The Magic of Herbal Foods: Using Plant Medicine for Deep Nourishment Join Sarah Kate Benjamin of The Kosmic Kitchen for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation at the beautiful Osmosis Day Spa. You’ll begin the day exploring key herbs of the springtime to support whole body health and learn how to infuse them into everyday meals while staying sensible and fun. With a hands-on herbal cooking class, we’ll create a nourishing lunch together while we enjoy the sounds of the creek nearby.
Following the cooking class, you’ll enjoy an afternoon of relaxation, including a group cedar enzyme footbath, your choice of a 70-minute massage or a 65-minute custom facial, peaceful walking meditation through our bamboo forest, and guided meditation in our renowned Japanese garden.
You’ll walk away from the day feeling inspired to connect with the herbs of the season, find fun and easy ways to bring them into your daily rituals, and feel restored from the relaxing treatments Osmosis Day Spa has to offer.
ABOUT SARAH KATE BENJAMIN
Sarah Kate Benjamin is an herbalist, holistic chef, and cookbook author. After being diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome in her early twenties, she relied on nourishing foods and restorative herbs to heal. Since then, she’s been teaching kitchen herbalism and herbal cooking for the past 10 years. Through building relationships with medicinal plants and everyday foods, her approach to herbal cooking is centered in inviting people to see their kitchens as a sanctuary for healing and connecting deeper with themselves. From medicinal broths and comforting porridges to adaptogenic spice blends and digestive supportive dressings, her goal is to make herbal foods accessible and seamless to any kitchen practice.
Her first co-authored book, The Kosmic Kitchen Cookbook, was released in August of 2020. Sarah lives in Sebastopol, California where she teaches online herbal cooking classes, one-on-one consultations, and has a weekly herbal recipe subscription.
