Join Southwest Michigan's Summer Herbal Immersive Weekend at The Higher Haven with Naturopath Maggie Conklin ND and visiting Alabama Master Herbalist Darryl Patton
Imagine taking herb walks, eating fresh paleo diet meals and taking in the plant knowledge and health secrets of nationally known master herbalists, mycologists and natural health practitioners. Now imagine doing that for an entire weekend, adopting nature’s pace while immersed in the beauty of the natural world. Join Master Herbaslist Darryl Patton (https://thesouthernherbalist.com) during his annual visit to South Haven, Michigan, Saturday July 20th-Sunday July 21st. Enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded practitioners, equally hungry for knowledge in a collective pursuit of radiant health. Space is limited and spots are filling quickly, as this year’s focus will be on living sustainably off the land, right in your own backyard.
Learn how to identify safe, healthy, medicinal plants that grow abundantly in the Midwest as well as how to harvest and prepare herbs. The onsite kitchen in The Higher Haven’s 19th century farmhouse lodge will have us munching on much of what we find. Bring a notebook and pen to take all your learning home and do it all again. We’ll also go on a mushroom hunt lead by popular mycologist Anthony Michael Blowers who, along with Mr. Patton, will deliver a presentation on mushroom’s many health benefits. Maggie Conklin ND will also host a one-hour talk on maintaining a healthy endocrine system, with a focus on adrenal glands and the thyroid, as well as herbs to help maintain healthy bodily function.
