Join us for a hands-on workshop taught by clinical herbalist Cassidy Moss, where you will learn how to harvest, dry, and prepare medicinal herbs. We'll cover ethical wildcrafting, proper harvesting techniques, and different preservation methods - including drying, basic tincturing, and water infusions. This workshop will give you the confidence to take wild and cultivated herbs and process them into medicinal preparations.
About the instructor, Cassidy Moss: Cassidy is a clinical herbalist based in Seattle working with clients worldwide. Her passion for plant medicine came from working with the land and learning the herbs that were traditionally used by many cultures as primary healthcare methods. She previously managed a biodynamic farm on Whidbey Island and has hosted a few gardening workshops in the past.
