Cross time and culture, through the ages plants have long been our allies in healing and sustenance.

Our coexistence is a richly complex dance of mutual support and inspiration; one Philip Shepherd reflects on as, 'consider breathing... you are breathing in the exhalations of forests.. the oxygen that passes into your lungs is born of the touch of sunlight on leaves.'

As the daffodils barge their trumpeted golden way through Winter’s density, Spring is the time to re-ignite our connection to this natural world and the plants which populate it. A collective time to stretch out our limbs and reach for inspiration and new things to roll on in to the rest of the year with.

So for CP: Spring we offer you a curious & earthy afternoon exploring our symbiotic relationship with native plants; how they might support immunity and conscious transition to the season of new beginnings. And ways we can build skills, knowledge, everyday rituals with them in teas and tinctures.

This is a walk, workshop and pizza party in one. Expect muddy knees, mouthfuls of spongey-oven-fired dough, and an afternoon of beautiful company in the cobbled Bridge Farm, nestled right in the urban edges of the city. Learn how - through myth, play, fact and discussion - we might re-remember plants unique personalities, building a deeper awareness around their places within our wider ecosystem.
