Women and Earth Medicine

What does it mean to be part of nature? How do we live that in our day to day, now? Humans have evolved over time, through our relationship with the land. The plants as food, medicine and fibre are a deep part of us.

This workshop allows us to be deeply in the present, with the plant kingdom. Earthing, drumming and playful interactions on the land are all part of re-wilding our souls. Spending time with the plants that speak to us, is part of re-building our knowledge.  Meeting, greeting, observing and allowing our intuition and the plant kingdom to merge together and remember each other.

Meeting Locations: Meet up info and forms will be              e-mailed prior to the outing.

Price per person: $65

"In February 2019 I saw Julie Walker present at the 'Living in the Natural Environment' Event. Her presentation on 'The Wild Foods of the Forest Floor' was incredibly informative yet approachable. Her passion for wild edible plants is evident and I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. I was inspired to plant my very own native food garden, which is progressing nicely!"

“Thanks, I really enjoyed my hike with full circle adventures.  I think your guiding style is cool, a little of this and that and even a song, a poem and impressions of wildlife!"

Eva

“Hiking with Julie has awakened my senses, she has taught me to listen to Wildlife, hear running water, and learn about the birds around us. That heightened awareness brings so much pleasure to hiking on the trail.”

“Powderface Ridge was a magical day!”
