Johanna Knox (Ngāti Tukorehe, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Tangata Tiriti) is widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s most knowledgeable and creative foragers. The recently-released second edition of A Forager’s Treasury is as stunning as the first and as full of the author’s sparkling writing and dazzling depth of knowledge about what we can find in our own gardens. This Spring, we bring Johanna Knox to your place to lead your coven on a foraging trip before settling inside to let nature inspire creative conversation and creative writing. Johanna will lead a writing exercise as well as share recipes and thoughts on the magic of nurturing our own wellbeing alongside the wellbeing of our planet.
This event is for a maximum of 12.

Terms and conditions for Travelling Covens

There are four Travelling Covens designed to take place in people’s homes: Kitchen Witch with Jess Richards; Stitchin’ Witch with Stacey Teague; Foraging & Writing with Johanna Knox; and Travel Memoir with Ingrid Horrocks.

Travelling Covens have been designed for groups of 5 - 18 people to attend. Each Travelling Coven can be purchased by one person only who invites their friends to attend. Friends then pay a donation to the host; we suggest splitting the purchase price evenly between you all. Please note that only one tax receipt can be issued (to the original purchaser). Verb is not responsible for payments between guests and hosts.

There are two date options for each Travelling Coven event however each event only takes place once. Once they are purchased they are sold out.

All correspondence with the Travelling Coven writers regarding each event remains with Verb.

The ticket purchaser agrees to:

Host the Travelling Coven in their home (or be purchasing on behalf of someone else who has agreed to host)
Arrange for their friends and guests to attend
Ensure there are a minimum of five people attending (please note, the ticket price can not decrease)
Ensure there are no more than 18 people attending
Allow Verb to collect guests’ names and contact details, and provide a QR code for sign in using the NZ Covid Tracer app
Allow Verb to visit the host’s home in the weeks prior so we can talk through basic health and safety needs and sign a simple MOU between us
Allow Verb to create a bespoke environment tailored for each workshop (this could include us bringing in decorations, cushions and lighting, for instance)
Allow Verb to document the Travelling Coven (this would not be extensive, perhaps one or two photos per session)
Respond to all communications with Verb in the lead up to the event.

Note: The host of Foraging & Writing: Johanna Knox must have access to a large garden or nearby bush area.

Cancellation:

If Verb is forced to cancel a Travelling Coven, then the purchaser of the Travelling Coven event will be fully refunded.
If the host is forced to cancel then a refund will be discussed on a case-by-case basis (depending on the time frame, some costs may not be able to be refunded. This will be covered in more detail in the MOU).
