Do you sometimes suffer from empty-headedness, unwilling forgetfulness, melancholy, or wrath? If so we have something marvellously medieval for you!

The next Urban Herbology Hildegard von Bingen’s Herbs of Joy workshops will be:
Sunday 3rd December 3pm – 5.30pm (full)
Saturday 2nd March 3pm – 5.30pm
Venue: Mediamatic in central Amsterdam.
Tamara Last, one of my wonderful apprentices will be leading these workshops.

Medieval abbess Hildegard von Bingen was way ahead of her time. She was an esteemed advocate for scientific research, specifically the use of herbal medicines to treat ailments, thought that raw onions were dangerous and understood how to live in harmony with nature. What’s not to love?

During the workshops, the Urban Herbology Team will share 12th-century recipes to bring a little more joy into the world.

During the workshops, you will recreate the recipes of Hildegard using local plants and kitchen herbs to improve mental health. You will take home both knowledge on how to softly treat your body using natural remedies and a deep herbal concoction made out of foraged herbs. Curious about what these ancient recipes can offer our modern minds?

Sunday December 3rd 15:00-17:30,
Saturday 2nd March 3pm – 5.30pm at Mediamatic.
