Attuning to the Spirit of Plants~ Meeting the Flora in Reciprocal RelationshipWelcome to the first plant walk of the season and the first plant walk of the Medicine of the Rockies Course. This is a field botany and herbalism course that is comprised of four plant walks.
In each plant walk we explore a different ecological zone and the plants growing there.
Each plant walk of this series will have a different focus as well, giving you a well-rounded and in-depth introduction into ethical wildcrafting and utilizing wild plants as medicine.
In this first plant walk we will undergo a series of exercises to deepen in our communication with the plants. This plant walk will take place on the beautiful StarHouse property west of Boulder. Here we will explore and commune with the flora of the foothills.
This plant walk will also include a comprehensive talk and introduction into Wildcrafting Ethics and how we may integrate stewardship into our foraging.
*Cost: $50 each walk or full series/course for $200
