Medicine Walk & Making to Inspire The Herbalist In Each of Us
In another time, we would have all been herbalists; we would have all walked with the knowledge of how to wander the meadows & woods to find those plants we could gather to nourish our minds, bodies, & spirits. Come and remember our foremothers ways with the herbal medicines. Kjelti will guide you into your own confidence of connecting to, and working with, medicinal plants of the prairies & boreal forest and remind you of the innate plant wisdom of you already carry. This is an holistic introduction to vital herbalism including herbal energetics, affinities, actions, and honourable harvest. We will spend the morning wandering the trails meeting our relatives with roots, and in the afternoon we will cover some of the basic medicine making techniques for preserving and enhancing your harvest. You will walk away from this workshop empowered and inspired for your plant path journey.

 "I believe in the innate healing wisdom of the body & spirit; I know it to be true that when we come into right relationship with medicinal plants, they become strong allies for our vibrant health and wholeness. As a passionate & curious folk herbalist I've spent the last ten years learning from the medicinal plants of the prairies & borea. I love helping others develop their own connection to local, medicinal plants. I am heartfilled to share my passion for plants with you. 
- Kjelti Katherine


Kjelti Anderson moves with a profound sense of belonging to this world  – with intrinsic affinity to the serene song of the meadowlark or the harrowed howl of the wolf, she too seeks to resound. Her voice echoes in the living litany ringing through the forest as an ode to the unfolding of all creation within us. She cultivates a passionate relationship with Mother Earth as a herbalist, permaculture homesteader, artist, & mama. She creatively resists the resignation that humanity's fate is ultimately one of dominance & depletion by tending to the new earth becoming through the critical inner & outward action needed at this time in human history.

She is the founder & lead creative of Held By Her. She offers handcrafted herbal products and 1-to-1 healing sessions. Learn more about her work at www.heldbyher.com, IG @held.by.her
