Saturday, November 16th

9am-1pm

Experience a nourishing half-day retreat designed to rejuvenate your body and spirit through the transformative power of plant spirit medicine. Led by herbalist Ashley Elenbaas, this workshop invites you to explore the four elements - earth, water, fire, and air - and discover how they manifest within you. Through the gentle practice of tasting, you will connect with five key plants known for their ability to foster inner transformation and healing. 

Throughout the workshop, you'll be guided through periods of rest and reflection enhanced by warm herbal teas, soothing body oil samples, and calming meditations. This restorative atmosphere will support you in delving into your own elemental constitution, and creative exercises like art and journaling will deepen your connection with the plant spirits. Ashley will draw on her 15 years of clinical experience to help you craft a customized wellness plan that aligns with your unique needs. You will receive handouts, a notebook, everything needed to make your own custom blend, and sample herbal tinctures.

Whether you are seeking personal restoration or a deeper bond with nature, this half-day retreat offers a peaceful space to reconnect with yourself and the plants that are essential to your healing journey.

Early bird pricing: $225/person  

$285 after November 1st
