Engage your senses in an immersive exploration of herbalism and ritual. You’ll move through interactive stations, tasting locally foraged teas, crafting intention-based spell jars, making smudge bundles, and contributing to a community recipe book. As you work with plants, you’ll reflect on traditional knowledge, self-care, and your relationship with the land.
