During one-day workshops, I will guide you through gathering wild plants in the forests of Brandenburg focusing on the impact of the current lunar stage on the plants. Following this first part of our session we will return to the home of AVANTGARDEN and I will lead a workshop on using hand-picked products for preparing tonics, these will depend on the plants we find. Finally, we will use the rest of the collected plants to create a home-made lunch. 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 centered 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: Take the S5 to Strausberg Nord (end station) and I will meet you there.
To bring: Good walking shoes (we will be in a forest), a fabric tote bag/basket, some warm clothes - weather requiring, as the forest is cooler than you expect!
