Group Herbalist Mentorship in NJ

Beginning in May of 2017, I’ll be taking another group of students for a year of training and honing their skillsets. This mentorship will be unlike the last 2 years and represents a well-rounded practice of living “off-grid” and on your own ingenuity and skill-set.

This will be the fourth year that I will be running a year-long mentorship to systematically teach each student to work in depth with the diverse plant based skills that are essential for nomadic hunter gathering pathways. Each student, among getting to know the plants inside and out, will also progressively be brought to a state of camping “self reliance” and have the ability to go anywhere and wildcraft food and medicine.

Scheduled Meeting Dates:

Shelter – May 12-14 – Develop your own camp site, learn to camp and refine backpack gear, first aid kits, car packing, identify and forage edible and medicinal spring plants.

Fire – July 14-16 – Once the gear and camp is easily set up, we will practice and discuss the intricacies of different firemaking aspects, including understanding firemaking techniques for different ecosystems and weather patterns, what can be harvested off of the landscape, and cooking and food preparation, This will be interspersed with plant walks, observation of growth patterns of differing plants and trees.

Water – September 15-17 – Wild water harvesting, purification techniques, and ways to track landscapes for acquiring drinking water, mushroom identification and hunting aspects, and herbal medicine making and preserving aspects.

Food and Medicine – November 17-19 – this is the time when camping becomes colder and gear becomes refined, learn to condition your body and dress appropriately, to keep and maintain fire, to prepare foods on fire, and to make medicinal preparations from the plants we have gathered throughout our adventure. There will likely be wildcrafted mead to celebrate a beautiful year together.

Friday (6 pm) to Sunday (4 pm) 4x throughout the year
