As the days grow shorter and the chaos of the holiday season approaches, our bodies and spirits crave warmth, rest, and nourishment from the inside out. Between travel, gatherings, and the rush of it all, it's easy to feel depleted. This is the exact moment that the wisdom of plant medicine calls us back.
Join Bear Crevier for an afternoon of seasonal herbal wisdom and hands-on tea blending, where you'll learn how you craft your own healing tea blends to support immunity, digestion, relaxation, emotional balance, and other symptoms of cold and flu season through the winter months.
This workshop will guide you through the energetics of herbs, how to match plants to your body's needs, and explore the traditional uses of common roots, flowers, and leaves for seasonal wellness. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of herbal medicine as the first medicine, and a sacred partnership between humans and earth. Plus you'll take home your very own herbal tea blend to sip on!
Together we'll sip, blend, and connect in community creating teas that can nourish through the dark, quieter months and even serve as heartfelt, homemade gifts for loved ones.

You'll learn:
•The foundational energetics of herbs (warming vs. cooling, drying vs. moistening)
•How to blend teas for stress relief, immunity, and sleep
•Simple tips of creating herbal tips this holiday season
•Understand how to support yourself, your friends, and your family through sickness symptoms using herbs

Come tend to your wellbeing the old-fashioned way; with your hands, your senses, and the wisdom of plants.
