WILD FOOD

Being our natural food, each plant contains healing properties and is far more nutritionally potent than the equivalent tamed (cultivated) food.

There are some inspiring books on the subject, yet unless you are already familiar with our wild plants, when first foraging it’s essential to accompany someone who is.

Wild food is nourishment for our wild soul and essential for our survival.

Our natural love and appreciation for the Earth awakens our senses to the miracle of life as the changing seasons bring us what we most require for vibrant good health and well-being.

In a day’s workshop we will go out into the countryside or to the seashore and enjoy a gentle walk of no more than a mile or two

I’ll teach you to identify the edible plants (and those that are poisonous).

We’ll gather the good and at our hearth prepare a sumptuous and exquisite feast which we’ll eat together

The whole day is a delight putting us back in touch with the Earth and the wisdom of our Ancestors

The workshops are open for all ages.

Bring appropriate outdoor clothing, some water and something to keep you going until the feast is ready.

"I felt so inspired after your wonderful wild food day last week. I can't seem to get enough seaweed now and we've had several suppers on the beach. I found your grounded approach and respect for the abundant gifts of the earth and the ocean really helped me connect to our heritage and birthright. Many many thanks." Tor Loram
