Botanical Blends for Skin & Soul

---

Discover the beauty and wellbeing benefits of fragrant plants in this immersive, hands-on workshop combining herbal craft, aromatherapy and wellbeing.
Perfect for anyone curious about the power of scent and botanicals, the session explores how dried aromatic herbs and pure essential oils can be blended into simple, nurturing products for everyday self-care.
 
During this practical and sensory workshop, you will:

• Explore a curated selection of fragrant plants, learning their traditional uses, aromatherapy benefits, and how to work with them safely.
• Create your own herbal-infused oil, using dried botanicals chosen for their skincare and aromatic properties.
• Blend a personalised herbal mix suitable for facial steams, bath infusions, salts, or scrubs.
• Craft a final essential oil product designed to support your mood and wellbeing.
• As we smell, blend and create, you’ll gain confidence in choosing botanicals for personal wellbeing and skincare, pairing herbs with essential oils, and designing your own fragrant rituals at home.

You’ll leave with three natural, beautifully scented products, along with recipes and guidance to continue experimenting with aromatherapy and plant-based skincare at home.
