In traditional cultures around the world, every group of people had a healer with knowledge of herbal medicines. And that healer always had a medicine bag of some sort. The style of bag and its contents varied widely, but the general concept is always the same- to have basic first aid necessities on hand and ready for use.
In this camp, you will be creating your own medicine bag. You will learn to work with a variety of foraged herbs to make medicinal salves, tinctures, washes, teas, and compresses. These remedies can be used to treat a variety of common minor medical problems such as scrapes and cuts, burns, poison ivy, stings and mosquito bites, stomach and intestinal issues, headahces, muscle and joint aches, and minor colds. You will also make a simple, but functional, bag to hold all of your new herbs and potions.
7/17-7/19 in the Irish Hills of Michigan. 900 Twin lake, Tipton, MI.
Cost includes dinner friday, 3 meals saturday, breakfast sunday, lakeside camping on a private lake (your own tent, hammock, or camper), and all materials needed to make your medicine bag and its contents.
Ages 13 and up. Please contact us if you have limited mobility or are in poor health so that we can make sure we can accomodate your needs.
