Long before the pharmacy, people reached for plants.
Herbal First Aid 101 is an evening with Wild Captives and herbalist Rachael Lange: a hands-on introduction to the plants our ancestors trusted for cuts, burns, bites, bruises, and the small hurts of everyday life. You'll learn to recognize them, prepare them, and actually use them, the way people did for thousands of years before any of it came in a tube.
It's a slower, more connected way of caring for yourself and the people around you. Whether you're starting a home apothecary, spending more time outside, or just curious what's been growing underfoot this whole time, you'll leave with real skills and a salve you made with your own hands.
Your ticket includes:
A guided hands-on workshop led by herbalist and House of Kin co-founder Rachael Lange
The fundamentals of medicinal herbs for cuts, burns, bites, bruises, and inflammation
Safe plant identification and responsible, sustainable harvesting
Live demonstrations of salves, poultices, sprays, and other herbal preparations
Your own herbal salve to make and take home
A blueprint for building your own portable herbal first aid kit
Herbal tea and seasonal drinks all evening
An official Wild Captives merit badge
A few Wild Captives surprises
No experience needed. Bring your curiosity, a notebook if you like, and a willingness to get your hands a little herbal. 🌿
