This hands-on, experiential workshop is an opportunity for you to learn how to make one of the most well known and celebrated herbal infused oils: Calendula oil. Leave with a bottle of oil to bring into your herbal self care routine this summer! 

Every household would benefit from having a bottle of calendula oil on hand for basic first aid and skin care needs. Calendula keeps the skin healthy through its gentle lymphatic stimulating action with regular application. Calendula infused oil encapsulates the warming and healing qualities of peak summer sun, making it an ideal oil to have on hand whenever when warmth and solar energy is appropriate. Calendula is often considered the sun in flower form, and is a perfect oil to make around the summer solstice.

Many people misunderstand how to make herbal oils, making them in ways that result in lackluster oil that is not as potent as it could be. By coming to this workshop, you’ll learn how to make a high quality luscious calendula oil, as well as its therapeutic properties. You’ll learn my refined techniques for oil crafting as you spend ample time with this special flower, including tips and suggestions that I’ve picked up over years of making my own oils and applying them effectively to clients, myself, and loved ones like.

It’s the perfect time of the year to come together with others to craft herbal remedies with our local herbal bounty. Spending time with plants and making simple and effective remedies with our hands can be an incredibly grounding and healing experience. I’m truly looking forward to supporting you to stock your home apothecary with healing remedies during this workshop series.

• Learn the basic healing properties and beneficial uses of calendula oil

Calendula Infused Oil Crafting workshop review:

I love working with plants and I was excited to learn more about calendula and the process of making infused oils. I’ve never made my own oil before. I was a complete novice! 

During the workshop I learned about calendula’s properties, the steps needed to create calendula oil, and good uses for the oil. I loved the sense of community. Everyone was friendly and eager to learn, and the environment made me feel very welcome. Elizabeth was a super knowledgeable and kind instructor.

This is a great class if you’re curious about infused oils, the properties of medicinal plants, or building community with folks who love plants.
