How to connect more deeply to nature through offerings and slowing down and using our senses to fully observe
Individuals who aspire to live more sustainably or connect more closely with the land. They are ideal for those seeking to reclaim control over their lives, health, and spirituality, while nourishing their body, mind, and soul with highly nutritious food. These walks cater to those who think beyond the mainstream and have some experience in nature. Those who like to explore and hunt for treasures. We cater to adult groups or groups of children, or even groups of families and friends.
We ask for a non-refundable deposit of 10 percent. the rest is due the day of the outting
1-2 hours of walking (depending on how the group feels). We will take a break for a prepared wild snack I provide, and up to 1 hour for discussion.
Some public locations don’t want us taking things with us. That being said, I believe we can make our own judgements. We wont have time to stop harvest a lot. We should be able to taste plants along our walks or forage a tea or salad to prepare together. You can always come back another time to do more harvesting.
If you have a property, want to co-host or co-organize walks, or have a group of people you want to get out with, reach out. We may be looking for these partnerships. We can offer nature meditations, plant ID discussions, nature crafts such as wild rope, natural ink, dye and more.
We wish to work more with homeschooling groups, and heart centred organizations. We also sell small batches of preserved wild food & medicines for people within our community, reach out
