SUMMARY:Presidents' Day Herb Walk & "Stone Soup" Picnic
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nPLEASE NOTE: This event is full. Please see registration info below. \nJoin me on Presidents’ Day\, Monday\, February 17\, for an Herb Walk and “Stone Soup” Picnic at Euterpe Farms in Ojai. We’ll walk the borders of the farm adjacent to the Ventura River Preserve identifying edible and medicinal plants such as sagebrush\, purple sage\, white sage\, and elderberry. Then we’ll gather around an oak wood fire for wild food processing demos and a “stone soup” picnic based on the folk tale of the same name. The soup will be built around a California bay leaf (in place of the stone) and onsite-foraged dwarf nettles. \nA foraged salad topped with local wild black walnuts might include seasonal greens such as miner’s lettuce\, chickweed\, thistle\, sweet fennel\, and mustard. Time permitting\, we may also prepare acorn pancakes. \nThe walk will begin at 9 a.m. At approximately 11:30 a.m. we’ll begin preparing for the picnic which will conclude around 1:30 or 2:00 p.m. The cost is $35 including all materials other than vegetables and herbs contributed to the stone soup. \n  \nREGISTRATION INFORMATION: \nPlease click the REGISTER HERE button below to join the waiting list. Per my usual policy\, if someone cancels in time for me to fill the space I will issue a refund and add the person(s) at the top of the waiting list.

SUMMARY:February Full Moon Sunset Herb Walk & After-Party
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nPLEASE NOTE: This event is full. I have started a waiting list in case someone needs to cancel. See REGISTRATION INFO section below for more details. \nOn Saturday evening\, February 8\, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.\, I’ll lead a Full Moon Sunset Herb Walk to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous sunset and moonrise.  The full moon will rise at about 5:15 p.m. and the sun will set at about 5:25 p.m.\, giving us a nice window of time to take it all in. Following the walk is an optional “after-party” at Azu Restaurant and Ojai Valley Brewery for delicious food and local herb-infused beers and non-alcoholic beverages. \nWe’ll meet at the Park-and-Ride lot downtown between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. and carpool to the trailhead to minimize the crowded parking situation there. Then we’ll gradually walk about 1 mile to the vista point\, stopping along the way to meet some valuable native plants including: \nCoastal Sagebrush\nToyon\nHorehound\nElderberry and\nPurple Sage \nAfter witnessing the rising of the moon and setting of the sun\, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight\, moonlight\, and flashlight\, returning to the Park-and-Ride lot by 6:30 p.m. \nThen at 6:45 p.m. you’re invited to join me and Rondia across the street from the Park-and-Ride lot at the combined Azu Restaurant & Ojai Valley Brewery where manager Elizabeth Haffner\, brewmaster Jeremy Haffner and the chef have planned a special prix fixe Beer Paired Tasting Menu (see below) featuring a flight of 4 beers paired with a seasonal menu. Those who complete payment for the walk will receive instructions for reserving the custom dinner. If they choose not to reserve\, they can still order beverages\, appetizers or entrees à la carte from the regular menu. \nJeremy’s brews change with the seasons and reflect the plants of Ojai. Three staples you’re likely to find on his list any time of year are Sugar Bush IPA\, brewed with wild local Ojai “Sugar Bush” Sumac; White Pixie Ale\, brewed with Pixie tangerine zests and orchard blossoms; and an amazing Chaparral Ale flavored and bittered with White and Black Sage and local Sagebrush instead of the usual Hops. Jeremy describes it as “built to mimic the scent on Shelf Road.” That’s where we’ll be walking! Non-alcoholic offerings also change with the seasons and may include an Elderflower-Blackberry Spritzer. \n \nREGISTRATION INFO:\nThis event is full. I have started a waiting list in case someone needs to cancel. The cost for the walk portion of the event is $25 for adults\, $20 for seniors 62-up\, or $15 for students 13-17.

SUMMARY:Winter Medicinal Plant Workshop with Professor James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This workshop is almost full. Please use the REGISTER button above to register. A PayPal payment link will be emailed to you if there is still a space available at that time.\n\n  \nPlease join me and special guest Professor James Adams of USC School of Pharmacy for a Winter Medicinal Plant Workshop on Saturday\, January 11\, 2020\, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dr. Adams has been a frequent and popular contributor to my events for the past seven years. This workshop is based on his ground-breaking pharmacological studies on local native plants. He will bring Enrique Villaseñor and Helen Sweany to assist with aspects of wild food preparation.\n\n\n \n\n\nWeather permitting\, the plant identification session will take place on the pathways at the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy’s Cluff Vista Park and the Ojai Valley Museum’s Chumash Garden\, two native plant gardens in downtown Ojai\, where Dr. Adams and I will identify and discuss the medicinal uses of a variety of native plants. The afternoon hands-on preparation session will be held at a community kitchen nearby. After the workshop\, participants will receive a complete list of all plants that are identified and/or utilized as well as recipes and other info. In the event of heavy rain\, a slideshow presentation will substitute for the morning walk.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe morning outing from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will be a slow-paced walk around the two gardens. They are both wheelchair-accessible. The morning session will involve stopping for discussion for periods of time. A few benches are scattered about. A lightweight campstool could be useful as well for those uncomfortable standing for periods of time.\n\n\n \n\n\nAfter a one-hour lunch break\, the afternoon kitchen session from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. will focus on preparing seasonal edible and medicinal products for winter health from wild foraged plant material. Products to be prepared onsite include\, among others:\n\n\n\nYerba Santa steam inhalation\nToyon (“California Holly”) berries\nEverlasting Flower tea\nAcorns with Helen Sweany\nNopales with Enrique Villaseñor\n\n\n\nWe’ll sample Jim’s homebaked Lemon Toyon Berry Muffins and see me demonstrate a traditional method of processing acorns and describe how I harvest and dry Toyon berries. At 4:00 p.m. Dr. Adams will sign copies of his books.\n\n\n \n\n\nABOUT JAMES ADAMS\, PH.D: \nDr. Adams brings to Ojai a wealth of scientific knowledge and field experience as well as a singular perspective on herbal medicine. As he tells it\, “My family came to Virginia in 1635 and has always survived by using American Indian healing. On the frontier\, there were no doctors. American Indian healing was better than European medicine anyway. I continue this tradition.”\n\n\n \n\n\nDr. Adams is the co-author — with the late Chumash healer Cecilia Garcia — of the groundbreaking book\, Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West: Cultural and Scientific Basis for Their Use. The book can be purchased beforehand at that link and will also be available for purchase and signing at the event.\n\n\n \n\n\nAs an Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the prestigious University of Southern California\, Dr. Adams has been teaching pharmacy students\, medical students\, doctors and other healthcare professionals for over 25 years while researching the natural pharmaceutical compounds in native plants. He has over 200 publications.\n\n\n \n\n\nRunning parallel with his academic career\, Dr. Adams has worked with the Chumash people since 1998 and studied Chumash healing with Cecilia Garcia for almost 15 years. In addition to their book\, they wrote 30 journal articles together. Jim is now the carrier of the healing knowledge passed to him by his teacher. \n\n\n \n\n\n“Humans have used plant medicines ever since humans came into existence\, about 200\,000 years ago\,” Dr. Adams explains in Healing with Medicinal Plants. “That means that our ancestors experienced an intense natural selection. Those who responded to plant medicines survived and passed their genes on. We are the products of this natural selection. Our bodies are designed to respond to plant medicines.”\n\n\nHere is an excellent 2017 article about Dr. Adams from USCStorySpace.com: “A Scientist’s Calling to Practice Chumash Healing.”\n\n \n\n\nPlease note: This workshop will go on RAIN OR SHINE with the exception of a heavy downpour in the morning and/or a 100% chance of heavy rain that day. As stated above\, if heavy rain prevents the morning walk\, a slideshow will present the plants. No dogs or smoking\, please.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe cost for the Winter Medicinal Plant Workshop is $85\, including all materials for preparing plant medicines. A limited number of scholarships for pharmacy\, medical\, and herbal medicine students are available. After the workshop\, participants will receive a detailed follow-up email including plant lists and recipes.\n\n\n  \nTo register for this event\, please use the REGISTER button below or at the top of this page. You will be notified if a space is available for you.\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Full Moon Sunset Herb Walk
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nOn Sunday evening\, October 13\, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.\, I’ll lead another Herb Walk up to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous sunset and moonrise. The sun will set at 6:27 p.m. and the full moon will rise at 6:47 p.m.\, giving us a nice window of time to take it all in. Following the walk is an optional “after-party” at Azu Restaurant and Ojai Valley Brewery for delicious food and native plant infused beers and non-alcoholic beverages \nThe Ventura County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution on September 24\, 2019\, proclaiming the Second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Ventura County\, joining over 130 other cities\, counties and states who have taken that action. In honor of this walk occurring on the eve of Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Monday\, October 14)\, I have invited a special guest\, Chumash elder Patrick Tumamait\, to join us and begin the walk with the Ojai Chumash Welcoming Song passed on to him by his father Vincent Tumamait. I always start my walks and hikes in Chumash territory with that song which I learned from his sister Julie Tumamait-Stenslie so it will be an honor to have Pat lead the song for us. Also\, I will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the walk to the Barbareño/Ventureño Band of Mission Indians. \nWe’ll meet at the Park-and-Ride lot downtown between 4:30 and 4:45 p.m. and carpool to the trailhead to minimize the crowded parking situation there. Then we’ll gradually walk about 1 mile to the vista point\, stopping along the way to meet some valuable native plants including: \nCoastal Sagebrush\nElderberry\nHollyleaf Cherry\nPurple Sage and\nToyon \nAfter witnessing the setting of the sun and rising of the moon\, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight\, moonlight\, and flashlight\, returning to the Park-and-Ride by 8:00 p.m. On our August walk we saw a tarantula\, a bat\, an owl\, and heard the distinctive songs of at least two species of crickets on our moonlit return to the trailhead. \nAt 8 p.m. you’re invited to join me and Rondia across the street from the Park-and-Ride lot for beverages\, appetizers or dinner at the combined Azu Restaurant & Ojai Valley Brewery where brewmaster Jeremy Haffner has created some truly delicious lager-style craft beers and ales using some of the same local plants found earlier on the trail. His brews change with the seasons and reflect the plants of Ojai. Three staples you’re likely to find on his list any time of year are Sugar Bush IPA\, brewed with wild local Ojai “Sugar Bush” Sumac; White Pixie Ale\, brewed with Pixie tangerine zests and orchard blossoms; and an amazing Chaparral Ale flavored with White and Black Sage and local Sagebrush instead of the usual Hops. Jeremy describes it as “built to mimic the scent on Shelf Road.” That’s where we’ll be walking! Non-alcoholic offerings also change with the seasons and may include an Elderflower-Blackberry Spritzer. \nThe cost is $25 for adults\, $20 for seniors 62-and older\, and $15 for students 13-17. Kids 5-12 can come along free\, one per adult\, by prior arrangement. There is no pre-payment required for this walk\, just your promise to let me know if your plans change. If it fills up\, priority will be given to those who registered in advance. \nPlease use the REGISTER button at top or bottom of this page to sign up. Registrants will receive a confirmation email with all necessary info a few days prior and a follow-up email afterwards with a list of all plants and wildlife seen. No dogs or smoking\, please. \nREGISTER
