Natural Medicines

Explore how local plants and Coast Salish teachings lead us toward building social-emotional skills. This one-day workshop will include mental health skills along with learning how to craft tea blends, cooking, and other activities. On a guided plant walk, participants will discover the gifts of the forest to understand the value and significance of Native ways of knowing and build a reciprocal relationship with Pilchuck’s majestic sacred grounds.

No previous experience is necessary. This workshop will includes lunch in our historic dining lodge.
