Winter Plant Medicine Workshop - Cottonwood - Painkillers
Sunday January 12th, 2025
10:30am to 3:00pm
Whatcom County
Cottonwood and other Painkillers
Forage for wild medicines and bolster your home-made apothecary! In this class, deep dive into winter plant allies through guided foraging, and stepwise instruction on wildcrafting them into useful medicines.
Students will practice identifying and crafting medicines from cottonwood trees into handmade remedies for a variety of ailments. They will work together or individually to create concoctions to take home.
This series is designed for individuals at any skill level who are interested in foraging, plant ID, herbalism, and wildcrafting.
Expect some gentle to moderate hiking, and some kneeling or squatting.
This course takes place outdoors, rain or shine. Please dress for the weather. There will be a shelter to craft our medicines under if it’s raining. Bring warm layers, enjoy a complimentary hot beverage, connect with the land, find community, and enjoy the winter in an exciting new way!
