'We don't need to reconnect to nature, we are nature.' Discover wholeness and health as Brigit Anna McNeil and Dartmoor's Daughter lead you on a journey into the moor and the woods along the river to explore Spring's edible offerings.
You will learn how to identify edible seasonal plants and leaves, seeds, flowers, and roots. And understand how to prepare them for cooking and eating or for potent medicines to nourish, strengthen or cleanse. We will make something simple as a taster together or share a wild tea. This will be determined by what we find on the day.
Brigit Anna McNeil is a professional forager, earth based herbalist, facilitator, nature connection guide and therapist. She takes people on a journey of reconnecting to their own nature and innate wisdom, inviting them into deeper relationship with life through immersion in and with the natural world.

Further Information
Level: 2 out of 5. The pace will be gentle with many stops along the way but you will need to be agile enough to walk over a few rocky sections, and cross a small stream.
What to bring/wear: Warm layers and waterproof jacket with trousers (no matter the weather forecast); waterproof boots (wellies or walking boots) so that we can cross the stream together; packed lunch and drink; and something to sit on.
Where to meet: Newbridge (SX 711 708) car park with toilets by the bridge, 4 miles west of Ashburton on the Ashburton – Dartmeet/Two Bridges Road. The nearest postcode is TQ13 7NT but please don't rely on it to get you to the exact location.
From the A38 take the Ashburton Pear Tree exit and head for Princetown/River Dart Country Park. Go past the Country Park and keep going along the lane.
Cross Holne Bridge and keep going. The next big bridge is New Bridge. And the carpark is just the other side of it on the left.
