Tincture Making Workshop (Half-day)

A hands-on workshop exploring the art of tincture making.

Deep dive into the processes of making tinctures with freshly harvested medicinal plants from the farm garden.

We will start the morning in the garden, where you'll be introduced to herbs growing this time of year, their medicinal qualities and harvesting methods. You will have the opportunity to choose which plant you'd like to work with, and recommendations provided (over 15 herbs to choose from). Materia medica printouts and evidence-based uses of the plant and dosages provided. This workshop aims to provide you with practical skills and take-home recipes to make simple and potent herbal tinctures for common ailments.

We will also discuss the potency and practicalities of undergoing a herbal immersion with this plant tincture at home.

About the facilitator:

Tamara here. I am a student herbalist, workshop facilitator and permaculture teacher who began studying & immersing in the processes of grass-roots herbalism, Intuitive and Traditional Herbalism in 2019. Over the past 4 years, I have become immersed in both Permaculture & Herbalism grass-roots education/living and completed a Diploma of Western Herbal Medicine in 2022, and various Permaculture courses 2020-22. My recent approach to herbalism is informed by my Health Science studies and various grass-roots herbalism movements worldwide that aim to make herbal medicine knowledge accessible.

Through my workshops, I aim to highlight the importance of learner-centred learning, skill sharing, personal connection to plants for healing, community-sufficiency building, as well as the joy that slow and simple home herbalism can bring to our daily lives.
