Did you know that many plants that grow in the city can help to boost your mood and support mental health? In this workshop Lynn Shore will take you on a mindful guided session around Dijkspark and gives an introduction into useful plant-friends and their health benefits. You will learn to define the greens using your senses, as well as tips and techniques from the foraging pro. Come and connect with your inner Biophile!

What you will do
You will begin this workshop by walking in the surroundings of Mediamatic Biotoop, and discovering different wild herbs that can be used to boost your mood, calm you, energize you and overall help to reach a balanced state of mind. After foraging a few of these plants, you will have a guided tea session with Lynn, during which you can taste them in a brew and observe the effect which they have on your mind. You will leave with a deeper knowledge of edible herbs in your environment and hopefully a sense of balance and calm.
This workshop will take place outside in all weathers, as it is important to get fresh air in sun and rain. Please come prepared for it!
