FIRST WAYS AN URBAN FORAGING BLOG: WILD PLANTS FOR FOOD, MEDICINE AND MORE IN PORTLAND, OREGON

....Welcome to First Ways, where you can join in me in unlocking the ancient secrets of wild plants all around us. My goal is to inspire and empower everyone to experience the joyful remembrance of who we really are.

My name is Becky Lerner, and I’m the Portland, Oregon-based blogger behind First Ways. I am that urban forager and herbalist you may have seen on the national TV shows “Brew Dogs” on Esquire Network and “Dark Rye” on Pivot Network; as well as on OPB TV in Oregon, NPR stations in Oregon and Washington, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, Portland Monthly magazine, Orion magazine, Utne Reader, OPB TV, The Oregonian, and many other outlets. I’m also the contributor of the Pacific Northwest plants for the e-field guide that is Steve Brill‘s wonderful “Wild Edibles” iPhone/Android app.

And, I’m the author of the book “Dandelion Hunter: Foraging the Urban Wilderness,” (March 2013, Globe Pequot Press), which Publishers Weekly called “the funniest herbal adventure you’ll ever read.”

First Ways is intended as a free, accurate, accessible wealth of information on the identification and use of edible and medicinal wild plants, especially through the Plant Gallery, where you can explore common plants by photo or common name. I love sharing my botanical knowledge through presentations and private classes for groups, individuals, universities, museums, businesses, and much more, with guided nature walks on plant identification and uses, medicine making workshops, herbal smoking blends instruction, and guided meditations for plant spirit work.

Plants are my passion and I enjoy working with them in all ways, especially metaphysically in my practice as a Reiki master healer (please visit me at: Plant Spirit Reiki). I am excited to announce that I’ll be joining the guest faculty of the Oregon-based Hawthorn Institute in 2015... http://firstways.com/about/

So, the “oh my gawd! zippy’s looked under a rock” enthusiasm because of my new found, and exciting enhancement has brought me to share this... And Yep, sure enough their was edible life under that rock! I like it.
