This class is for the woman who carries a lot. The mother who is always needed. The caregiver who rarely gets to fully rest. The woman rebuilding, recovering, pouring out, or simply longing to feel more grounded in her own body again.

During this two-hour workshop, we will explore herbs traditionally used to support the nervous system, emotional balance, rest, and resilience. We will talk about the difference between **daily nourishing support** and **acute support** for moments of stress, overwhelm, tension, or emotional depletion.

Together, we will learn about herbs such as:

Lemon balm
Chamomile
Passionflower
Oatstraw
Milky oats
Skullcap
Tulsi
Adaptogens and their cautions

We will also discuss how to choose herbs based on the season of life you are in, why “calming” herbs are not all the same, and how to work with these plants safely and intentionally.

This will be a hands-on class with time for learning, discussion, and making. Each participant will create a simple restorative herbal preparation to take home, such as a **calming tea blend** or **herbal bath soak**, along with practical guidance for how to use it.

You will leave with a deeper understanding of nervous system support, a handmade herbal preparation, and simple tools you can begin weaving into your daily rhythm of care.

**What to bring:**
Please bring a notebook and pen for taking notes, a water bottle, and anything you may need to feel comfortable outdoors or in a relaxed farm setting. You may also want to bring a small basket or bag to carry home your herbal creation.

No prior herbal experience is required. This class is beginner-friendly and rooted in simple, practical, traditional herbal care for everyday women and real-life seasons of exhaustion, stress, and restoration.

Join us for a hands-on plant medicine making workshop designed to help you feel more confident turning herbs into safe, effective, practical remedies for your home apothecary.

In this class, we’ll walk through the foundations of herbal extraction and discuss how to turn plants into viable medicine using simple, traditional methods. You’ll learn the differences between common solvents, also called menstrua, such as water, alcohol, vinegar, glycerin, and oil, and how each one pulls different properties from the plant.

We’ll cover which herbs extract best in which menstruum, why preparation method matters, and how to choose the right form of medicine for the herb and the person using it.

Together, we’ll discuss:

• The basics of safe and effective herbal medicine making
• The difference between infusions, decoctions, tinctures, glycerites, vinegars, and infused oils
• How different solvents extract different plant constituents
• Matching herbs with the proper menstruum
• Foundational dosing principles and safety considerations
• How to label, store, and use your herbal preparations with confidence

This workshop includes a hands-on medicine making portion where each student will create their own herbal extract to take home.

Whether you’re brand new to herbal medicine or ready to deepen your home apothecary skills, this class will give you practical knowledge you can immediately use in your own kitchen.

What’s included:
Instruction, materials, herbs, menstruum, jar/bottle, printed notes, and your own handmade herbal extract to take home.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and leave with both knowledge and medicine in hand.
