Hands-on herbalism workshops in small groups. Work directly with plants, make your own remedies, and leave with skills you can use.

These workshops are hands-on, small, and practical. You leave with what you made, the skills to make more, and the confidence to care for yourself and the people you love. Whether you are new to herbalism or already have a practice, there is something here for you.

Infused Herbs

Learn to make tinctures, vinegars, elixirs, oxymels, and honeys using local or organically sourced plants.

Example workshop: Meet Elder and Lavender: Make elderberry syrup, a reliable immune tonic and staple of any herbal medicine cabinet, alongside lavender-infused honey, a floral sweetener perfect for tea or taken by the spoonful for calm. You leave with a jar of each and the skills to make both at home.

Fire Cider

A warming folk remedy and cold and flu season staple, made from raw apple cider vinegar infused with fresh garlic, ginger root, turmeric, onion, thyme, and raw honey. You will also cover ethical plant harvesting while you work.
