Join me around the fire for an evening exploring the delicious and healing world of herbal elixirs and oxymels — traditional plant remedies made with herbs, honey, alcohol, vinegar and seasonal botanicals.
Together we’ll learn how to craft nourishing herbal preparations for immunity, digestion, energy, nervous system support and everyday wellbeing, using fresh and dried medicinal plants. We’ll taste a variety of botanical blends and explore how flavour, medicine and ritual can beautifully intertwine.
During the workshop you’ll create your own herbal oxymel and botanical elixir to take home, learning simple techniques that you can continue using throughout the seasons.
Expect herbal teas, homemade cordials, storytelling, seasonal plants and a warm, intimate atmosphere around the fire.
No experience needed. All materials and refreshments provided. Small numbers to keep the gathering personal and relaxed.
£45.00
The workshop will be held at my private allotment in Dundonald, Belfast. It is essential to wear warm clothing as the majority of the session will be held outdoors. Please let me know in advance if you have any mobility issues as the site may not be accessible for everyone. I will email directions and some further information about the evening, so please check your junk mail in case it lands in there!
