Root

ROOT is an exploration of the ecology of West Yorkshire with founding director Hannah-May. It is an exploration of wild food, reciprocal foraging & herbal medicine.

ROOT will consist of 7 group meetings between March & October. 5 in-person foraging walks (that include wild food tasting, wild ferment tasting & guided meditations) around West Yorkshire & 2 community feast days, where we gather around the fire, sing, share stories, dance, break bread, learn & share new skills & recipes for wild food processing & folk medicine. ROOT is a means of recovering, reconnecting & restoring our relationship with kith & kin.

Throughout our time together we will nurture a communal, online sharing space to share recipes, inspirations, poems & art inspired by our work with Plants. 

Alongside the grassroots community element of this course, there will be guided reading lists, activities, exercises & seasonal herbal teas to explore sensory tastings throughout our journey together. These materials will be posted to you at the beginning of the course, to complete as we journey through the year.

We won’t ask for proof of income, but trust you to select what you feel is most appropriate for you and help us to continue our community work in under-serviced areas.
