Wild Human Nature
Join Julie Walker and Latifa Pelletier-Ahmed, as we explore what it means to be part of nature. Humans have an important role to play in each ecosystem. This role starts with awareness. By practicing awareness in the forest, learning ways to align with the plants, we are able to build a connection with them. A plant blessing and sustainable harvest techniques will be shared as we collect from healthy plant populations to nourish our bodies as food and medicine.
