Scapa Fest are committed to providing powerful events, courses and activities that help participants explore the relationship between mind-body health, adventure and environmental action.
With this in mind we created Medicine Making in the Wild, a health immersive course which provides an exciting opportunity to learn how to forage for health and transform your harvest into ready-to-use medicine. A half-day health immersive with a twist of adventure and environmental action!
In this workshop, you will learn:
- How to identify healing plants suitable for transforming on the go, in the wild.
- The different processes for extracting medicine from plants.
- How to create 2 potent herbal remedies with minimal equipment: a hydrosol and herbal bandages.
This is a Must-Attend if…
- You are drawn to herbal medicine but don’t know where to start.
- You are new to herbal medicine making in the wild.
- You don’t have access to herbal medicine making equipment.
- You want to experience less reliance on buying and more self-sufficiency when it comes to using herbal remedies for yourself and your family.
- You want to learn all about traditional low tech herbal extraction methods.
- You know your body has a lot to say and you want to listen.
In addition:
You will leave with 2 ready-to-use herbal remedies made from plants you have foraged for your own personal use, plus a ton of practical advice on how to make more in your own time.
