Join herbalist and wild crafter Linda Conroy of Moonwise Herbs for this amazing journey on a primitive island located off of the tip of Door County peninsula in Lake Michigan. Cars and even bikes are not allowed on the 912-acre island, making for an experience unlike any other. There are 10 miles of hiking trails, including a one-mile interpretive trail and 5,000 feet of beach.
This herbal intensive will offer an opportunity to connect deeply with the plants on this remote island. Participants will hike the island, commune with green allies and enjoy camping right along the lake.

5th Annual Holistic Health and Herbal Education Festival in Cannon Falls
September 26th
We look forward to seeing you on September 26th for a special day of herbal and holistic health education. We'll gather at a plant–filled farm in the beautiful Cannon Valley, just 40 minutes south of the Metro area. This year we plan to bring you teachers from outside the Twin Cities area and celebrate our herbal friends from Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. Twelve classes will be offered by a variety of accomplished practitioners from diverse traditions including Western Herbalism, Naturopathy, TCM and more. There will be something for everyone from beginning to advanced students, including opportunities for hands–on medicine making and plant ID. Relax on the farm between classes and experienced medicine makers are welcome to wildcraft independently.
Stay tuned for class descriptions, teacher bios, schedules and registration materials or contact Lise (lise@herbalistlisewolff.com) to be placed on her class email list to get updated information.
