These peaceful and relaxing workshops focus on getting to know some of our seasonal plants more intimately, using our senses and intuition as well as practical interaction and creative writing. 

 

We visit a selection of native plants in the meadows; discussing our intuitive observations when we sit quietly beside them, exploring the sensations they provoke when handled, smelt and tasted, and connecting all these characteristics to their medicinal actions and practical use. We'll also dive a little deeper into their folklore and stories. 

 

From five star tinder to ritual teas, healing vinegar, seasonal seasonings, and soothing bite balms, you'll definitely be leaving with a deeper connection to nature!​​​

​

Take a look at our Wild Woman Hen Parties and our Wild Woman page. 

​

Led by storyteller and ethnobotanist Pridie Tiernan and writer and dancer Jodie Bond, our Wild Woman events feature a perfect mix of empowering wilderness skill instruction, mindful nature-connection and raw, untamed play for women wanting a wilder type of experience!

​

​This is a chance for women to come together and explore their fullest, wildest selves in a safe and fun space; relaxing, listening, feeling, laughing and embracing the powerful, untamed force that is our wild woman unleashed!

 

This experience is for everyone. It's about plants, potions, ceremony, singing, stories and sisterhood.

This fun and creative workshop will see you using bark to make brushes, creating and painting with natural ink, having a play with plant dyes and getting creative with clay fairy faces!

Her work weaves folktales and fairytales into living experiences that invite listeners back into an active relationship with the land. Her performances encourage a deeper awareness of native plants, trees and the creatures, blending myth and ecology into something both timeless and urgently relevant.
