We will meet at my home in West Sedona, where we will spend a few moments getting to know one another, and you will learn about the trees and plants of the area. One of my favorite topics is the medicine and mythology of trees, evidenced in cultures and native medicines from around the world. Nature is an unsung healing superhero. We utilize roots, leaves, barks, needles, and flowers in our medicine making.
As we learn about the medicinal trees, plants and herbs, we will be working with the i
ngredients you’ve just learned about, which I have gathered and made ready, in the form of pre infused oil. You will learn how to make a salve out of herb infused oil and beeswax, and you will make a jar of your own Sedona medicine to take home with you. After the salve is made, while it is cooling we move into the Apothecary, where you will get to interact with different styles of herbal medicine and learn about the extraction process.
Supplies are ethically and sustainably wild harvested, and/or sources from certified organic growers. All supplies are provided for you.
Other things to note
Any allergies need to be disclosed. Oils for salve making are pre infused. There is no outdoors portion of the class. THIS IS NOT A WALKING TOUR. Class size is set to 2, but I can accommodate groups of up to 12 upon request. Depending on group size, classes last between 40 mins -1.5 hours.
