Example workshop: Meet Elder and Lavender: Make elderberry elixir, a reliable immune tonic and staple of any herbal medicine cabinet, alongside lavender-infused honey, a floral sweetener perfect for tea or taken by the spoonful for calm. You leave with a jar of each and the skills to make both at home. ![Onion, garlic, ginger root and fresh herbs on a cutting board](https://www.vivianraelambert.com/media/fire-cider-workshop-a7fbb1.jpg) ### Fire Cider A warming folk remedy and cold and flu season staple, made from raw apple cider vinegar infused with fresh garlic, ginger root, turmeric, onion, thyme, and raw honey. You will also cover ethical plant harvesting while you work. ![Bundles of dried herbs tied with white twine, one tucked with orange and white dried flowers, on a wooden table](https://www.vivianraelambert.com/media/herb-bundles-0ab1dc.jpg) ### Herb Bundles Learn ethical harvesting practices while crafting bundles from fresh, locally grown plants and incense from dried herbs. All materials are provided: fresh and dried plants, scissors, and twine. You are welcome to bring plants of your own. ![Glass jar of calendula flowers steeping in oil beside a bundle of dried flowers and leaves](https://www.vivianraelambert.com/media/infused-oils-73cecd.jpg) ### Medicinal Topical Oils Learn to make infused oils with plants from local gardens and wild spaces. Meet Calendula, who traditionally supports the skin, the lymph, and the healing of small wounds; Ponderosa Pine, who warms the chest, opens the breath, and eases muscle tension; and Chaparral, the creosote bush, who carries the scent of desert rain and soothes bug bites, scrapes, and dry, cracked skin. These oils are the foundation for countless salves and body care products, a skill that compounds over time. ![Three bars of pale homemade soap flecked with orange petals](https://www.vivianraelambert.com/media/homemade-soap-3869f4.jpg) ### Body Care Create your own personal care products with the cleanest ingredients: bar soap, deodorant, lip balm, body butters, and healing salves. Learn what goes into what you use daily and take control of what touches your skin. ## Plant Magic Box Can't make it to a workshop? Bring the plants to you. Each month, you receive a deep dive into one plant ally, a detailed handout covering its gifts and history, plus two small-batch products made from that plant: a tea, salve, infused oil or flower essence. $60 per month · Shipping included [Learn More](https://www.vivianraelambert.com/plant-magic/) ## Bring a Workshop to Your Community These workshops are available for private groups and community spaces.
