With Tyler K , Herbalist and Land Steward
Join us for a day of community and giving back to our Earth Mother! We will learn ways to work in partnership with nature to steward the land for the next 7 generations of all beings.
This hands-on workshop is for anyone interested in cultivating a deep and harmonious relationship with the land they live on. All participants will gain a deeper understanding of regenerative practices and land stewardship to take home and apply in your local community.
Participants should be ok with standing for long periods of time and manual labor such as planting trees. We will be working in teams so we can accommodate different mobility levels and you may bring a chair and observe the working portions if needed.
