Looking for a better way to treat yourself and the planet?

In this in-depth, hands-on workshop, you are guided step-by-step in practical ways to make healthy creams, salves, balms, herbal oils, face cleansers, mouthwashes, tooth powders, and more. Learn to create an individual skin, hair and body care plan for yourself, and practice doing a consult for a classmate.
