Join us for a weekend of medicinal plant exploration that will begin a lifelong relationship between you and local plants. During this weekend program, we will introduce you to the basics of plant medicines with hands-on identification, medicine making, and botanical instruction.
We will practice deep connection to the forest and individual plants – with the purpose of sending you on a connection journey that will last a lifetime. Our approach is both intellectual and intuitive. This will help you create a multifaceted relationship with native and local plants to support your specific health needs on many levels.
Some medicines we will make:
- Tinctures
- Oils
- Infusions
- Food as medicine and more!
Making your own medicine is empowering, holistic and can increase connection to yourself, others and the bursting pharmacopeia out your back door!

Meet Your Instructors:
Lindsay Huettman
Lindsay has over 20 years of training and experience with plants of the Pacific Northwest. Studying plants has been a core focus of Lindsay’s life and passion. She has experience with native plant re-introductions, permaculture, organic farming/gardening, wildcrafting, landscaping with native plants, ethnobotany, arboriculture, plant intuition, and is a plant science dork.
Lindsay holds a Bachelor’s degree in Ethnobotany, and a MA in Counseling Psychology (LMHC). The root of her knowledge comes from thousands of hours of “dirt time”, study and an intentionally cultivated relationship with the land. As you will learn, the best education is spent getting your hands dirty and connecting deeply with plants in wild places!
