In this very experiential and fun class, you will learn all about the wonderful evergreen trees (pine, redwood + more) growing near you and how to make some good herbal medicine through ethical wildcrafting and foraging.
This will be highly experiential and an on-foot team building experience in Golden Gate Park of San Francisco. We will meet at the entrance on 5th Ave and Lincoln.
We will go over the ethics and important considerations for wild foraging from evergreen trees, as well as wild herbs and plants. And then you will get to walk and connect with some powerfully medicinal trees, herbs and plants growing in plain sight. You will learn how to ethically wildcraft resin from a tree to make skin and wound healing salves, and also how to harvest new fir tips to make a highly medicinal tea if you choose.
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. 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.
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 be prepared in case it rains! Please also wear good hiking-type 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 exact location where we will meet.
Meeting Location : Golden Gate Park of San Francisco (5th Ave + Lincoln)

Yes, we work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.
Definitely! Look for the badge "This host can travel to your location" on the experience you want to book. Make sure to select "My office" as your preferred location.
Some office buildings require a certificate of insurance. We will ask you to check on these requirements after you book. Our hosts can usually add your building as "additional insured" on their certificate for free but this may take a few days. In addition, there may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage. Don't worry: we'll guide you through the process. If you need a last-minute certificate of insurance, we will help you buy one (the average cost of one-off event insurance is around $150).
It'll be our pleasure! We can easily find reliable hosts anywhere in the U.S. because the community of small business owners and artisans is interconnected. We can usually make any experience bookable on Spaciously within a few days.
