An 8-week Immersive Course with Plants, Flowers, and Herbs
A deeply immersive wildcrafting apprenticeship rooted in Earth’s cycles. Join us at The Kinlands for eight classes throughout the harvest season with Brianne Dela Cruz of Gather & Grow to learn the language of plants through the art of growing herbs and folk herbalism. We’ll tend, harvest, and wildcraft medicinal plants together through the harvest season in addition to learning about and honoring the earth’s seasonal cycles. Brianne will lead hands-on crafting workshops in the field and the Garden House covering various topics to fully immerse students into the world of growing, tending, and crafting with plants. Students will enjoy making herbal oil infusions, tinctures, oxymels, flower essences, decoctions, syrups, tea blends, herbal body products and more, all while syncing with the lunar and solar cycles and celebrating the Autumn season as a community in tune with the land.
