About this Event

Join us for an immersive, hands-on salve-making workshop, where we will walk the path of our ancestors—learning not just the how, but the why behind these healing traditions.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Learn to safely identify two powerful medicinal plants and understand their healing properties.
  • Discover how to honourably harvest and process these herbs in a way that respects both the plant and the land.
  • Follow the full journey from plant identification to infused oil to finished salve, just as it has been done for generations.

What You’ll Take Home:
✔️ Your own handcrafted salve, made with intention and care.
✔️ A jar of herb-infused oil, so you can create more salves at home.
✔️ The confidence and knowledge to begin your own herbal medicine making journey.

About Monica:

"My late great-grandmother was the keeper of secrets. She held tightly to the knowledge of our ancestors, never speaking of the past or sharing the old ways. As she was passing, she gathered our family around and asked for an eagle feather—a moment that stirred something deep within me. I knew then that it was my calling to seek out the wisdom she never spoke of, to reconnect with the healing power of the plants gifted to us, and to ensure this knowledge is never lost again.

Now, it is my honour and joy to share what I have learned, to teach, and to pass on the ways of traditional plant medicine to anyone with a heart open to receiving it."
