Saturday 19th October – Apple day at Lathcoats Farm (for anyone interested, not really a herbal event, just a chance to meet some of our local food producers)
Saturday November 2nd – Magical Healing Herbs – on this special day, when we remember our departed ancestors, we are also reminded of our links with the past traditions. In using herbs for our health, food and healing rituals we are continuing and keeping some of these traditions alive. We will talk about some mysterious and magical herbs and make something a ‘tad magical’ to take away. Small additional charge for the materials might apply.
Saturday November 30th – Herbs for Christmas – if enough interest, this could be a longer day (10-4) with making an Advent wreath with herbs, herb-inspired Christmas decorations and some herb-based little gifts. There would be some additional cost for the materials. Please collect any interesting bits: seedheads, cones, grasses, berries, herbs, that you would like to use on the day.
Saturday December 14th– almost a festive meeting, bring and share herb and inspired Christmas foods and some traditional treats. Let’s de-stress with Christmas spices and herbs. Gifts of Myrrh, Frankincense and Gold (Cinnamon, Cloves, Rosemary, Juniper, Lavender and others)
Saturday January 25th (2014): Coughs and Sneezes: common herbs and for winter colds. Teas, syrups, cordials. Kitchen spices and herbs useful in colds. Tasting: please bring and share all those lovely cordials and syrups you have made earlier!
Saturday March 1st Mardi Gras – ‘Feast and Fast’ meeting. We share some delicious foods, followed by herbs for Lent. Spring cleansers for health and well-being. Weather permitting, we will collect some important Spring herbs to detox and augment our health, ravaged by Winter and excesses of Christmas season. Good to kick-start to a detox or shedding the winter pounds….
Please let Monika know if you are coming for 30th November meeting as places will be limited.
