Plant Camp Rhode Island

Self-Care by the Sea

NARRAGANSETT, RI

JUNE 25-29, 2024

 

Why Narragansett, Rhode Island?

Kat and I took a drive up the coast out of Connecticut last summer, and we decided we’d love to come back to the New England coastline to host a class by the sea!

With gorgeous beaches, and being right across from the unique ecology of Block Island, this felt like the perfect place to  bring folks for a little seaside adventure. 

What is Plant Camp?

Taught by Briana Wiles, Kat Mackinnon, and guest instructors, Plant Camp is a learning community bringing together plant lovers, wild food enthusiasts and herbalists!

Embark on a transformative 4-day journey into the world of herbal skincare and self-care. Held a short walk from the beautiful Narragansett beach, this comprehensive class provides hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge on crafting natural remedies for holistic well-being.

You do not need to book a room at the Retreat House--grab a hotel room, rent a house nearby, or book a spot at one of the campgrounds in the area.

Testimonials  

"I really appreciated the balance between learning botany and the ancestral skills. I also loved how the instructors worked in connection with the plants and the land, and how all of the plant medicine is so much more than just survival and herbalism."
