Event Overview

Have you ever been out on a walk in your neighborhood and wondered how many of the plants and trees you see are edible or medicinal? Would you like to make a stronger connection with nature?  Wait no longer Yoga of the Mind is partnering with Kate Armstrong a lifetime urban forager and herbalist to offer a series of workshops that will reveal the bouquet of food and medicines that are around you every day.  These will be hands-on workshops that will get you started foraging right away.

Your workshop leader Kate Armstrong started her lifelong plant education with her mother who came from a long line of farmers, plant people, and Smokey Mt. folk.  For example, spider webs will stop bleeding if laid over a cut, burdock or plantain leaves are good bandages or a little feverfew to relieve a headache.  Kate brings her easy interactive style of teaching to empower you to become an Urban Forager too!

Each individual Workshop is $30
