Herbal Balms, Lotions & Ointments
Create natural healing remedies with purpose and intuition
Plants have always been our greatest healers — soothing, nourishing and restoring us inside and out.
This hands-on class is a chance to rediscover that connection and learn how to craft your own herbal balms, lotions and ointments that truly work — blending traditional herbal wisdom with modern skincare science and a touch of spiritual understanding.
You will leave with at least one product you have made for yourself in this interactive session.
