In June, I had the honor of teaching at the 4th Annual Herbal Hoedown. I am happy to say, my class on Goldenrod was well received and I loved sharing all the amazing properties of the Golden Beauty. This opportunity made me realize how much I miss teaching and sharing face-to-face. Although, this blog has the ability to reach countless people all over the world, it simply cannot replace the excitement of the physical interaction and feedback of old-school teaching.
This desire has planted a seed. Over the past couple of years, Mike and I have been discussing the possibilities of how to cultivate our little company Know Your Roots. We both have a strong knowledge base, a desire to share and to make a positive difference. Although, our passions overlap (hey, we are married), our approaches are rather different. Basically, I am a forager and he is a cultivator.
I am so excited that we are starting a series of classes. My classes will focus on foraging, herbs, medicine making, and exploring the natural world. I will lead a variety of hikes. Some for people of all ages others for parents with babes in arms and toddlers, who would like to spend time in the woods with their little ones but needs some support and guidance. Mike’s classes will focus on cultivating and caring for fruit trees and small fruits as well as transitioning them to organic. Most of our classes will be held in Trumansburg, NY, which is about 10 miles outside of Ithaca between Cayuga and Seneca Lake.
I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching the first class:
The Golden Answer
Saturday, September 13, 2014
1:00pm-3:00pm
During this class, we will explore the amazing world of Goldenrod and discuss the countless healing powers of this Golden Beauty. I hope you will join us and learn about its abilities to ameliorate allergy symptoms, support the urinary system, and soothe pain. And that’s just for starters. You will also learn to make a tincture to bring home.
