The season of rest and inner growth is finally here

Wild Roots Foraging is joining forces with Luna Natura for a wonderful day of wild reconnection, restoration, and deep nourishment!

WHERE:

Charltons,

Saltburn-by-the Sea.

WHEN:

Saturday 20th December 2025

9am-5pm

Another year has passed us by and here we are, again. We are about to head into deep midwinter. Into the darkness. The cold, rich, fertile earth, ready to find nourishment and inner growth.

And as it falls upon us, the shortest day and the longest night, just like all of nature, we are given this beautiful opportunity to sit in the darkness and take our rest.

Valuable time needed by us all, to restore the energy we have used throughout the busy year, so we can come back in spring, ever stronger.

But how many of us, today, really take the rest we need and deserve?

The rest, the love, and the care that we are supposed to allow for ourselves at this time?

What happens to most of us, instead, is that we end up busier than ever, preparing for the festive season, more stressed than ever before and wearing ourselves into the ground.

So, instead of bringing a relaxed, calm, and present energy to ourselves, our families and the celebrations, we can bring the opposite.

When we move with the rhythm of life, so cyclically and in tune with nature, we become more in tune with ourselves, more in tune with our needs. And we begin learning how to meet them, whilst we also discover our own inner truth and wisdom.

This next turn in the wheel is about celebrating the darkness, not fighting it. It is learning to accept it, move through what feels hard, and discover the gold and the beauty that lies inside.

It’s embracing our place in the cycles of life. Learning to find depth, shelter, warmth, a cosy Solstice fire, connected to our community by our roots, while sharing our stories, each one so full of wisdom.

Until we eventually rise again, when we are ready. Like a seedling pushing gently but with force, out into the light.

Full of new strength and transformation.

Deepen your connection to nature and to self

It’s the perfect season to begin deepening your connection to the earth.

Just like the roots of the trees and all the plants and mycelial networks below ground.

And what better way to do this than by spending intentional time connecting with the elements.

The earth beneath your feet. The wind tending to the tassels of your hair, as you connect with the wild food and medicines available to us at this time. Then cosying up inside with a wild tea, by candle light with a seasonal craft, nourishing food, good company and conversation.

 

What you can expect on the day:

Foraging walk

Wild teas and treats IN THE CAULDRON AND CUP

FELTING FLY AGARIC MUSHROOM AND ACORNS WORKSHOP

WILD HERBAL HOT CACAO

A nourishing lunch made with seasonal and medicinal plants & FUNGI

STORYTELLING AND A TALK ON THE MAGIC AND MEDICINE OF THE FLY AGARIC

 

Forage

At the start of the day, Lucy will take you on a wild wander to show you what wild edible and medicinal foods are still available to us, especially in winter. And how they can support our body, mind and soul – and the relevance this all has with the gut and our immune system!

Felting Workshop

We will spend our afternoon relaxing by candlelight, herbal potions in hand, being guided by the creative expertise of Rachel Knox from Luna Natura to craft a felted fly agaric and acorn garland.

Hot Herbal Winter Potions

 

Throughout the day, you will be served wild brews in the Cauldron and Cup Cafe. The Cauldron & Cup is a monthly pop up for wild tea & bakes, witchy wellbeing, gorgeous connection, & magickal workshops.

Here,  you will be treated to potions from our wild winter apothecary and have the opportunity to pull an oracle card and explore divination. Then later you will be given a talk on the healing medicine and magic of the Fly Agaric. And of course, Lucy’s famous wild hot chocolates will be dished out with love!

 

 

It’s time to let go of that which no longer serves us and allow it to become rich, dark, fertile soil for our roots, and also for the community of people, who surround us. So that we may all thrive, together.

This is how we can learn to find our inner light, connection to source, that is always alive and burning inside of us.

 

 

Wild Food & Drinks

As usual, you will be provided with some wild food treats to try but please feel free to also bring along your own food/snacks, to keep yourself sustained throughout the day if you feel you might need more or may not enjoy what is served.

We are unable to cater for dietary needs without plenty of notice, as the dishes are planned and food sourced well in advance.
