Join around the hearth for this wintertime herbal medicine making class on tending to our largest organ — the skin — through the making of infused herbal oils and skin-loving salves! In the first class of our monthly herbal medicine series taught by herbalist Alyssa Schimmel of Enspiriting Healing & Ritual Arts, we’ll cover some favorite herbs for tending and nurturing to our skin, alleviating inflammation & pain, and supporting a variety of skin conditions.

Attendees will meet skin-supportive herbal allies and learn the benefits of a range of natural oils and garden-grown and foraged ingredients that will then be crafted into take-home salves to support wound healing. This workshop will also function to prepare mutual-aid salves to support elders of the Navajo Nation in Black Mesa, Arizona.

Please bring a notebook, mug for herbal tea, and whatever materials best support your comfort and learning.

Please register in advance through the website and send an investment of $65 via Venmo to @Alyssa-Schimmel. Please inform Alyssa of any allergies prior to class. Any questions can be directed to Alyssa at alyssa@enspiritinghealing.com.
