About the course

Our four-day retreat in the wild flower meadows and forests of Homer, Alaska will explore the healing power of the plant kingdom. The retreat is led by Nancy Lee-Evans, Anam Cara Program Director. Relationship to the natural world is an integral part of the Anam Cara Program teachings about the interconnectedness of all things. It transforms alienation from the natural world to belonging while building a knowledge in the exceptional nutritional and therapeutic value of wild edibles and medicines at your doorstep.

Together we will identify local edible and medicinal plants, learn their herbal properties, and create tinctures, oils, and salves for an herbal first-aid kit. We will incorporate wild edibles in our food throughout the retreat. Then we will move on to the more subtle vibrational work of working and communicating with the plants' spirits themselves in healing and sacred ceremony. Plant communication is a learnable skill that brings the entire landscape alive and will change your relationship with nature forever.

Our retreat headquarters is a comfortable home with ample tent and camper parking space for those coming from out of town. A lovely yurt is also available for five to share on a first come, first serve basis. If you prefer, we can refer you to fine nearby Bed and Breakfasts that can be quite affordable when sharing. Your dinner and a basic breakfast are included. You are asked to provide for your lunch, any foods particular to your personal needs and a few additional supplies as you may choose.
A supply list and directions will be provided upon registration.
