AvantGarden forest location and surrounding forest Wesendahlerstr. 15344 Strausberg
Late Summer New Moon and Full Moon Foraging Sessions.
Special note: social distancing and hygiene rules will need to be adhered to throughout the workshop.
During this workshop, I will guide you through gathering wild spring edibles and identifying medicinal plants in the forests of Strausberg (Brandenburg). We will discuss the importance of following the seasons, been in touch with nature, eating wild herbs and the impact these have on our health. Following this first part of our session, we will return to the forest garden of AVANTGARDEN and I will lead a workshop on using your hand-picked products for preparing a personalised tonic, these will depend on the plants we find.
Sustainable, meditative, naturally medicinal, and healthy.
Gathering plants from their natural habitats gives us another layer of connection with nature. There is something very grounding about collecting, preparing, and using plants that grow naturally in our local forests. Like meditation, gathering allows you to be centred and in the moment. But there is something even deeper than this- a magical feeling that comes from the understanding of our symbiotic relationship with nature.
How to get there: catch the S5 (Strausberg Nord / Westkreuz Line) direction Strausberg Nord. Get off at Strausberg Nord (last station). I will pick you up from the station at 12pm, please be on time.
