Kansas Ogham: A Forest Walk in Autumn

$35.00

October 12, 2025 | 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

With Rachel Allai

New for 2025!

Join guest presenter Rachel Allai, musician and teacher for this 4-part, seasonally inspired 2-hour workshop. The ogham is Europe's first and most ancient written language. Known as the celtic alphabet of trees, the original script had 20 characters written vertically - each representing a sacred plant of the forest.

For our autumn walk, we will be exploring the forest through the lens of this sacred relationship. Part-meditation, part-history, part-biology and part-art, we will spend 2 hours with the changing Autumn forest surrounding Wild Ivy Herb Farm. Our intention is simple-- to learn to listen, connect and then create a work of art. Supplies (paper, inks and brushes) will be provided.

This is part of a four-part series, each highlighting a season. Each Forest Walk is $35, but if you would like to register for all 4, we will discount the rate to $125. Please note your interest in the discounted rate for all 4 Forest Walks in the Registration Form, and Wild Ivy Herb Farm will register you via email.
