Plant Walk + Wild Crafting with Katya

On Sunday October 1st, we will take a walk together to the beautiful Foundry Preserve to ID and wild harvest a few beautiful medicinals, including mugwort, ground ivy, poke root, celandine, burdock and motherwort. We will take a moment to marvel at these precious plants in their wild habitat, and bring some of them back to Ascend in order to turn them into beautiful plant medicine, such as smudge sticks, teas, oils, and tinctures. You will take home a magical smudge stick, fresh mugwort tea and oil, and ground ivy tincture which you will be able to use this winter for coughs, any ENT issues and to strengthen the respiratory system. 

Join us for this fun, hands-on and highly experiential workshop for nature lovers and those interested in green medicine!

The plant walk and the medicine making will be led by Katya Varlamova, our own in-house clinical herbalist (aka “plant mama”) and Ascend maker / founder of “Warmicita Herbals.”
