Hello lovely souls,

I am beyond excited to share an upcoming event that is close to my heart. This August, join us for the "Herbal Remedies for Home Healing: Learn How to Create Your Own Apothecary" workshop. From the 9th to the 11th, come along to the enchanting environment of Mynyddcerrig, South West Wales, and discover the magic of natural healing.

What to Expect

Hands-On Learning

Over these three transformative days, you will gain practical experience in identifying, harvesting, and preparing various herbs. This workshop will guide you through the ancient and empowering art of crafting your own herbal remedies, enabling you to support your health and well-being naturally.

Expert Guidance

I am thrilled to be joined by my lovely friend Holly Swinton, a community herbalist dedicated to restoring our ancestral knowledge of natural medicine. Holly's passion for making true medicine local, low cost, and natural led her to set up a health hub in Coventry, where she teaches medicine making every Saturday evening. She has built a vast apothecary there, providing a low-cost community medicine chest for its members.

Dubbed the "barefoot forager," Holly, along with her wolf pup Luna, leads foraging walks to find food, drinks, and medicinal plants. She loves beekeeping, growing herbs, self-sufficiency, and learning ancient ways of cooking and preserving. As a passionate lover of all things plant and mushroom, I will also share my insights and enthusiasm. This workshop is designed for everyone—from beginners to those who want to deepen their herbal medicine knowledge.

A Weekend of Non-Stop Learning and Creating

This isn't just a workshop; it's a full weekend packed with continuous learning and hands-on creation. You'll be actively engaged in making your own herbal remedies, learning new skills, and connecting deeply with nature. Topics will range from the sacred Saxon herbs and Amish remedies to creating foraged apple cider vinegar, performing parasite cleanses, and using kitchen items to treat common ailments. We will also cover how to grow and forage for a first aid kit and create your own natural painkillers, sleep aids, and more.

Community and Connection

Join a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for nature and holistic health. Our retreats foster a sense of community, connection, and mutual support. Together, we’ll explore the magical woodlands and meadows, foraging for herbs and learning about their healing properties.
