This program will dig deep into two common local f

Forager and mycophotographer Sarah LeTourneau will begin with a presentation on mushroom foragi ng\, covering safety and identification\, habitat\ , processing\, and the remarkable health benefits of these widespread wild mushrooms.
\n \nF ollowing the presentation\, participants will lear n how to turn mushrooms into medicine with a hands -on tincture-making workshop. Locally-gathered rei shi and turkey tail will be used to demonstrate th e double-extraction method\, and all participants will craft their own tinctures to keep.
\n \nJoin us for an afternoon appreciating the incre dible gifts of the fungal world! The tips\, concep ts\, and medicine-making methods covered in this c lass can be applied to other mushrooms\, so partic ipants will leave not just with tinctures\, but wi th a steady foundation for continued exploration a t home.

\n \n
F oraging is the act of finding and gathering wild f ood and medicine - but it is so much more. This co urse is an invitation to rekindle our age-old rela tionships with the land beneath our feet - to deve lop the skills\, knowledge\, and practices that ar e a critical part of our sense of place. Through t his work\, we can provide ourselves with healthy\, FREE food and medicine\, become more self-reliant \, and connect on a deeper level to the landscape in which we live.
\n \n
\n This weeken
d-long session will provide foundational knowledge
for those interested in beginning (or deepening)
their path towards building a relationship with th

yday life\, and gaining the knowledge to confident
ly share with others. Expect a diverse array of le

-on exercises\, and the opportunity for plenty of
tasting of both raw and prepared wild foods. \

So too do the activities of cold-season gatherers\, t racing the flow of energy into the roots\, stems\, and "\;interior"\; parts of plants. Like the stillness of the landscape on the threshold of winter\, wild foods and medicines are less conspi cuous\; and yet abundance persists\, well-suited f or our wintertime needs.
