Lower Mangrove Mountain, an hour from central Sydney - address given on registration

Learn to create your own medicinally effective infused oils

Come and discover how to craft oils of high quality, good shelf life and with the potent energy that comes from connecting with the plant spirit as an ally. Explore several methods of manufacture, with both fresh and dry herbs, with ways of optimising the extraction of constituents.

We’ll also be making herbal liniments, combining your infused oils with tinctures for topical use in a range of conditions. Liniments are for much more than just sore muscles! 

In the sacred herbalism way, we connect with the land and the spirit of the plant, combining energetic elements, such as flower essences with a deeper heart communion.

This will be a very practical workshop with demonstrations and herb connecting and collecting. Plus, you’ll receive notes of all the processes and your own fresh plant oil maceration you create from locally growing plants.
