Sensory Herbalism in the Brecon Beacons - Summer

Pridie Tiernan - The Wild of the Words

Getting to know seasonal wildflowers more intimately using our senses and intuition, practical interaction and creative writing.

Cwmffrwd Farm

These seasonal workshops focus on getting to know some of our seasonal plants more intimately using our senses, intuition, and practical interaction. We're also lucky enough to be joined by the wonderful Emily Valentine Powell, an experienced veterinary surgeon, acupuncturist and moxibustion therapist! During our summer workshop, we'll meet a range of plants from meadowsweet, St John's Wort and oak, to daisy, heather and yarrow. Visiting each of these plants, we'll be discussing our intuitive observations when we meditate, observe and sketch beside them, exploring the sensations they provoke when handled, smelt and tasted and connecting all these characteristics to their medicinal actions and practical use in daily life. We'll also look at how their folklore and stories might be linked to the way generations before us have interacted with these plants. From cough curing syrups to anti-inflammatory teas, fever fighting flowers, energy protecting auras and affirmative incense...you'll definitely be leaving with a deeper connection to these three! ​Children aged 8 + are welcome.​Private bookings can also be made for up to six people (cost £60p/h).
