About this Course

Participate in Indigenous Peoples’ Month at Cold Creek Conservation Area in this unique hike and workshop: Indigenous Wild Medicines Walk & Oil Infusion Workshop. Participate in a guided hike with Tanya Gluvakov to learn honourable and sustainable wild harvesting practices, including how to identify medicinal plants, connect with the land, and create a reciprocal relationship with these medicines. After harvesting, participants are invited to make oil infusions from pre-harvested, dried local medicines identified on the hike to take home and share; and, participate in mindfulness exercises to better connect with the land.
