First, your guide Jessica will lead a beginner-friendly & nature-themed meditation to encourage gentle openness. Then, she will lead the guided walking portion, where we'll talk about plants and fungi. Some examples include Chicken of the Woods, madrone fruit, prickly pear cactus, lemonade berry, lilly pilly, Natal plum, mallow, dandelion, nasturtium, mustard, and other delights. You will learn how to begin identifying these on your own, avoid poisonous lookalikes, prepare finds for functional use (eating, decorating, etc), and gain insight into Traditional Chinese Medicine and holistic health. Ultimately, you'll walk away with newfound respect and joy for the planet we call home.Host:Jessica Lin (she/her) is a forager and gardener, fascinated by natural delights like fun, curly vines and heart-shaped leaves.
