“I'm determined to be more than modern. I'm tired of plastic, synthetic, and curated. I want wild nourishment that I can feel in my soul."

Any of these describe your current situation?

• If you have to eat one more romaine or spinach salad, you're going to scream.  You want deep, meaty flavors, bitter greens, and robust nourishment that strengthens the core of who you are. 

• You didn't think the Special K Challenge would become the story of your life, but now you're so hungry -- and for what, you do not know. The grocery store feels empty, bland, and hopeless. You want life -- not some cardboard interpretation. 

• You're surrounded by green, but you don't know any of it. You want to know the names of things, their flavors and uses. You want to connect with the wild, not just read about it in books.

• And maybe you're bored. You eat the same things every day, every week. You meal prep the same foods, the same tasteless calories that you feel compelled to count. And there's this sense that there must be more to life, to food, to nourishment. There must be.

Western Herbalism

During this webinar, we'll cover the basics of Western Herbalism, including: 

• A basic plant monograph, or biography, of each kitchen herb
• An introduction to herbal actions (or the special vocabulary that defines what each plant does; e.g., diuretic, astringent, etc.) 
• The tastes of each herb and what that indicates for holistic health; e.g., sour, bitter, sweet etc.
• The energetics of each herb, or the way that it corrects holistic imbalances; e.g., repairs tissue, opens the pores etc.

How to Find It

Foraging used to be generational knowledge, with families visiting the same sites season after season. In many cases, we've now lost that connection to our environment, which is why we'll discuss:

• How to find each plant in the wild, whether we're looking along riverbanks, in the woods, or along the ditches
• The soil types each plant prefers, from moist to disturbed (as well as what that soil type means for the plant's medicine)
• And any safety tips for identifying the correct plant and not a poisonous lookalike. We'll also cover potential allergies of note, just in case.

Meet your teacher

Hi, I'm Amber 

I'm a Louisiana native determined to help people heal themselves. You might already be familiar with my newsletter, which helps individuals detach from Big Pharma and reconnect with Nature in 10 days, or maybe you've come across my work with bees and structured water.

But I've been mastering the art of herbalism for the past decade, gaining certification in holistic herbalism through The School of the Sacred Wild, studying with Matthew Wood, and even apprenticing with Ariella Daly in bee medicine. I'm also Circadian Certified through the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology and was mentored by Carrie Bennett as a quantum health clinician. 

Forage & Food is my personal invitation to branch out and find new flavors that, during certain times of the year, are bursting all around you. Unlike the rare plants that cost a fortune to order from isolated mountains in Nepal, these wild weeds grow almost everywhere. They are abundant, nutritious, and deeply healing on both the physical and spiritual planes.

To connect with a wild weed is to connect deeper with a hidden aspect of yourself. And by building a relationship with these plants, you'll fall in love with your environment, the seasons, and the flavors your body has been craving all along. This is more than just foraging for your next salad; it's herbal medicine that connects you with a time, a place, and a moment. It's medicine for the soul. 

Because I believe in the body's ability to heal...

And I know that if you're given the right tools, you can heal yourself. Now, that's a tricky word in legal circles, so please note that I'm not saying cure. Healing is bigger than that. Healing is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even energetic. 

So, yes, we're going to cover the healing abilities of these wild weeds, their traditional uses, and the many ways that you can add them to your diet and apothecary -- but this is about forging a deeper connection to Nature and ourselves. This is about answering the call of the wild. 

Now, of course, please be careful when you forage and double check every plant before you consume it. I am here to give you the tools; you are the one who must use them wisely. And at the end of the day, you are your own master and the only one responsible for your choices. Please harvest and consume responsibly.
