Come work with the plants and essential oils that will help you and your family through the winter months. In this hands-on workshop, we will make plant-based herbal tonics such as a sore throat and cough spray, Rosemary Gladstar’s famous “Fire Cider”, yummy teas, and an essential oil healing room spray.
