Botanical Alchemy - December 19

December 19, 2026, 5:00-7:00pm

Solstice week, the longest nights, and a table full of herbs. Blend a loose leaf tea that will get you through the dark, or make it a gift and let someone else be warmed by it. Everything you need is here.

Step into the witch's apothecary and discover the art of transforming herbs, flowers, fruits and botanicals into a tea blend that is uniquely your own.

In this hands-on workshop you will explore the traditions, properties and possibilities hidden within the plants we brew. A variety of tea leaves, herbs, flowers and other ingredients will be provided, and we will explore both their herbal uses and traditional spiritual associations, from botanicals associated with calm, comfort and wellness to those connected with protection, intuition, love, prosperity and other intentions.

Choose your herbs. Set your intention. Create your brew.
