Seaweed Adventure

$250.00

Class meets: Sat. May 21, 2022 at 9am to Sun. May 22 at 2pm in Petrolia, CA

Journey to the spectacular, species-rich tide pools of the Lost Coast of Northern California!

You’ll bring the intertidal “seaweed blur” into focus by learning to identify and ethically harvest the bountiful sea vegetables that grow along their rocky shores: Nori, Kombu, Wakame, Sea lettuce, Bladderwrack, Sea cabbage, and many more. We’ll camp along the gorgeous Mattole River and create a dinner feast (including dessert!) with our foraged sea vegetables. Campground class time includes lessons on how to use common seaweeds for food, medicine, first aid, self care, and fun!

If class is full, you may email allison@dandelionherb.com to be put on the waiting list.

Description

In this class you will learn:

  • Tips for ethical and legal foraging/harvesting
  • Where to find different edible seaweed species
  • How to easily identify at least a dozen favorite sea vegetables
  • Why some kelp beds are disappearing and why this matters
  • Techniques for preserving your harvest
  • Inspiring cooking methods for including seaweeds you harvest in your daily fare. We’ll enjoy lots of hands-on cooking demos and learn many recipes with something for even the pickiest eaters in your family including package-free “Nori chips,” Wakame fettuccine, Sea Oak pickles, and savory seaweed Gomassio.
  • Medicinal seaweed preparations for sustaining health, improving common imbalances, and first aid situations
  • How to create your own at-home (or at-campground!) seaweed spa treatments!

Class fee includes camping Saturday night, Saturday dinner, Sunday breakfast, product samples, and a full color “Sea Vegetables of the Pacific Coast” identification card (laminated and ready for a dip in the ocean!).

And did we mention how beautiful the river is where we will camp and swim, and how spectacular the coast is where we will visit the tide pools?!? It is Allison’s favorite place.

This class is one weekend of the comprehensive Ten Month Herbal Studies program.

In this podcast Kara Muzia, an ocean enthusiast and marine biologist interviews Allison Poklemba. They dive into the wonderful world of seaweeds! Allison shares how plants have fascinated her from a young age, why her move across the country for university was the financially responsible choice, and how she incorporated both botany and herbalism into her career. Allison puts a few different species of kelp on highlight including bull kelp and wakame. She shares how kelp can actually devour cancer tumors, how a walk on the beach can also be a walk in a medicine cabinet, and some fun ways to cook with sea vegetables.

80 women. If each generation is about 25 years ap 80 women.

If each generation is about 25 years apart, there are only 80 moms between you and your ancestor who walked this earth, tending children, in the year zero. 

That’s not very many, right?! I imagine my lineage of moms and am so curious about them.

This photo is of my beloved Grandma Sandra (right) her sister (Joan) and their mom, my Great Grandma Fanny.

Sandra was a “Dispenser” in England in the late 30’s/early 40’s, which was really like being a licensed Herbalist!

I love them and am so grateful for all my 80 women have been through to get me and mine here! Reflecting on this as my eldest celebrates is 10th trip around the sun today. 🎂☀️🎉

🌟 Do you know the name of your grandmother’s grandmother?
