There is something quietly radical about making your own medicine. Something ancient about it too; the knowledge that the plants growing at the edges of fields and along the creek banks and in the cracks of stone walls are not just weeds but a living pharmacy.
For most of human history, making medicine was something you did with your own hands, from what grew nearby, guided by someone who had learned from someone before them. This workshop is an afternoon in that tradition.
You will work with seven plants of this season and this place (some freshly harvested, some carefully dried) choosing four to tincture yourself over the course of 3.5 unhurried hours. Tanya, a clinical herbalist with more than 25 years of experience, will walk you through the story and medicine of each plant, teach you the principles behind the preparations, and then set you free to make at your own pace while the room fills with the smell of lemon balm and yarrow and cinnamon and wild things.
Every participant leaves with a curated kit — glass macerating jars for making your tinctures, amber dropper bottles for daily use, laminated botanical monograph cards with illustration and plant profile to refer to again and again, a handmade wooden herb stripper, a linen pressing cloth, sheets of custom labels, a metal funnel, a tincture tracker booklet, and a set of laminated reference cards for dosing, herbal actions and tincture calculations. Everything you need to keep making medicine long after the afternoon is over.
Herbal drinks and light snacks are included. Space is limited to ten people.
Come spend a June afternoon at The Laundry Collective with your hands in good work and your nose full of Summer. Leave with four jars of your own hand made medicine and all the knowledge you need to make countless more.
