Each spring, important medicinals emerge and quickly disappear. The Ephemerals.

Their value cannot be overlooked. This 6-part series is a deep dive into ephemeral medicine.

The objective of this series is to explore the properties of these medicinals

and, via appropriate medicine making, to ensure their availability to us throughout the year.

We’ll be working exclusively with medicinal herbs that thrive in-and-around the northeast,

with attention to with safety, sustainable harvesting and plant identification.

We will be making teas, decoctions, hydrosols, syrups, tinctures, vinegars, oxymels, glycerins and oils.

We’ll discuss technique and the advantages of each medicinal & culinary preparation.

Everything will be supplied.

Each participant will stock their own medicine chest with the medicinals that they make.

Handouts will support the development of transferable skills.

We will meet Saturdays in person, 10-2PM, on 4/27, 5/11 & 6/1
and online Thursdays 7-8PM 4/18, 5/2, 5/23.

Fee $395. Let’s talk if you would like to discuss a payment plan.
