Meet ancient allies that have supported us for thousands of years. Adaptogens have been used across the world to support our brains, immune systems, nervous and digestive systems. They are a class of herbs and mushrooms all of their own that promote longevity and improve our energy.  

In this class we will explore traditional adaptogens such as ashwagandha and schisandra, as well as their local counterparts such as nettle, oatstraw and red clover. We will also learn about local mushrooms such as maitake, reishi and turkey tail to learn about their benefits, preparations and harvesting techniques. We will learn how to prepare these herbs in nourishing ways and work with them as long-term allies. 

This is a hands-on introductory herbal workshop where we will learn plant identification, sustainable harvesting practices, and make remedies designed to build long term health.
