From these three workshops, you’ll learn how to :
- Use local herbs to heal and thrive as food, medicine and teacher
- Cook with wild foods to add superior nutrition and incredible flavours to your food
- Experiences from 1 new father about how he supported his partner’s pregnancy and birth using herbal remedies
- Tips to identifying local herbs and which wild Spring greens to eat
- Combine local herbs to deeply relax your body, mind and spirit so you can feel the peace in your heart
- Have a deeper and more intimate connection with Nature and the plant world all around you
Cost: All workshops are By-Donation with a suggested donation of $5-10 per workshop. No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
All profits will go to the Nelson Women’s Center.
Bitter: The Lost Flavour
Weds. Apr. 18, 2018

Did you know that bitter foods play a crucial role in human health?
So why has this complex flavour been abandoned in our modern diets?
Let’s go beyond the morning coffee and evening IPA, and rediscover the beauty of bitter foods!
In this workshop, we will explore:
- how bitter foods support digestion, vitality and emotional health
- common, easy to identify bitter plants you can harvest right about now
- delicious and simple ways to use these flavours in the kitchen
We will also sample some of the plants, and my favourite everyday recipes.
Come and expand your palate. If you like to eat food and be healthy, this workshop is for you.
