Join Jenny Carden as she takes you on a journey through moorland and time to discover the history of plantlore on Dartmoor.

Jenny will ask why plant medicine became 'folklore' in the general consciousness and how this still affects our medicine choices today. Through the use of firsthand accounts, she invites us into the worlds of ‘Whit-Witches’, cunning-folk, wart charmers, pellars, and conjurors, while unearthing the curious mystery of why so many 19th-century West Country practitioners began their craft as cobblers and carpenters.

She will also explore how the secrets to our own plant medicine, rather than variations on ancient, imported Greek and Roman texts, could be found in Dartmoor's peat, or revealed directly through the quiet ritual of plant communication meditation.

*Please note: This talk represents a change to our original schedule. Kim Willis will join us in the New Year to weave her tales of River Goddesses and discuss her book, No Fair Maidens.
