Wild Medicine Tribe 2025-26
NEW for 2025
Come and join the Wild Medicine Tribe
Many of us are drawn to being in nature, learning the wisdom of our ancestors, and developing new Earth-based skills, which include foraging, making medicines and exploring a different way of being. We yearn to howl to the full moon and live in a way that is re-connective, healing and nourishing.
This is the Medicine of the Earth. Wild Medicine is soul medicine!
Join us for Wild Medicine Tribe 2025 as we deepen our re-connection to the land, learning about herbal medicine, wild foods, eco crafts, rewilding and ancient skills as we explore what it is to connect to nature in a way that is accessible and makes us feel happy. This is a great opportunity to spend time with two experienced medical herbalists and professional foragers as we share our love of plants and herbal skills with you.
Starting in May 2025 we bring you the best from our much-loved online herbal course now in its 6th year, along with new online live Zoom calls that help deepen herbal knowledge and skills.
In this short film we show you how to do a wild greens pesto using wild garlic, three-cornered leek, Nettle and Dandelion greens,
