Learn how to forage and identify edible plants from their look, touch, taste, and smell.
Part art installation, part cooking lesson, part nature walk, the Art of Foraging explores new dimensions of wisdom, wonder, and well-being.
Danish botanical artist Mamakan invites you to experience Nordic-style food and drinks with New Zealand native plants.
Each walk is bespoke, small, and outdoors with plenty of space to indulge your senses at Velskov, a native forest farm in New Zealand - just 35 minutes from Auckland CBD.
RSVP Spaces are limited. Questions are welcome on 027 220 9107 or mamakan@mamakan.com.

REVIEWS
"I returned feeling very grounded and in awe of the native plants we live amongst. The smells and tastes we experienced were incredible. All beautiful magic potions! A very welcoming sense of "homecoming" opportunity for all of us, new migrants, visitors, and residents. I will be recommending The Art of Foraging to many special people". - Renee Tanner
"A reinvigorating encounter that captivates all of the senses. This made me realize the great multitude of amazing multi-purposed native plants surrounding us, whether at the local park or in the ancient national forests. Mamakan teaches through storytelling, and her experiences engage you in a world more connected to nature. A grounding experience to reset from the disconnectedness of the modern age" - Frasier Cho
