⫸ FOREST MEDICINES Full Day Workshop with Hips & Haws Wildcrafts!
April 29th, 2023 • near Dublin, Ireland
An advanced discussion of Amanita muscaria and Forest Medicine with Ash Ritter/ Black Sage Botanicals and Courtney Tyler/ Hips and Haws Wildcrafts. Fungi and tree medicine and a homemade forest salve to bring home plus the knowledge to make more.
No man is an island, nor are mushrooms! Fungi, herbs, and trees are inherently intertwined in deep relationship, sharing their intelligences with each other, oftentimes for collective gain. In this workshop, we will explore the connections between Amanita muscaria and other wood-loving fungi, along with their favourite trees, exploring the medicines they provide both as individuals, and in synergy.

As the popularity of therapeutic fungi takes hold in the colonized west, the market is seemingly flooded with an endless array of packets, powders, bottles, and capsules, paired with a profusion of vague memes touting the benefits to our well being... but what’s really going on in there?
Together, let's weave historical, clinical, and traditional context with the fabulous world of edible and medicinal mushrooms, while learning how to maximize the therapeutic value of our cultivated, store-bought, and foraged fungi. Leave our talk with a spark of inspiration and a list of hot tips to make your own truly salubrious broths and extracts, while incorporating them in fun and delicious ways!

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS
One-on-one studies are one of my favorite things to offer. Custom-tailored, co-creative, and beautifully woven curriculum for head, heart, spirit, and collective. This is not just about understanding the medicine of the outer terrain, but also innerstanding the medicine you've carried all along, connecting the two into a cohesive, functional, living, breathing, practical synthesis.
A full term syllabus includes :: ethnobotany, traditional and clinical herbalism perspectives, mycology, history, botany, phytochemistry, hands-on apothecary techniques, and ancestral medicine, along with adjunct explorations based on your unique interests.
Mentorship programs are a minimum 1 year committment, and can be held in-person or via online video calls- though at least one visit to connect in the Sonoran Desert is highly recommended.
