'Diggin Deep: A Plant Medicine Workshop Series at RTR (06-07-2015)
'Diggin Deep is a Plant Medicine Workshop Summer Series located (most of the time) in the backyard oasis of The Random Tea Room and Curiosity Shop located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.
The first course of the series is: Spring Tonics, Wild Foods, and Adaptogens, led by Alyssa Schimmel.
Healing medicine is all around us! Learn how to identify common wild edible and medicinal plants as we walk through Liberty Lands and the surrounding neighborhood outside the Random Tea Room. We'll be discussing common edible plants like dandelion, burdock, cleavers, chickweed, and nettles, share recipes and samples, and discuss herbal preparations to support wellness throughout the spring and summer seasons - including support for common seasonal ills like allergies, sluggish digestion, stress, and exhaustion.
