“Experience the wide variety of wellness businesses Cochrane has to offer. This event aims to ELEVATE personal and community well-being!”

I’m excited to be part of Elevate again this year! I’ll be offering a workshop all about :

Digestive Bitters ~

Benefits, history, and how to.

Various bitter herbs and preparations have been used worldwide since ancient times to support digestion, liver function, and general health. Tasting bitter wakes up the whole digestive system, helping our bodies process, assimilate, and eliminate more effectively. 

Learn about:
~How bitters can help our digestive health and so much more

~A brief history of bitters: from ancient kings to cocktail culture...
~How to: formulation, flavours, and the simple infusion process
~And I’ll share herbs to make your own! You can choose from a couple recipes or make a custom blend to take home:)

My session and many others are all included in a ticket to Elevate. It is an all day event, held on Oct. 1st this year. I would love to see you there!

Do you dream of a beautiful home apothecary? Expand your herbal knowledge, build your collection of herbs and concoctions for daily nutrition and well being, and have fun along the way.

Mugwort:

Meet Mugwort. A powerful, playful ally. She has a sacred ancient history of use, and can support us in many ways. From digestive, reproductive, and nervous system health, soothing inflammation in muscles and joints, to dreamwork, protection, connection, feminine magic, and times of transition. Taste tea, craft a smoke wand to cleanse yourself and your space, and more …

You’ll leave with a healing concoction or two, knowledge to bring into your life and wellness toolkit, a handout with the info and recipes discussed, and more of the herb to play with!

Spruce is a beautiful and abundant local friend that is so worth getting to know. And this is the perfect time of year, when the tender new spruce tips are growing. During this in person workshop we will:

• Learn how to differentiate Spruce from other evergreens

• Sip Spruce tea, and learn some herbal tea tips

• Talk tinctures and blend an elixir to spruce up your summer drinks and support immune health

• Learn about herbal oils, and make a delightful spruce infused salt scrub to invigorate and nourish your skin

• And more…

This is the first in a three part summer series. Three afternoons of botanical crafting, concocting, and connecting... Each day we'll focus on one plant and get to know it through observation, tea tasting, hands on learning, and discussing some of it’s history, benefits, and uses.

You can come to as many as you want. If you bring friends or family, or come to more than one, there’s a discount! You will take home your new knowledge and creations (at least three items each time), and a write up with info and recipes so you can reference what you learned, and try out more at home!

These workshops are for beginners, dabblers, and plant people who want to connect and concoct with other people! If you want to build your collection of herbs and concoctions for daily nutrition and well-being, and you want to have fun along the way, this is for you!

If you don’t have the dollars right now, feel free to get in touch, I’m open to discussing trade options! Check out my Workshop page to read more and sign up!

With the renewal and rebirth of Spring, this is an optimal time to refresh our souls and nurture our essential natures. This is the season to sweep away the cobwebs and create space for what is needed.

Join Caitlin Vliet, Bonobo Botanicals, and Kelly Beaton, Hunter Valley Adventures, as we share tea, clear out the muddy thoughts from our minds, integrate mindfulness and storytelling to bring us home to ourselves. We'll also be introduced to herbs and remedies for cleansing and replenishing our bodies.

You will leave with recipes and tips to build your relationship with the herbs introduced, along with a journal, mindfulness practices and journaling prompts to ground you. Take what resonates and integrate it into your home practice.

The night may end but the connections are yours to keep.

Found's bar will be open serving wine, beer, non-alcoholic drinks & hot beverages.
