HedgeWise
A monthly journey through the nature year making medicine with plants, crafts & earth wisdom in the ways of old.
​
Your HedgeWise journey will follow the seasonal growth of the plant world, beginning with the flowers in the spring and ending with roots in late fall.
​
You'll learn to make a variety of medicines from teas and tinctures, to salves and syrups to fermented drinks.
​
Medicine of All Kinds
Medicine comes in many different forms. When we make a beautiful basket, it's medicine for our soul. Its beauty feeds us in many ways.
​
Bringing our soul's expression out into the world through hand-crafting is valuable medicine where our creations become our personal talismans.
Each month, we'll hand-craft items such as drying racks for hanging your herb bundles, felted spirit dolls, rattles, fertility goddess effigies and your wooden "stirring the cauldron" spoon.

and unless the traveler takes the time to learn the rhythm,
he or she will remain an outsider there always." -Juliette de Bairacli Levy
