Foraging in the Coastal Plains of South Carolina

A 10-Week Immersion with Charlotte

You were never meant to just walk through nature. You were meant to walk with her.

There is an entire pharmacy thriving beneath your feet. Dandelions whisper of liver renewal. Goldenrod glows with resilience. Nettles sing of strength and endurance. Plantain cradles your wounds. And chamber bitter-stonebreaker and liver soother-waits quietly, ready to teach.

This isn’t just a class-it’s a homecoming. For ten weeks, you’ll walk the land as your ancestors once did, forging soulful ties with the wild flora that surround you.

Led by Charlotte, a wise-woman with over 40 years of experience in herbalism, intuitive plant communication, and spiritual practice, this class is a reclamation of knowledge our ancestors once carried in their bones.

You’ll learn to:
🌿 Confidently identify medicinal “weeds” (spoiler: they’re powerful allies in disguise)
🌿 Harvest ethically, safely, and in harmony with the land
🌿 Understand plant morphology, root systems, and seasonal cycles
🌿 Work with herbs for remedies, salves, tinctures, and wildcrafted food
🌿 Avoid imposters and toxic lookalikes
🌿 Tap into the spirit and story of each plant you meet

More than a foraging course, this is a remembering. A rewilding. A return.

Whether you’re tending a garden, healing your body, or reclaiming ancestral wisdom, Wild Herbology will teach you how to read the language of the land-and respond with reverence.

🌀 Seats are filling fast-let Charlotte, a master of wild medicine, show you how to listen to the land and walk in rhythm with the earth.

Let the land teach you. Let the plants claim you.
Let Charlotte show you the way.
