RELATIONSHIPS OF LOVING RECIPROCITY:
The Practice of regenerative wildcrafting
Course Launching at the End of April 2026!
THE PRACTICE OF REGENERATIVE WILDCRAFTING
Distilling my nearly 30 years of wildcrafting and medicine making experience, these videos and accompanying materials complement and greatly expand upon the information I shared in my bestselling book, Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants.
Filled with practical hands-on information, experiential stories, and explorations of relational ways of knowing, Relationships of Loving Reciprocity invites you to enter into a deeper recognition and honoring of our interconnected existence with the land and communities of life. In this way, we can work together to ensure that these plants and their medicine will be available for many generations to come.
Meet your Guide,
Scott Kloos
As a ceremonialist, author, wildcrafter, plant medicine maker and practitioner, animist, singer of plant songs, and aspiring integral ecologist, I have devoted much of my adult life to studying relationships between humans and medicinal plants.
I have shared this passion with the community by offering classes, courses, and trips through The School of Forest Medicine, authoring Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants: Identify, Harvest, and Use 120 Wild Herbs for Health and Wellness, and supplying high-quality, small-batch wildcrafted bioregional botanical extracts through Cascadia Folk Medicine.
