Spring Foraging: Edible Weeds & Forest Herbs

During this workshop, I will guide you through gathering wild edibles and identifying medicinal plants in the forests of Strausberg (Brandenburg). We will discuss the importance of following the seasons, being in touch with nature, eating wild herbs and the impact these have on our health. Following this first part of our session, I will lead a workshop on using your hand-picked products for preparing a personalised tonic, these will depend on the plants we find. We will then end the workshop by enjoying the local lake and sharing an afternoon picnic together.

Sustainable, meditative, naturally medicinal, and healthy.

Gathering plants from their natural habitats gives us another layer of connection with nature. There is something very grounding about collecting, preparing, and using plants that grow naturally in our local forests. Like meditation, gathering allows you to be centred and in the moment. But there is something even deeper than this- a magical feeling that comes from the understanding of our symbiotic relationship with nature.

How to get there: catch the S5 (Strausberg Nord) direction. Get off at Strausberg Nord (the last station) there is also a station called Strausberg and Strausberg Stadt DON’T get off at these, wait until the very last station. I will pick you up from the station at 12 pm, please be on time as the train only comes every 20 mins, otherwise, everyone else is waiting.

To bring: Good walking shoes (we will be in a forest), a fabric tote bag/basket, scissors or something to harvest the plants with, water, forest clothes - weather requiring, as the workshop is held outside keep in mind that it can be cooler than in the city. I suggest long clothes due to ticks. I will make a few things for the picnic but please bring something to add so we can have a lovely fest together!

The workshop is 4 hours, but in some cases runs overtime so please leave adequate time for this.
