Join us on Sunday April 28, from 2 to 5 pm, rain or shine! Together we will take a stroll in our magical backyard (aka the Foundry Preserve) to ID and wild harvest a few beautiful spring medicinals such as chickweed, cleavers, dandelion, wild mustard and nettles. Come spring time these precious plants are tender, full of flavor and loaded with medicine, vitamins and minerals, that our bodies crave coming out of the winter season into spring and summer. We will forage and wild harvest our herbal treasures and take them back to Ascend where together we will whip up the most delicious, flavorful and highly medicinal spring pesto! It can be used to dress your salads, pastas or any cooked dishes, paired with lots of compliments from friends and family.You will go home with a jar of green goodness, lots of herbal knowledge, a few awesome new friends, and a great pesto recipe to share.
The workshop is led by Katya Varlamova, our in-house clinical herbalist, Ascend maker and founder of Warmicita Herbals.
Cost: $45 including all materials
Katya is a clinical herbalist with more than 12 years of experience. She is a naturopath, plant wellness educator, and founder of the organic herbal wellness line Warmicita Herbals (www.warmicitaherbals.com, IG @warmicitaherbals).
Katya sees clients for a host of acute and chronic health concerns. She uses herbal medicine from a variety of traditions as well as highest quality natural supplements to help bring her clients' health to its optimum level. Katya works closely with her clients to identify the true cause of health challenges. She uses muscle testing and dynamic kinesiology as added techniques to shed light on the true origins of health patterns. Her work takes a very holistic approach, and sometimes the path to true wellness calls for shifts in non-physical realms, such as emotional, psychological, energetic or spiritual aspects of being. Katya then uses flower essences, gem elixirs, guided meditation, inner child work, ritual and breath work, to encourage and nurture the process of inner transformation. Diet, lifestyle, digestion, sleep, energy levels and connection with nature are always considered.
Katya welcomes in-person clients in NYC and in the Hudson Valley (at Ascend in Cold Spring NY.) Zoom sessions are also available. She offers single sessions, as well as 1 and 3-month health partnership programs.
Katya hosts plant walks, women’s circles, and teaches plant medicine classes and retreats in NYC, the Hudson Valley, Europe and the Amazon.
