The cattail plant can be an incredible resource for food as well as many other uses. It is widely available and easy to harvest. In this class we will explore weaving with cattail leaves to make a mat or basket. We will visit cattails growing at the pond and discuss the harvesting process. We will then practice weaving with leaves previously harvested and prepared. This class is for those who wish to explore the basics of cattail weaving. All ages welcome!

In this class, the group will prepare and cook a soup with the 3 Sisters (squash, beans and corn), discussing techniques for successfully cooking over an open campfire. The history, stories and legends surrounding this trio of plants will be shared, including the reasons behind this companion planting. A special element of gratitude aligning with the symbolism of the 3 Sisters will be woven into class, sharing a moment of gratitude practice together. All participants will share a meal together, tasting this delicious soup! Wild Tea will also be brewed over the fire and share. Please be sure to bring a mug, bowl and spoon! Families and all ages welcome. This class takes place outdoors with outhouse bathroom available.
