Wise Herbal Ways

Wise Herbal Ways – historical healing traditions, herbal knowledge, folk medicine, spirit, embodiment, and ancestral ways of knowing.

Step into the lineages of wise women and men — wyrtgælstre, cunning folk, and domestic herbalists — as we pull on threads to reveal older ways of understanding healing and rediscover the spiritual traditions of these lands.

Reclaim the knowledge rooted in the land through herbs, history, and decolonising herbalism. Learn the knowledge to look after yourself, your family and your loved ones.

This work is open to everyone but there will be a focus on the often hidden histories of women.
