Join us for our first event led by Melanie Yukov ! She is a skilled foraging guide, herbalist and health coach and we are SO excited to have her for our first event! She is an amazing teacher and community builder and offers so much knowledge in her classes! This event will be 3 hours total, in a Durham park (details coming soon after registration), where we will have a little nature stroll around the parking while Melanie discusses the wild plants around us and how they can be utilized for food and/or medicine and throws in some history too! It is such a great hands on experience as she encourages you to get personal with the plants, smell them, feel them, know them as knowing nature around you is so beneficial in life. After our nature stroll we will gather for more hands on experience while we make our own medicinal concoction! The plan so far is making immune-building fire cider which is super helpful when you need a quick immune boost. No need to pay for pills or supplements for preventative when you have nature all around you! It will be such a fun day spent with community outside:)

 As a bonus she will bring medicinal tea and a baked herbal treat included for all participants:) She will also be providing everything you need like jars and supplies so no need to bring anything, she also provides detailed NOTES for you so you don't have to worry about taking notes at the same time as listening and staying in the present moment. Melanie is AWESOME , there is no doubt you will have a great experience , many people will be new at learning this sort of thing so it is very beginner friendly (Melanie has lots of time for Q&A) and very inviting!
