Join Lesley Vernon, founder of Appalachian Alchemy, for a year-long exploration of herbalism, creativity, and traditional plant medicine. These immersive, hands-on sessions are designed for adults and held in a peaceful forest setting.
Each walk or workshop is more than a lesson; it’s an experience gathering of seekers, healers, and nature lovers drawn to the sacred dance between plants and people. Walk away not just with knowledge, but with confidence, handcrafted remedies, and a rekindled bond with the Earth.
Whether you’re new to herbalism or deepening your practice, you’ll walk away with handcrafted remedies, hands-on experience, and a renewed bond with the plants around you.
