Join Vicky and I, at my home in Taynuilt, for this special celebration.

 

Imbolc, literally translated, means "In the belly" and refers to the time when the Ewe's belly would start to grow as her lamb developed inside her.

For our ancestors, this was a turning point in the year, when the days were slowly becoming longer and many plants began to gently awake from their winter slumber, gifting the promise of regeneration and much needed nutrients after a long dark winter.

 

Join us to celebrate this turn of the wheel, feasting on wild foods, wildcrafting, wild fermentation, wild herbal teas, a fire circle and a master class on ancestral fire lighting.

 

During our session we will learn;

• The art of wild fermentation

• How to light a fire using ancestral techniques

• How to forage for wild food, medicine and wild crafting materials safely and sustainably

• Foraging and the law

• How to identify a wide variety of wild plants

• How to make wild teas, infusions and tinctures

• How to make the most of our common kitchen herbs

• How to connect with the Earth on a deeper, more meaningful level

​

All equipment will be provided for the day. You just need to book your place and turn up!

You will leave with two jars of your own wild crafted ferments and will receive a follow-up email detailing how to look after your ferments and all the plants we met or discussed on the day, along with a list of other resources.
