olga of Wise Herbalist, we’ll collaboratively design herbal gardens and plant medicinal herbs, while learning about the many ways to work with these plants in our day to day lives.
There will be an opportunity to join Olga on a guided plant walk ”Medicine That Grows Around Us,” where folks can receive an activation experience on their plant path.
Finally, we’ll do some greenhouse planting and learn about soil building!
We are calling out for up to 20 volunteers for this event - an opportunity to get your hands in the dirt, work with native medicinal plants, and enjoy community co-creation & fun!
~~~~~~
FESTIVITIES:
As always, you can count on music, dance, and play As the day winds down and the sun begins to set, we will have the opportunity to jam with access to 2 fire pits, so bring your instruments and your dancing shoes!
Additionally, our hosts, Ilya and Olga, will be offering a “Guided Journey Dance,” with Olga as the guide and Ilya as our DJ. (More details on the program flow coming soon!)
~~~~~~
AMENITIES:
We will also have access to a 8-10 person sauna with a warm water shower right outside. What better way to settle in for the night by a good sweat.
There’s space available to camp and pitch your tents, and also space in the barn to sleep.
~~~~~~
FOOD:
Our hosts, Olga and Ilya, will provide herbal tea, coffee, and all meals. Meals will be vegan and gluten free, with a small meat option. Volunteers will be needed in the kitchen to help prepare the meals. Extra snacks are encouraged to bring. Please let us know if you have any dietary needs! Bring your own BLISS (Plates, cups, bowls, utensils)
