Online & In-person Herbology Course - Urban Foraging - Herbs - City Nature For around 20 years, I have been working with herbs. My own mentor is Glennie Kindred.

Join me for fascinating herb walks in Amsterdam, mentoring sessions, workshops or a year long apprenticeship through online study and gatherings. I have studied herbalism (non-clinical) in the UK, also with American wise woman Susun Weed, studied Permaculture with Patrick Whitefield and gained my PDC from Permaculture Visions. I am a member of the Dutch Gilde van Wildplukkers. I strongly favour and recommend nourishing/tonic and perennial herbs above others and recommend that you seek expert advice before trying to treat any problem with herbs. I only harvest what I am absolutely certain of and advise anyone else trying it to do the same. Let me empower you to work deeply with the plants which grow around you.

Look what arrived today!
My copy of Herbs magazine from — a lovely yuletide surprise on my doormat 📚✨

I began as a voluntary trustee for this wonderful society earlier this year. Even though I live and practice in the Netherlands, I’ve long admired their mission: to deepen understanding of herbs and their uses — in health, culture, folklore, and everyday life — and to make that knowledge accessible and shared across generations 🌿

Herbs magazine always feels like an invitation to slow down, learn, and stay curious about the plant world.

Are you reading anything herbal or seasonal at the moment? I’d love to know 👇

Really enjoyed the Winter Solstice gathering, for Druids and Witches in Amsterdam this evening. Here are some of the things that added a little sparkle there. I hope the spark of inspiration glows within you also today, and going forward. Thank you to everyone who came along. Your company and cascading Awens were beautiful /|\

A cosy winter borrel by the fire 🔥 Can you see and hear the Rosemary on there?🌿

🌿 The Green City Witch Course is here 🌿

For those who want to live magical lives in towns and cities — this one’s for you.

After many months of weaving, filming, recording, and dreaming, I’m so happy to finally share The Green City Witch: a 13-moon online course designed to help you live a grounded, nature-connected, magical life right where you are.

✨ New content released at each New Moon
✨ Ritual, lifestyle, spellcraft & techniques
✨ Working with urban plant & animal allies
✨ Audio, video, photos & written guidance
✨ No homework — just inspiration, ideas & practices you can actually live with
✨ 4 live webinars per year
✨ Rooted in my book The Green City Witch, but going deeper

This course is gentle, practical, and alive — created to support real lives in real cities. Not overwhelming. Not performative. But sparking magic and helping it to take root.

🌱 Launch offer:
The first cohort (starting this Saturday) is 50% off so currently:
€125 one-off or €12 per month ×12
(Offer closes Saturday)

The second cohort begins 18 January.

What a gig!

This walk has been fully booked for a long time, but one person has just cancelled. So it's a space for one person. If you would like to come along, the ticket is available here: https://buytickets.at/greencitywitch/1823910

What a day. I’ve just wrapped up leading the Artisans of Taste hyper local botanicals masterclass with Diplomático Rum here in Amsterdam — an intense and inspiring session with some of the country’s most curious bartenders.

We explored local herbs, rum, chocolate, honey, elixirs, and other infusions that I’ve been quietly preparing over the past months. The conversations were sharp, the questions deep — everything from sustainable sourcing to flavour layering to how far a herb walk can take a cocktail.

Hands sticky with honey and syrup by the end — and a .amsterdam daiquiri that sealed it perfectly.

Grateful for the attention, humour and open minds in the room, and to excellent organisation. I'm so looking forward to learning what the mixologists make of it all.

Here's to more rum, herbs, and fun!

So it didn't really melt during the night. More beautiful of anything. Quiet, dry, bright. My talk is this afternoon - foraging as part of my spiritual path. The herbs I would harvest in my workshop are all blanketed in snow. The trees stand tall - as always - but now more proud and evident. I'm planning a walk, then a simple ritual with snow and a candle. What would you weave into the experience?

Quick after-lunch wander through the pine forest today.

Quick questions before I disappear into the mountains tomorrow…

I’m heading to Triglav National Park in Slovenia for a symposium on foraging, scavenging and gleaning in times of ecological and economic uncertainty. It’s a small, speaker- only gathering — more like a foraging think tank than a conference — and I’ll be bringing my perspective on foraging as a spiritual activity, in towns and cities. The focus on being intertwined with the other than human being that are foraged.

Fine planning today and would love to carry some of your voices to Slovenia. So:

• What questions would you want asked in that space?

• What do you think others there should hear about urban foraging — the culture, the access, the politics, the feelings, the sacred side?

• Any stories, or hopes you would like in the room?

I’m really excited (and a bit in awe) to be part of this — so if something comes to when you read this, drop it in the comments, and I’ll take it add it to my planning brew.

So what would you distil in this little lovely?
