An Immersive Coastal Experience Like No Other
Join us for a truly special journey into the wild abundance of the sea and shore. Wild Nutrition: Coast is a unique, hands-on course held in and along the stunning coastal edge of Portland. This deeply enriching experience blends coasteering, foraging, and wild nutrition, inviting you to connect with the land and sea in unforgettable ways.
Led by expert coasteering guide Daniel, you'll explore the coastal terrain—navigating rock pools, tidal edges, and the rich marine landscape where edible seaweeds and ocean life thrive.
Alongside him is Tasha, a seasoned wild food educator and chef with over 15 years of experience in foraging, land-based food systems, and wild cuisine. Former Head of Land & Food at 42 Acres Retreat, Tasha brings deep knowledge and warmth to her teaching, rooted in both practice and passion.
Together, they will guide you through:
Identifying and sustainably harvesting seaweed, shellfish, and coastal plants
Understanding the nutritional and culinary value of these powerful indigenous ingredients
Demonstrations on drying, preserving, and creating your own wild stock powders and kitchen staples
Cooking a shared feast together using what we’ve foraged—including, if luck is on our side, freshly caught lobster from Daniel’s pots for a wild paella dinner
There will be time to rest, take in the sea air, or enjoy a coastal sauna (details below). In the evening, we’ll gather around the fire to prepare and celebrate a meal that embodies the magic of the day’s harvest.
Included in the Course:
Day 1. Fully guided and coasteering experience and Sauna
Day 2. Early morning breath work and meditation, Coastal Foraging Walk, Expert-led wild food and nutrition workshops
Delicious and Nutritious Coast to Fork Meals Provided
Digital booklet with recipes and plant/seaweed identification notes to keep and refer to

Spaces are limited to ensure an intimate and hands-on experience.
We warmly invite you to be part of this unforgettable coastal adventure.
Wild Nutrition, Coast
PLEASE NOTE: You must bring trainers that you are happy to get wet for coasteering, with a good sole suitable for wearing in the water. You can wear wetsuit shoes, but their soles often don’t grip the rocks as well, so an old pair of trainers is much more preferable.
Shoes are the most important piece of equipment, so please do not forget to bring them — otherwise, you may not be able to take part in the first activity of the morning.
Please arrive Thursday evening. Bring your own Tent, Lunches and Dinners are provided on Friday and Saturday, we kindly ask you to organise your own breakfasts. Enjoy a hot sauna as part of the weekend at no extra cost.
If you would like to take some of the fresh ingredients home, please bring a cool box with an ice block and some Tupperware so you can take home samples to cook with in the days after the course.
If you have any questions and would like to speak to someone, please contact community@landfoodmedicine.com to ask questions or arrange a call.
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate anyone with limited mobility. However, please feel free to contact us — if we believe it is safe to do so, we will do our best to include you.
In case of stormy weather: If the event is cancelled due to unsafe conditions, we will offer either a rescheduled date or a refund minus a £5 booking fee. You are welcome to transfer to any course of a similar value offered by Land, Food and Medicine, and you will either be refunded the difference or asked to pay the difference, depending on the course chosen.
