REGIONAL CALENDAR 2010 Upper Midwest Events The Coulee Region Herbal Institute is based in LaCrosse, Wisconsin but members come from all over the Upper Midwest. One of our goals is to make connections - to help facilitate a strong network of regional herbalists and wild food educators who promote the wise use of plants as medicine and wild food through education, ethical wild-crafting and sustainable, bioregional exchange of goods and services. Please support the network! Below, you will find a sampling of classes, events, workshops & links for Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Visit, sign up for classes & other events, spread the word & get back to us with more information & links! emails to CRHI: gramherb@hotmail.com (put CRHI in subject line) Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/coulee-region-herbal-institute/ Coulee Region Events
Sunday January 17th 3:30-5:30 pm People's Food Co-op LaCrosse, WI It's the REAL THING! Strictly NON-alcoholic brews - it's time to bring back the honored skills of the "ale-wife", but with some of our own locally harvested fruit & herbal twists. Come taste test & learn how to make a variety of simply wild, bubbly drinks. Lots of recipes to share & a drawing for a starter culture for some lucky person to take home. Give a cheer for Biodiversity. Let's celebrate! For more info: 507-452-1585 – Carol Jacobs January 27th - 31st, Weds-Sun - WSU Campus, Winona, MN The Frozen River Film Festival 2010 Theme is "Food"! There is a saying, "you are what you eat". Everyone says it, but how many of us stop to consider exactly what it means? You are what you eat. The food becomes part of us; it fuels us. Shouldn't we give ourselves the best food available to fuel our daily lives? Maybe that means choosing a local restaurant rather than the fast food joint, or deciding to buy sustainably raised meat rather than the mass produced conventional products. We owe it to ourselves to choose the food with integrity, because what we put into our bodies affects what we get out of them. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." -J. R. R.
