Make Your Own Healing, Sensual Oils and Ointments

Enjoy moisturizing - or cuddling - with healing and sensual oils. Learn how to grind petals into natural nourishing colourants, infuse dried marigold flowers into unsurpassed healing calendula infused oil and create exquisite meditative and aphrodisiac oils from infused resins. You'll learn how to obtain, harvest and infuse flowers, petals and resins.

In the morning, we'll create infused herbal oils from calendula and frankincense. You'll come away with two 100 ml bottles of healing or sensual oil you have blended yourself.

In the afternoon, we'll discuss the ancient art and science of making salves, explore traditional ingredients and how they "work", then you'll make a custom lip balm, a baby-safe balm for wounded, rashy, eczemic and blistered skin, plus an anti ageing salve to take home.
