In the west of Ireland, we are fortunate to have an abundance of edible plants, herbs, fruits and wildflowers growing both along the coast and deep in our forests. Through learning the skill of foraging from trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced individuals, we can practice safe identification and use ecologically and environmentally sound harvesting methods while also learning how to appreciate our environment.

YOGA AND WILD FORAGING WITH OLWYN WILLIAMS
Olwyn Williams is a forager and yoga teacher based in east Co. Galway. Central to her work is connection; connection with self, to local landscapes, to the cyclicality of the seasons and to life. Olwyn believes it is empowering to pick and eat wild food and reduce our dependence on global food supply chains. In her experience and the experience of her groups, few things bring more delight than eating wild fruit fresh from the bush! Olwyn offers foraging walks and workshops to introduce people to the many common plants we can use for food and medicine, especially those in our gardens and hedgerows. In addition to learning safe identification and ecologically sound harvesting practices, participants of these workshops get to sample lots of wild foods and learn ways to prepare and preserve them.
