Donation-based herbalism workshops and a sliding-scale herbal apothecary booth led by students of Greenspell's Year 1 & Year 2 courses!
The Greenspell Annual Open House is an event put on by students in both our Year One and Year Two courses providing our students the opportunity to engage our Chicago community and give back a little bit of what they learned throughout the seven month course.
Through student-led workshops and a sliding-scale apothecary booth, this open house supports our ongoing efforts to provide more accessible herbal remedies and education, empowering community members to engage with herbal medicines and wellness practices to cultivate preventative self-care and abundant aliveness!

The Herbal Pantry for Fall & Winter: Tending the Inner Fire
Join Christina for an introduction to seasonal kitchen herbalism. In this workshop, we'll learn ways to work with everyday plants in simple recipes that support nourishment, grounding, and connection to seasonal rhythms. We'll explore the ways mythology and spirituality have shaped our understanding of the changing seasons and our relationship with plants. We'll then conclude with tasting some herbal preparations and you'll take home a nourishing salve for dry winter skin.
