About this Event
As winter loosens its grip and the earth begins to awaken, so too must our bodies transition from the slow, heavy months of cold into the vibrant renewal of spring. This transformational workshop is designed for those who seek to clear stagnation, strengthen immunity, and harmonize with the rhythms of nature—so they can move into the season with clarity, energy, and resilience.
In this hands-on, immersive experience, you will explore the profound physiological shifts that occur as we emerge from winter’s stillness. You will discover the powerful role that herbs, food, and movement play in awakening the lymphatic system, rejuvenating tissues, fortifying the immune system, and naturally preventing spring allergies before they even begin.
🍃 What You’ll Learn & Experience:
- Herbal Allies for Seasonal Renewal: Learn about a curated selection of herbs that support detoxification, immune balance, and natural antihistamine production.
- Tasting & Experiencing Herbal Remedies: Sip teas, sample tinctures, and explore the diverse forms of botanical medicine that empower your body’s ability to cleanse and strengthen itself.
- Mini Plant Walk & Sensory Herbal Exploration: Step outside to identify seasonal medicinal plants and deepen your connection to nature’s Ph*rm*cy.
- The Science of Transition: Understand how the body processes seasonal change, and learn the foods, movements, and daily rituals that best support a vibrant, allergy-free spring.
- Take-Home Resources: Receive a full worksheet with all the material covered in class, detailed recipes, and DIY medicine-making tips so you can confidently integrate herbal wisdom into your daily life.
- A small inventory of Appalachian Alchemy handcrafted herbal products, including tinctures, teas, salves, syrups, and skincare will be available for purchase after the class. These products will be aligned with the current Spring season. For special orders, reach out to [email protected].
🌿 This is more than a class; it’s an invitation to reclaim your body’s natural rhythm and resilience—to step into spring feeling clear, strong, and deeply nourished.
