About this Event

- Regional medicines: materia medica for regional-specific plants and mushrooms

About Marika: "I am a bioregional herbalist. While the definition of that term means something different for everyone, to me it means that my practice as an herbalist is inseparable from the Pacific Northwest through familial generational ties, my relationships with farmers, and most importantly, my personal relationship to this land through farming, foraging, stewardship, and so much more.
I worked on farms here in Washington from 2013 to 2020, primarily vegetable and mushroom farms; I’ve even plowed crops with oxen like back in the old days! In 2018, I completed an interdisciplinary degree from the University of Washington in Environmental Studies & Sciences, focusing on Pacific Northwest ecology, sustainability, and more. I began my journey as a folk herbalist in the Central Cascade Foothills in 2014, and have since completed multiple programs and studied under teachers such as Sajah Popham, Michael Moore, and Matthew Wood.
