City Wellness: Wild Foraging with Woodland Cooking & Breathwork
Come join us for a day of adventure and relaxation at Hackney Marshes! Learn the art of wild foraging as we explore the local area, including Millfields park and Walthamstow Marshes. Our exploration will be interspersed with wild tasters prepared by Fergus The Forager, which will include tantalising syrups, sweet treats and saps helping us understand how we can utilise the plants and herbs around us.
Kerry from Together we Breathe, will begin the day with a grounding session giving us time to connect in a deeper way with nature. We will pause for moments during the day to check with the breath, allowing precious time to - Just Be, and end the day with a deep relaxation session, enabling us to tie together all aspects of wellbeing that mother nature brings. We will at Lunch time enjoy a wild soup eaten under the trees, and carry on our adventure amongst the plants. After more breathwork we will finish through creating some delicious wild dumplings: after gathering plants relevant to Chinese dumpling gathering plants relevant to Chinese dumpling making we will each be able to create unique combinations of flavour. We will then, with Fergus’ guidance, be able to customise our dumplings with the other plants collected during our forage, such as cow parsley, wild garlic, even some fungi perhaps. As we enjoy our dumplings, you may ask any foraging questions you have for Fergus and Tevin regarding Herbivore.
