Workshop: Rooted in Change - Herbal Menopause
Menopause is a significant and natural life transition — yet it can feel daunting and overwhelming. This workshop invites you to reframe and embrace menopause as a powerful rite of passage, supported by the wisdom of plants and a balanced approach to nutrition. Together, we’ll explore menopause and the hormonal fluctuations that occur throughout this phase. We’ll meet and connect with herbs through tasting, sketching, smelling, and meditating, while exploring their gifts to ease common symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, as well as brain fog, fatigue, and emotional shifts. We’ll focus on how to support your health and vitality with herbs and nutrition.
You’ll gain hands-on experience crafting your own remedies, including tinctures, glycerites, balms, bath salts, and tea blends. This uplifting workshop is perfect for anyone navigating perimenopause or menopause, those interested in natural remedies, or anyone wishing to support and celebrate a loved one through this stage of life.
