The West Kortright Center is proud to present the Deeply Planted Herbal Toolkits for Resilience Workshop

Saturday August 23th from 1pm til 4:30pm. $65 plus a $15 materials fee 

East Meredith - To be deeply planted is to have well-established roots- roots that connect us to ancestral knowledge, community, place, and the nourishing practices that sustain us. When we are nourished, we are resilient. And resilience allows us to thrive in the face of adversity. 

Plants embody resilience. When exposed to stress, they grow stronger. They adapt to harsh conditions by developing protective compounds. They evolve while remaining true to their essence. They forge relationships of mutual support with the living world around them. 

How can we learn about resilience from these green teachers, our Plantcestors? 

In this workshop. we will gather with a council of local medicinal Plantcestors at their peak expression in the Catskill’s late summertime 

Among them: Goldenrod, Purple Asters, Echinacea, various Mints, Calendula, Mugwort, Sunflower and more. 

This experience includes: 

~ An immersive learning segment in which participants will learn about a selection of local medicinal plants 

~Guided meditation / journaling time inspired by what is growing on the land surrounding West Kortright Center

~Guided hands-on creation time during which participants will make their own “Resilience Toolkit” consisting of protection sprays, immune tonics, and a pouch of custom blended dried and fresh herbs.
