Summer Foraging Walks & Nettle fibers (Making your own Cordage)

Come walk with me during summer, and learn with me about the plants growing around you. Summer is all about abundance, berries and developing seeds. There are so many creative ways to process wild food and use it in a fun nurturing way. But there's also more ways to help support yourself and your community with plants. How do you recognize plants, build a reciprocal relationship to the land, en how can you use them to incorporate them into your life? During the summer walks I'll talk about plants, folklore, historical and modern day uses and wildcrafts.

What grows, roots, and blooms around you is not only a valuable skill, but also everyone's right. Yet, many of us can no longer name the plants that have been present in our native landscape for millennia. We are part of nature. We often notice that, in addition to useful skills, we also feel mentally better and more connected to the world around us as soon as we immerse ourselves in nature. In this way, you realize that self-reliance is not an isolated topic, but is connected to an indirect societal issue.

During the break, you'll get a wild drink and snack, and I'll teach you how to extract fibres from nettles and make cordage with it. With this cordage you make a bracelet and make your own clay bead based on historical replica's. The clay can be mixed with my own made plant pigments to colour the clay. 

Time: 10.00 to 13.30

The walk will take place with a minimum of 3 participants! Unfortunately, dates that do not have enough registrations cannot take place. You will be notified well in advance so that you can look at other dates if necessary. If the walk goes ahead and you cannot make it on another day, you will of course receive a full refund! On weekends where both Saturday and Sunday are offered, only one of those two days will take place.

If you are available on multiple dates, please send a message in advance with your availability so that I can contact you regarding an alternative date if your first choice cannot go ahead due to insufficient participants.

Refunds are possible upon cancellation if notified at least 48 hours in advance. In cases of force majeure, such as illness, you will always receive a refund. Naturally, this will always be done in consultation! Another option is to keep your ticket for a walk on another date.
