This hands-on, experiential workshop is an opportunity for you to learn how to make one of the most well known and celebrated herbal infused oils: Calendula oil. Leave with a bottle of oil to start your body oiling self care practice this winter! 

Every household would benefit from having a bottle of calendula oil or salve on hand for basic first aid and skin care needs. Calendula keeps the skin healthy through its gentle lymphatic stimulating action with regular application. Luscious calendula infused oil also encapsulates the warming and healing qualities of peak summer sun, making it an ideal oil to have on hand in the middle of winter, when we can all use a little solar energy. Calendula is often considered the sun in flower form and is a perfect oil to make around the summer solstice. 

Many people misunderstand how to make herbal oils, making them in ways that result in lackluster oil that is not as potent as it could be. By coming to this workshop, you’ll learn how to make high quality calendula oil, as well as its therapeutic properties. You’ll learn my refined techniques for oil crafting as you spend ample time with this special flower, including tips and suggestions that I’ve picked up over years of making my own oils and applying them effectively to clients, myself, and loved ones like.

It’s the perfect time of the year to come together with others to learn about herbal remedy crafting for handmade gift giving and self care practices leading into the holiday season. Spending time with plants and making natural remedies with our hands can be an incredibly grounding and healing experience in and of itself. I’m truly looking forward to supporting you to stock your home apothecary with healing winter remedies during this workshop.

During this workshop, you will:

  • Learn the basic healing properties and beneficial uses of calendula oil

  • Learn how to make calendula oil under the guidance of an experienced herbalist

  • Leave with a 2oz bottle of whole plant infused calendula oil made by Elizabeth (retail value $24)
