Whole plant Medicine
Herbal remedies and botanical infused skin care from the earth to the bottle
Introduction to Botanical Infused Skincare
Sustainable is seasonal. Our botanical infused skin care workshop will be held in winter and we will use the seasonal harvests that nature has to offer around this time. We flow with the rhythm of the seasons and as a whole we believe this embodies wellness and connection; spiritually, mentally and physically. Our workshops are hands on, not only you be learning and taking away recipes, you will gain practical knowledge of creating and blending on the day. There is so much to learn about herbs and how we can use them in our everyday lives to benefit ourselves, family and friends. You will take away everything we create on the day which includes:
