In 1994,
jim mcdonald's life
changed when he drank tea from a wild plant he harvested
from the land he lived upon. Since those first sips of
strange tea, his life in the woods and meadows of
southeast michigan has been centered on the plants &
ecosystems of that land, and how he might share their
virtues to restore wellness with those around him.
jim's approach to herbcraft is deeply rooted in the land
he lives upon, and blends traditional european folk
influences with 19th century eclectic and physiomedical
vitalism, which he conveys with story, experience, humour,
common sense and lore to students, clients, random
passersby and readers of his websites www.herbcraft.org & herbcraft.podia.com.
He's taught classes throughout north america, is one of
the organizers of the
Great Lakes Herb Faire
and is currently alternately writing “Foundational Herbcraft”
and the “A Great Lakes Herbal”, in addition to articles
for journals and other publications. jim is a community
herbalist, a manic wildcrafter and medicine maker, and
has been an ardent student of the most learned
teachers of herbcraft…
the plants themselves.
