Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - 40th year

Wildcrafting is the harvesting of wild things--plants, mushrooms, stones, animal parts, etc.--for human uses. These materials have both practical benefits (as food, medicine, and more) and many applications in folk magic and Pagan practices. But, as ecologically and spiritually aware practitioners, we can't just walk into the woods and grab stuff; we need to conduct our harvest with respect, intention, and care for the natural world, as well as our own safety. Come learn the basics of ethical wildcrafting and how to use wild materials; share your own wildcrafting experiences; and leave inspired to create with the bounty of nature.
