I require a minimum of four participants to do a workshop. The fee includes the Medicine Walk book which will be used in my workshops. Also, it includes mileage fees for local workshops (Within a 75km radius of Bridgewater). The fee for each participant is $45 for a one day workshop, and $75 for a two day workshop. I require travel and lodging expense fees, for workshops in other areas of Nova Scotia, or the Maritime provinces. My fees will differ for workshops in other areas of North America or elsewhere. However, they will always be reasonable, and the result of consultation with the hosting Center or Group.

This workshop teaches traditional uses of plants and trees as medicines from a cultural perspective. You will learn from actual plant & tree samples, from a plant medicine field walk, and from a slide presentation. The workshop can be arranged for a half day, or full day.

I require a minimum of three participants to do a local workshop. The fee for each participant at a local workshop (50 km radius of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia) is $20 for the half day workshop, and $35 for the full day workshop. For workshops outside the "local" area, a travel fee will apply, depending on distance (in some cases, lodging fees). As well, the minimum number of participants for a workshop will differ, depending on distance.

Personal stories and information on the traditional Native uses of plants and trees as medicines and natural cures (primarily the Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada). This is a fascinating presentation, of interest to people from many walks of life. The travelling medicine lecture may be booked for special events, meetings, or conventions.

The fee rate is $50 for Lunenburg County; $60 for Queens County, $75 to $150 for other areas of mainland Nova Scotia, plus travel expenses; $200 for Cape Breton, plus travel expenses. Fees for presentations in other areas of Atlantic Canada are similar to that for Cape Breton, although travel expenses may increase, depending on location and other circumstances. Fees for presentations in other areas of Canada, or elsewhere, will be negotiated on an individual event basis.
