Winter Wonder - self care with herbs
In a friendly session taking place via zoom you are invited to join herbalist Maria Billington who will be sharing a variety of ideas for self care using herbs.
This workshop is all about giving yourself and your body and senses a bit of love. We are coming to the end of Winter and often this month is the coldest, wettest and fairly miserable. We can see Spring approaching but even though it is but a short month the brighter, greener spring days still seem out of our grasp. Below you can find a list of the activities and the equipment needed.
The session costs £2.50 (+ booking fee) and must be reserved in advance, you will receive a link to join via zoom, shortly in advance of the event.
Pre workshop challenge:
Pine needles! This challenge required you to get out into nature and find some young pine needles (do not use Yew or Cypress which are both toxic). Pine needles contain lots of vitamin C and A. Add some needles to boiling water and steep for 5 minutes and enjoy (you can add a bit of honey for sweetness).
We will chat about this challenge during the workshop.
