michigan herb classes & workshops
(well, michigan and a few other states here & there...)
This is a list of my
scheduled walks & classes, through the end of
2008...
Please check back every now and again... I'm still working
on next years schedule and more herb classes will undoubtedly pop up
here and there, in different areas throughout Michigan or
elsewhere. If you'd like to be added to an email list that
gives information on my workshops, or to inquire about
other stuff I can or might do, just send an
email or call me at (248) 737-3589
Want to host a class, walk
or workshop?
I'm always happy to travel and spend time talking plants,
and can speak on a wide array of herbal topics. If you're
interested in having me offer herb classes in your neck of
the woods, just let me know...

I'll be hosting some
Friday evening classes with Minnesota herbalist Matthew
Wood when he's in town for the 6 month course... space
will be limited, but please contact me if you want to
receive an email notice when I have the details.
On 4/11, from 7-9:30,
he'll be discussing the Doctrine of Signatures.
It looks like I'll be up in
Traverse
City teaching along with the
brilliant herbalist & my friend
Joyce Wardwell on
April
19th from 9-4pm; more details as I get them
lined up...
Green Street Fair
Saturday May 3rd & Sunday, May 4th
10am-7pm & 10am-5pm
in downtown Plymouth, Michigan
A festival devoted to all things ecological, from
food to energy to art to herbs (that'd be me...).
In lew of just speaking there at some point, I'll have
my own booth and will wax poetic on all things plant
medicine for as long as my voice holds out, and if that
happens I'll just chew a bit of bitterroot and keep
going. Please note that while I'll be there to
talk at length about plants and how to responsibly use
them, I won't be offering "quicky consults".... If
enough green stuff has popped up by them, I wouldn't be
surprised to see some impromptu herb walks...

Summer Solstice Herb Walk
&
Holistic Wellness for Kids
(with
Jen Green, ND)
Saturday, June 21st
Time to be determined; probably afternoon
At
Tall Trees Community Farm
in White Lake
I'll be offering a
walk 'round Tall Trees to share the uses of some common
herbs (Yarrow, Goldenrod, Queen Anne's Lace, Nettle,
Dandelion, Plantain & more), as well as offering a
discussion on using herbs and other holistic measures to
help raise healthy, happy kids with
Jen Green, an amazingly
cool naturopathic doctor and good friend. This'll
be an open discussion, so come with questions and you'll
get solid, child tested insights from me & Jen.
Herbs,
Foods and Holistic Immunity
at
Weed Dance Farm in
Gobles, MI
(just west of Kalamazoo)
Saturday, June 28th
Times to be determined
Well, the title
will probably change, but that's the gist of it.
I'll be in SW Michigan and Shawna Greenway and I will be
discussing how to use foods and herbs to build immunity
from the our body's core outward, rather than trying to
kill bugs after they get into us (though we'll probably
elaborate on that a bit, too). yeah, June seems
like an unlikely time to talk about immunity, but it is
when several of the plants we'll be discussing are in
their prime and ready for collecting, which makes the
timing opportune.
All the fine
details can be had
here.
