Join me in the Wild Moon forest and gardens. This is an invitation to immerse yourself into the natural world and her Spring medicines.
In this multi-workshop series, we will be wild foraging a variety of Spring herbs throughout the full season. You will learn how to identify these herbs, when and how to harvest them and how to make potent medicines for yourself and your family.
Spring is a transitional season and a time when the Earth is waking from her slumber, beginning to bloom and set the stage for summer. This season brings with it, herbs that specifically like to support the liver, the kidneys, the skin and detoxification. You will learn basic knowledge around these body systems and how the herbs work for and with these systems.
This workshop offers a multi-sensory experience, as you will taste, feel and smell each herb, experiencing them in multiple medicinal forms. You will learn how and where each herb likes to grow. These skills empower you to be able to identify these herbs no matter where you are, taking this wisdom with you throughout your life.
I am excited to be offering this potent in person series, where we can feel each other's energy and where you will not only learn from me but from the land herself, while connecting with the other students.
This series includes three 4 hour Saturday workshops throughout the Spring months of March, April and May

The entire workshop experience was surreal! Audrey shares her heart, soul and passion for herbs in everyday life. I enjoyed the feeling of being taken aback to my childhood, re-experiencing things that were hidden in my memory or forgotten. Her magical farm immerses you in nature and she is the most genuine guide. From learning the roots, stems and flowers of surrounding plants to how to use them in their raw state, in tinctures, salves and vinegars! The knowledge we gained can hardly be expressed in words, it truly must be experienced firsthand. I’m elated to hold knowledge and power to further heal and care for my family and others.

The spring herbalism series was such a delight and awakened even more the medicine woman within. Between being in a group of those with the same heart and interest in all things wild, and Audrey’s vast experience and knowledge, this was a treasure and I look so forward to more. The farm is a special sanctuary, so obviously loved and tended to. I appreciate it all so much!

Spending three magical Saturdays with like minded women in the woods was just what my heart and soul needed! Audrey was the perfect guide, inviting us all to dive into the world of plants and herbs using a variety of mediums to incorporate them into our daily lives. While I already knew or had tried many of the techniques that she taught, I was not as deeply familiar with all of the plants we covered. Additionally, I had not interacted with the plants in all of the ways she invited us to experience them. I had definitely never eaten spruce tips prior to the class! So yummy!! This series was magical! I would go back and take it all over again as I'm sure I would still learn more. Thank you, Audrey, for sharing your farm, your heart and passion for herbs, and your knowledge!!
