The Resiliency Institute

Offerings here are AMAZING. The school goes above and beyond teaching about plants: they show you how to build relationships with the natural world. Used to be naturalist is now in a deep love affair with the seasons and cycles of our bioregion. Folks around me are eating healthy with perennial food systems, and feeling good on herbal remedies. Chicagoland/Midwest is so lucky to have this Institute! Highly recommend taking any/all classes here.

SO...I guess I will first say... That I consider myself a person that has done some really cool things. And I say that, so I can say this... The class I took with Jodi Trendler at The Resiliency Institute on 'edible herbs' was one of the coolest activities I have EVER done. I found it truly fascinating. We spent a few hours walking around the grounds of their farm and learning how to identify and pick common herbs, vegetables, and fruits that are literally growing in everyone's back yard. Then we went back into the classroom and took all of our collections and made some of the MOST TASTY food you could ever imagine. I feel like this should be a required class for EVERY HUMAN ON EARTH. I just can't express how pivotal this class was in shaping how I view the outdoors. I give it ten thumbs up!!
