Vervain, a sometimes forgetten treasure

Growing wild by the sides of roads and rivers... a gentle nervine sedative which helps to drop you into the body and out of the mind

Astringent and bitter, this herb is a grounding and clarifying force, in which studies have been done on its neuro - protective properties

Plantain is supportive on the skin and can also be eaten. It grows wild and can be found growing in your lawn

It's leaf is an oblong shape with vertical ribs

A way you can identify plantain is when you pick a leaf, threads like guitar strings will be exposed

Learn the language of plants this Febuary

On February 1st, we gather in Christmas Hills for a one-day immersion into Elemental Herbalism. A chance to learn the foundations, and begin (or continue) building your relationship with the plants and the elements

From February 6-9, we will carry that learning into Roots Festival, where these teachings come alive through tea meditations, workshops, and herbal offerings

And on February 22nd, is our Elemental Herbalism Summer Market at Abbotsford Convent. A place to learn from our guest speakers, source quality plant products, and to stay woven into this growing community

We look forward to seeing you all soon! 🌿

How to choose a herb (without Google)

Elemental Herbalism asks:

What’s happening in my body right now?

Cold or hot?
Dry or damp?
Wired or depleted?

When we learn to listen to these cues, choosing a plant becomes less about guessing

You can step into this way of learning with us on
Feb 1: One day training
Feb 6-8: at Roots Festival
Feb 22: Herbalism Market
March 12-15: Four Day Training

All of these links can be found in our bio, or comment which you would like to hear more about, and we will DM you 💚

One of the most commonly asked questions that we get is, "where can I go foraging, and what should I harvest"?

This is a little visual guide to help you on your missions. Remember to double check and get a second opinion regarding correct plant ID 🌿
