- OLD FORGE- Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd., will be hosting Jessica Maureen Hinsdill of Wild Soulstice, LLC with new sessions of the Wild Infusions Herbal study group from 6-7 pm on the 3rd Tuesday of June and July. These sessions will focus on plants that many think of as weeds and are found throughout the Adirondacks. On June 18, the group will discuss Plantain and its uses and health benefits. The July 16 study session will focus on Mullein. Additional sessions are planned for August, September and October. Jessica has been her family's herbalist, healing scrapes and colds with herbal medicine and holistic living. When diagnosed with Lyme Disease, she took a break from college for Holistic Nutrition to heal, finding herbs to support the path back to wellness. Now studying with Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, she started Wild Soulstice, LLC to provide herbal education and Lyme Disease support to the community. The study group session is a great avenue to create a circle of support, a place to reawaken a culture of wellness and rekindle the confidence to "nourish ourselves, our families, and our community". Participants should bring their prior knowledge to enhance the conversation or come to learn. All experiences and ages are encouraged. All are welcome to attend the free Herbal Studies but group size is limited. Call the library, 315-369-6008, or email
