Winter Class Series

Check out our pop-up weekend adult programs this winter season! They’re a perfect chance to get outdoors, alone or with friends - and make great gifts!

  • 1/15 - Medicine Making I - Tinctures and Salves: 10a-2p. We will learn to make tinctures and salves, two essential preparations for your medicine chest. Having the knowledge to make your own medicine will give you the resources to take care of you and your loved ones. We will make a heal-all salve and an immune tincture.​
​
  • 1/21 - Medicine Making II - Fire Cider, Vinegars & Broths: 11a-2p Vinegar is an exceptional menstrum for medicine making and is commonplace in most peoples kitchens. You will walk away from this class knowing how to make an acetate, a powerhouse immune booster, and how to upgrade your broths with bones, mushrooms and herbs using vinegar. Come hungry!
 
  • 2/11 - Kindling the Fire for couples:  10a-1p Fire starting and tending has a lot to teach us about awareness, communication and intention. It can be a perfect metaphor for our own growth and that of our relationships. Join us for a fun day where you will build confidence in fire making through ancestral fire skills such as flint and steel, bow drill, long matches and fire tending.
 
  • 2/11 - Open Telescope: 6-8pm. Space is big. Come check out the moon, some planets, stars and possibly an entire galaxy with an open 10” telescope. We’ll consider the size, shapes, scales and speeds of all the strange and enormous things overhead, and reconnect to our ancestral skills of orienting by the stars. All ages.
 
  • 3/4 and 3/5- Spoon Carving Class- 9-4. Learn the traditional art of green wood spoon carving in this 1-day workshop! Over the course of our time together we'll learn everything from axe work to knife techniques, oil finishes to wood selection - and much more.
