All about wild herbs.
The Herbal Apothecary of Autumn – 5 Week Course
Creations for Body & Being.
Step into the world of herbs and the turning of the season — a five-week journey crafted for autumn, the season of breath, transformation, creativity, and self-care. Each week we will meet new herbs. Learn and discover different ways of working with them, and how to weave their wisdom and benefits into our daily lives.
Through hands-on sessions you will craft teas, oils, tinctures, perfumes, and bath products for rituals — with the opportunity to personalize each creation to suit your own needs and intentions. At the end of every session, you’ll bring home with you not only deepened knowledge, but also your own crafted herbal products, carrying the gifts of the herbs with you into the months ahead. We will be working with high-quality cultivated plants and oils, as well as carefully wild-harvested herbs, to bring both potency and a deeper connection to nature into your creations.
The course is held as a closed group, allowing us to grow together as a small, supportive herbal community over the five weeks. It is a space for care, creativity, and nourishment — an invitation to align with the rhythms of the season, deepen your relationship with plants, and discover herbs as daily allies for well-being, inspiration, and self-care.
