It’s time for the Annual Michigan Herbal Conference!
Join us for a weekend of herbal discovery at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute in Hastings, Michigan, which includes foraging wild edible and medicinal herbs, many health specific lectures, medicinal mushrooms, Bushcraft (a more positive term for “survivalism”), flint knapping, fire making, homesteading, and how to safely prepare herbs for eating, drinking, and medicine making.
Come and learn from a great variety of speakers such as Maggie Baker Conklin, Darryl Patton, Matt St. John, George Hedgepeth, and other great herbal educators, including naturopaths, master herbalists, MD’s, mycologists, homesteaders, RN’s, bushcrafters, and other experts.
