A day working with seashore succulents and seasonal seaweeds, shamanic journeying, and ceremony, with an open fire for cooking.

As we approach Lammas, come and forage for seaweed treasures! Learn about seaweed’s culinary and medicinal uses with local forager Jane Hedgewitch. Jane is well-known locally for her foraged artisanal products, which are stocked in local health food shops and with independent suppliers around Sussex.

In the morning we will start with a grounding meditation in Ali’s beautiful and sustainable Eco Lodge. Then we will also forage for seaweed at Rottingdean. There may be opportunities to find samphire, sea purslane, and sea beet at Piddinghoe, along the River Ouse.

A simple miso soup will be provided on the beach, with foraged seaweed for lunch (depending on tide times). There will also be herbal tea, vegan drop scones with foraged-based jams, etc.

Based on the edge of the South Downs National Park. In the afternoon, we will have a beach-based shamanic journey, co-creating a simple giveaway ceremony to the ocean and connecting with the stunning natural environment.

There will be ample opportunity to learn how to harvest and use seaweed, with Jane’s expert guidance during the course of the day.

Please bring a pair of scissors with you to harvest and a bag to take things away.

Once booked, you will be sent directions. If you Google Ali Rabjohns, the location should come up.
