gwyr foraging clwb
I am so excited to share gwyr foraging clwb; a collaboration between wyld clwb and We Are Woven.
We Are Woven is a botanical art studio based at the Gower Heritage Centre; exploring connection through creative practice, our true nature and living in relationship with wild spaces.
These foraging clwbs offer us chance to document the subtle shift of the seasons and will delve into the potent medicines growing all around us throughout the year. They are open to all levels of understanding. We seek to build community and share knowledge through these events.
Foraging is something that I have really connected with since moving to Gower 15 months ago. The changing seasons and constantly entering plants give me a way to connect with the landscape. It means that I get to play one of my favourite personas: the eternal student, forever learning and seeking knowledge.
What I love most about foraging is that is one of the simplest acts of everyday activism. In a capitalist society that wants us to consume highly processed and packaged food at high prices, what greater act of rebellion is there than foraging for your own free and natural food.
Foraging can seem like a dark art that evokes fear. But once you build your confidence and with a community of like-minded humans you will gain strength and resilience.
Each trail will include:
2 hour guided foraging trail
Tips on how to identify plants
Ideas on how to prepare edibles
Practices in mindfulness
Light seasonal lunch inspired by our foraged ingredients
Locally foraged herbal tea
In order to get the most out of the experience we recommend that you attend for three sessions. This will help you reaffirm and build on what you have learnt as the landscape gently transforms through the seasons. Once you have add three sessions to your cart use the discount code WOVENWYLD for 20% off your bundle.
Depending on the weather and the seasonal clock, we will be investigating different Gower terrains and locations to forage for our fresh finds.
I really hope that you can come along to one of our foraging clwbs to see all that nature has to offer. (And I promise you that it’s more than the supermarket shelves right now!).
much love,
