Marine Herbalism is more than simply learning about seaweeds—at its core, it's about building relationships. Seaweeds' chemistry, nutrition, and medicinal qualities are inseparable from the dynamic coastal environments in which they live. In turn, working with these living foods invites us to build a deeper relationship with our own bodies and their unique needs.
In this three-part immersion, we'll build a strong foundation for working with seaweeds as foods, medicines, and valuable additions to the herbal repertoire. Moving from foundational concepts to exploring the unique qualities of individual seaweeds, and finally bringing them into the herbal kitchen through creative and practical applications, each class builds upon the last to create a cohesive learning journey.
Together we will explore:
the remarkable biology and ecology of seaweeds
their nutrients, minerals, and medicinal phytochemicals
iodine, polysaccharides, and whole-form practice
individual Atlantic and Pacific species
culinary traditions and modern herbal applications
practical methods for incorporating seaweeds into daily life
teas, broths, medicinal preparations, and herbal formulations
The series includes:
🌿 Introduction to Marine Herbalism (Oct 25)
Build a framework for understanding seaweeds as unique and dynamic foods and medicines through an exploration of their diversity, ecology, key nutrients, phytochemicals, therapeutic applications, and practical guidelines for home and clinical use.
🌊 Seaweed Meet & Greet (Nov 1)
Become familiar with common Atlantic and Pacific seaweeds, their unique flavors, nutrient profiles, and therapeutic uses.
🍵 Seaweeds in the Herbal Kitchen (Nov 8)
Bring everything together through an exploration of creative and practical food and herbal preparations using seaweeds. Learn how to integrate seaweeds into your daily life through broths, teas, and tonics. The class culminates in the collaborative formulation of a land-and-sea herbal blend that will be mailed to participants following the series.
✨
Together, these classes will deepen your understanding of seaweeds as living foods and medicines while helping you cultivate a more meaningful relationship with the coastal ecosystems from which they come. Whether you're an herbalist, clinician, wild food enthusiast, or simply curious about bringing seaweeds into your daily life, this immersion will provide both a strong scientific foundation and practical inspiration for incorporating them into your herbal and culinary repertoire.
🎥 Class recordings will be available to all registrants. Presentation slides will be available for viewing throughout the series, and a printed copy will be mailed to participants following the completion of the series.
