This hands-on, experiential workshop series is an opportunity for you to learn how to make and use three of the most well known and celebrated herbal infused oils: Calendula oil, mugwort oil and herbal infused castor oil. Leave with a bottle of each oil at the end of the first three classes to work with as you grow your body oiling practice this summer!
Many people misunderstand how to make herbal oils, making them in ways that result in lackluster oil that is not as potent as it could be. By coming to this workshop series, you’ll learn how to make high quality herbal infused oils, as well as their therapeutic properties. You’ll learn my refined techniques for oil crafting as you spend ample time with bioregional medicinal herbs, including tips and suggestions that I’ve picked up over years of making my own oils and applying them effectively to clients, myself, and loved ones alike.
It’s the perfect time of the year to come together with others to craft herbal remedies with our local herbal bounty. Spending time with plants and making simple and effective remedies with our hands can be an incredibly grounding and healing experience. I’m truly looking forward to supporting you to stock your home apothecary with healing remedies during this workshop series.
