Learn to Purify Water, Make Essential Oils, and First Aid Sprays

Join herbalist Leah Wolfe for an afternoon of taste, texture, aroma, color, and the sense that comes from an immersion in botanicals.

Leah will demonstrate the distillation process of botanical essences, share ideas for recipes, and bring refreshments.

Learn about different extraction methods to make herbal essences (hydrosols) and essential oils with little more than a handful of barks, leaves, and needles from plants that grow in the region.

This experience also comes with the following online materials, available for 30 days so that you can preview and review information to help you develop skills to safely choose herbs that fit your constitution and elemental patterns, plus a guide to ethical foraging.

Community Distillation for Herbalism and First Aid

Course
5 Lessons

Today essential oils are often mass produced using industrial farming and distillation techniques. To make distillation cleaner and closer to home, I'm creating a community of herbal distillers to practice distillation in person and/or receive distilled products for personal use. Community distillation gives us access to locally made products for healing and first aid.
