Britain's What's On Event Guide
Autumn Herbals Weekend
An immersion into plant medicine with community herbalist Rasheeqa Ahmad.
About the event:
We will meet the season of fruitfulness as the summer flowering transforms into richness of berries and seeds.
Through the weekend we will walk the land and touch into the healing elements of the garden and wild plants growing around the grounds of Braziers. We will make friends with herbs of the season, gather those that are in abundance to make autumn greeting remedies for our health and wellbeing. Spend a couple of days slowing into noticing, sensing, exchanging energy with plants and learning about our ancient bodily and spiritual connections with them.
Together we’ll prepare a small set of medicines for you to take home and have their support through the next season, as well as the methods and recipes to continue your making journey.
