HONOURING
New & Old Growth
A nine week course featuring live online workshops with an incredible array of brilliant practitioners including not only our Amanda, but the fabulous Scott Richardson-Read and founder of the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine Keith Robertson!
This course is for those who know that there’s vital medicine to be found off the beaten track.
Celtic Plantlore is intended to help us follow our pull to reconnect with land and lore.
Together, we’ll explore folk medicine stories & songs, herbal traditions born from political struggle, and the long relationship between people and the green world, both historical and present-day.
We’ll look at how plants have carried communities through hard times and helped them grow again.

Join herbal storyteller Amanda Edmiston (Botanica Fabula) for a folkloric wander into Deneholme woods. She will be sharing some of the stories, lore and traditions associated with the plants we encounter, looking at the patterns created by the words and the remedies the plants have been connected to as we walk through the woods, then gathering in the Beech circle to work with the group to create herbal stories and remedies of our own.
