Beltane Spring Herbal & Ceramics Workshop
The Wildling Studio Wiltshire
Sunday 5th May, 10am – 5pm
You are invited to a day of nature connection, herbal remedy making, botanical ceramics and feasting.
In collaboration with medical herbalist Helen Rideout and Jade’s Green Kitchen, Wildling Studio invites you to a day of nature connection working with herbal medicines and creating botanical ceramics.
Spring is a time of renewal and growth, but also the first time in months that we can, thanks to the warmth of the season, relax and soften into the earth. During our Beltane Spring workshop we will work with these two ideas – that of stretching to new possibilities with the Spring detoxifying and fertile energy, and the contrary but complementary movement of relaxing: calming the nervous system through letting go of the tension and restriction we have held in our bodies over winter time.
We will make herbal preparations to take home, as well as enjoy a relaxing ceramic workshop, using natural treasures foraged from the land. This alchemy of herbal medicine and soothing traditional craft work will leave you feeling both energised and relaxed.
NATURAL REMEDIES
Spring Tonic workshop
This session will focus on working with spring tonic herbs that are growing with great vibrancy around us at this time. We will gather herbs and from them make a Spring tonic vinegar, which will harness the powerful detoxifying and nutritious properties of the spring herbs. We will also make a hawthorn blossom heart tonic to support your emotional healing and your physical heart.
Tea Blending Workshop
Join Helen for a guided herb walk as we open up to dialogue with the natural world. Helen will support you in identifying plants in nature’s first aid kit, recognising their healing properties and from there creating traditional remedies in our practical sessions.
POTTERY WORKSHOP
Botanical Ceramics
Using natural wild treasures foraged from the Wildling Studio land, we will slowly and mindfully create mugs and plates. Wildling potter Sarah Glazier-Hart will gently guide you through traditional hand building techniques, as we find our flow and work with our hands.
Sustainable Plant Based Lunch
Enjoy a seasonal, sustainable lunch prepared by Jade of Jade’s Green Kitchen. Jade is a proud brand ambassador for the vegan lifestyle, spreading the message of sustainability and ethical eating.
