There is always plant medicine around us, waiting to be discovered, it is up to us to notice it. In this workshop, I will take you on a Herbal Journey, a nature walk through the surrounding landscapes to get you acquainted with local species. Open up your senses and dive into the infinite world of medicinal and aromatic plants.

Together, we will learn the basics of sustainable foraging and collect samples of some plants, after having learned to identify key medicinal herbs. Then, you will discover the ancestral practice of herbal smudging: a simple, local and sustainable form of incense. Finally, we will craft our own smudge sticks from the herbs we will have picked during the Walk.

By the end of the workshop, attendees will feel empowered to make their own herbal smudge sticks with the available local plants, with awareness of how to sustainably interact with their surroundings. Besides, each participant will be taking home a smudge bundle as well as the remaining samples of the various plants collected during the walk.
