Medicinal plant walks
Would you like to explore the seasonal medicinal plants growing in abundance here in East Lothian?
Learn how local herbs could support a specific health or wellbeing issue?
Or see the landscape around you in a whole new light?
We all had access to this knowledge and shared it homes and communities until not very long ago, and my intention with these led walks is to begin a healing through a process of (re)connection with this wisdom. It’s more than just knowing which herbs do what; take part in the creation of your own remedies, rituals, practices and medicine.
I can suggest locations for our 1.5 hour walk at Yellowcraig (near Dirleton) or The Law (North Berwick)
The price is per walk - so come on your own to focus on a specific interest, or with a friend and share the cost.
These actions are a form of activism: take control, make your own choices, heal yourself, heal nature. This is, after all, ‘the people’s medicine’.
You’ll learn about a range (typically 10 - 15) of plants, confidently identifying them and finding out what they can be used for;
You’ll taste the herbs - one of the best ways to connect with new herbs is by drinking it as a tea, so I bring a seasonal tea or two to taste as we go. This is a way to appreciate the energetics of the plant, offering insight into what they might offer us;
Using some sustainably sourced herbs, we’ll make a remedy ‘in the field’, connecting you with nature’s healing gifts;
I will follow up our walk with an PDF document containing information for reference. These notes and recipes are bespoke to the content of the walk which is guided by Mother Nature, so during the session we follow our instincts and intiuitions!
You don’t need any previous experience or knowledge, these walks are suitable for complete beginners and everything is explained.
