Workshop

Immerse yourself in the shifting energy of the Earth as you ground with each step on our magical journey through parks, forests and green spaces.. 

As you explore the wild plants our ancestors used for medicine, and food to sustain themselves, their family, and their community.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a beginner’s training on identifying wild plants and medicine making with Sankofa Green-Quinnie’s Kitchen.

Those new to identifying wild plants and herbal medicine making will be introduced to the benefits of using wild plants for food, and medicine, the importance of native plants for biodiversity in your diet, ethically sustainable harvesting practices, and how to identify wild plants to increase food security.

​

Our ancestors knew how to use the plants growing in abundance around them for food and medicine. It was a way of life to consume food growing wild and free which embedded their microbiome (gut) with diversity creating a multitude of healthy gut flora and immunity.

Allow yourself to find answers to difficult questions, and observe objects in nature that are representative of your life's journey.

 

Our day starts with a  plant walk through some of the beautiful urban settings and parks where you will learn the names, physical characteristics, medicinal, and nutritive properties of plants growing prolifically in your lawns and public space. We make medicinal concoctions  from plants foraged during our walk and plants that the instructors will share from their apothecary and garden(optional).
