CLASSES & EVENTS
Sharing knowledge & wisdom gained through experience in the form of teaching is a sacred act & a defining characteristic of our species. When ideas are not shared, they grow stagnant; but when shared freely, noesis abounds and culture flourishes; all of life is nurtured and healing is complete.
The following is a list of classes, both future and past, where the people of Wilderlandia converge; skills are traded, friends are found and the support we all need in this time of transformation is abundant. Please take time to nourish yourself in these ways, coming together with and gathering the wisdom, skills and traditions of our ancestors.
Also, if you'd like to host any of these amazing classes, please contact me for more information.

Introduction to Magical Mead Making
offered via The Firefly Gathering
Sunday September 12, 2021
Barnardsville, NC 28709
Delve into the ancient art of mixing honey--the nectar of the flowers of plants gathered by the bees--with local fruit, flowers, roots & herbs to create divine expressions of beverage bliss. This hands-on event will guide participants through the process of harvesting medicines and preparing them for the mead, discussing basic qualities of flowers, fruits, herbs, roots, etc. & how to handle & use them. Then we'll blend these things together with water & honey, feeding the wild yeasts, to create the beginnings of a most delightful beverage! This is an introductory class, so we will briefly discus ratios of sweetener, the qualities of various sugars, & have an overview of wild & cultured fermentation. We'll end with a brief discussion on racking, bottling & storing your brews while sampling a few lovely examples of fermentation and alchemical magic! Bring some extra money to purchase some products from my cellar!

Grains, Legumes & Tuber Roots
TBA
Grains & Legumes: the cornerstone of human expansion; add tubers, and you have the dietary staples that have allowed our species to rise to the apex in which we find ourselves today. Yet, they are relatively new additions to our diets (in an evolutionary sense) and many people find at least some of them difficult to digest, as their presence in our diets has grown faster than our gut's ability to evolve and digest them. In this class we will explore many of the more common grains & legumes and various ways that we can soak, sprout and ferment them to increase absorption, digestion and yumminess. We will also explore some tubers of the world and how various cultures prepare these nutritious plant roots to make them delicious. My amazing 130 year old sour
dough starter will be available for purchase.

Mead Making 202
TBA
Fall deeper down the rabbit hole of alchemical magic with this follow up to Mead Making 101. Folks who are already familiar with basic mead making will delight in learning new tricks of the trade & age old wisdom (beginners are welcome, but please recognize that the cadence of this class is not 101). We will boldly step beyond the introductory level of brewing and enter into the deeper realms of fermentation wizardry. We will begin with an in depth discussion of yeast, exploring many varieties of commercial yeast & their unique nuances and applications; we'll also learn about wild & open fermenting, starter “bugs” and how to create your own personal yeast strain, or family lineage. Then we'll discuss sugars and their relationship to alcohol, as well as how to use various sugars to get different effects. Next, we'll talk about acid blends & what they can do for your mead creations, including how you can create your own! We will finish with a discussion of “hard to brew” ingredients and ways around them. All the while, we will be sampling some fermented creations from my meadery and concocting a Bochet, a caramelized honey mead...the ambrosia of the gods!
