Looking for a better way to treat yourself and the planet? Whether you are looking to avoid the chemicals found in many products, interested in a zero-waste lifestyle, or simply enjoy making things yourself, you can learn how to create your own customized, nontoxic, personal care products perfectly suited to your needs. Using simple, pure ingredients that support the body, skin and hair, herbalist Dina Falconi, author of Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair, answers your questions and reveals the art and science of making home-crafted body-care products with her favorite master recipes that soothe, nourish and heal.

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.

Enjoy a luxurious herbal facial treatment from the items created in the workshop, and return home with product samples and the knowledge you need to continue creating your own natural and healthy personal body care products.

Come explore the beauty and the bounty of the gardens, fields and woods in this six month comprehensive course. We will cover a vast amount of information encouraging the daily use of herbs for food, medicine and pleasure.  This course is designed to provide inspiring, practical and thorough “hands on” herbal information that can easily be incorporated into one’s life.

Topics include:

  • Herbal Therapeutics
  • Wild Plant Identification and Application
  • Wild Food Foraging and Culinary Preparations
  • Medicine Making
  • Herbal Skin Care
  • Nutritional Healing… and More

A significant amount of class time will be spent outdoors studying wild and cultivated plants. We will then bring these plants into our kitchen-classroom and transform them into food, medicine and various other preparations.  As part of our learning experience, we will prepare and enjoy a primarily “wild” delicious meal influenced by the plants that are in season.  Everyone will make an abundance of preparations to bring home and begin to create their own medicine chests.  In the last part of each class we will focus on a particular organ system, health topic or special project.
