As society becomes ever more disconnected, a revivalist movement is flourishing like a rhizome. This ancient path of the forager reconnects us to the vital, to wildness and what is, in effect, the very pulse of life

itself.One of the most direct ways to experience this is to consume this wildness.

The act of taking wild food and medicine into our body, that in time becomes so transformative.FORAGE IN AUTUMN is not a harking back to some naive, romantic vision of how we might once have lived.
