In this 2-day workshop (13 CEs), we will journey together through the past present, and future of herbal medicine and Aromatherapy to create simple but beautiful potions, ferments, and personal care products. All ingredients will be easily sourced and most equipment is readily found in your kitchen (including options for the alternatives for the specialist equipment). The foundations that you will learn will give you the ability to be more creative in your home, kitchen, or workshop and go on to create your own versions of these preparations for home or retail. Working as a conduit for nature we will create plant portals and simple creative touch points through which we can then engage with the herbs around us on a multitude of levels. We will work through some ancient plant extraction methods and show you how to create your own contemporary version of these at home. Alembic distillation (hydrosols & water-based extractions), alcoholic extraction (tinctures & multi-herb extractions), non-alcoholic extraction, ancient & modern extraction techniques including fermentation techniques (wild vinegars, wild sodas, and lacto-fermentation preservation techniques), how to safely integrate essential oils and CO2 extracts into your creative practices, botanical drinks (how to integrate the practices covered to create a range of dynamic drinks, botanical personal & home care (how to create a range of natural topicals, scents, and personal care products to enrich and care for your home), and how you then might wish to create a range of products for retail and how to bring this to life.Brief bio: Michael Isted is a world-leading herbalist, nutritionist, aromatherapist, and expert on botanical drinks and plant alchemy.
