These workshops are for you if you:

- Would like to use herbal remedies but find them to be expensive - making your own greatly cuts down on the cost of using tinctures and salves
- Want to learn in-person with other people
Supplies / additional costs: All herbs, beeswax, and salve containers are provided. You will need to supply alcohol, oil, cheesecloth, and a few glass jars (materials list sent once you register). These materials will probably cost $50 - $75.

What past students said...
"I learned so much from this course. This is one of the foundations of my herbalism journey. I would recommend this to anyone who is just starting to get serious about herbalism."
"Kelly is full of knowledge and teaches in a very digestible way. Before taking her class I never tried making my own tinctures, teas, or salves before and now I make them all the time. Highly recommend taking a class with Kelly!"

*I offer scholarships to address the herbal knowledge stolen by colonizers from BIPOC healers, to address structural inequality present in our world that keeps some marginalized people from financial security, and to keep my work rooted in community.
