Herb Workshops 2008
Exploring herbs…. Getting to know herbs offers opportunities to discover more about herbs on a very practical and personal level. During each workshop there will be time and space for activities such as: - making a double infused oil - preparing a tincture or vinegar - tasting some herbal tea you have brewed yourself - preparing herbs for drying and storage If you want to learn more about a particular herb during the day or follow its progress throughout the year by sketching or photography, there will be many plants to choose from. Over eighty different medicinal herbs and trees grow in the Sanctuary or the nearby fields. If you are interested in using herbs to support your health or your family’s wellbeing, there will be information and handouts available. There will also be opportunities for learning about the energetic use of herbs, taking time for meditation or ways of connecting with plants or trees. In the summer months you can make flower remedies using the sun method and it may be possible to show the boiling method at other times. If you want to get your hands dirty and do some digging or weeding, or learn how to work with wood, then that’s possible too.
