If a workshop you'd like to do is fully booked ring Box Office (01805 624624) to be added to the waiting list, you might be lucky! This also helps us ascertain the demand for particular workshops when programming.
About Sarah.
Sarah, a Hedgewitch, Healer & initiated Priestess of sacred oils pays homage to the medicine women and men of old who lived at the village edge where the boundaries of society and natural world soften and blur. Hedgewitches are said to "fly the hedge", referring to the way they live with one foot in the physical world and the other in the spiritual realm, focusing their craft on the home and infusing their day to day activities with magickal intention. These medicine makers have a deep knowledge and connection of the plant kingdom, working intuitively with nature, the stars and Mama moon to bring healing and wisdom to the world. As a child Sarah was fascinated with witchcraft and the fae, crafting her own potions in a bucket in the garden with a handful of whatever was growing around her, thirty years later the bucket has been swapped for the Soapery but the essence of creation is the same, handcrafting skincare that harnesses the power of plant medicine, physically, emotionally & spiritually. With years of energy healing experience and initiated in the healing ways of the Magdalene priestesses, Sarah creates handcrafted products that infuse traditional artisan methods with botanical alchemy!

We always have great fun at these workshops and come home with lots of homemade soap.
Really enjoyed the soap making! Really appreciate there being proper decaf coffee (and tea), and the relaxed pace of the workshop. What a lovely venue.
Informative and fun workshop. Relaxed atmosphere. Welcoming hosts. Beautiful venue. Good value for money.
