Opening up your vision to the medicinal plants growing everywhere is a key to seeing beyond what is often called the “green wall” of nature. Knowing what you are seeing is a very exciting revelation.
Saturday, March 25th
from 2pm - 3:30pm
starting at White Crane Springs Community Garden (then moving to Golden Gate Park)
Get Your Spot!
The deep and powerful wisdom of the herbal realm has mostly been forgotten in our modern culture. Plants, flowers, trees and herbs are incredible allies for our health.
In this very experiential and fun class, you will learn all about the wonderful wild herbal plants growing near you - even in our urban environments! This will be highly experiential and an on-foot class starting in the Inner Sunset and moving into Golden Gate Park.
We will go over the ethics and important considerations for wild foraging herbs and plants, and then you will get to walk and see some powerfully medicinal herbs and plants growing in plain sight. Note : This class will be outdoors so please make sure to dress accordingly with warm and cool layers as we know the weather can shift easily in the Bay Area. And wear good shoes!
This class is open to those who are curious, and want to deepen in their awareness of working with what I call our “green allies.”
IMPORTANT NOTE : Once you register you will receive the location where we will meet (in the Inner Sunset - NOT at The Center!), and please make sure not to be late as we will start in one location, and shortly after will begin our walk!
These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins via The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health) and in future classes we’ll talk about even more wellness remedies with herbs.
NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or - working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.

Crystal’s intention is to awaken our consciousness toward the radical practice of attuning your life and the flows of your creativity to the seasons of the year, the cycles of the moon and the wisdom found in the everyday. She is a lover of the plant realm, being outdoors and engaging in sacred rituals.
