Seaweed Foraging Camps: Mendocino Coast

Join us for a weekend of seaweed harvesting, outdoor cooking, and soaking in the beauty of the Northern California coast. Led by longtime herbalist and forager Tanya Stiller, these small-group camps blend hands-on learning with nourishment and connection—to land, food, and one another.

You’ll forage for edible seaweeds during low tide, learn how to prepare them as food and medicine, and spend unhurried time at a beautiful coastal farm in Mendocino. Both weekends include morning shoreline foraging, coastal ecology, cooking demos, and evening seaweed-infused hot tub soaks.

To keep the experience relaxed and meaningful, group size is limited to 15 people. Dogs are welcome, as long as they’re kept on leash.
