In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the intimate relationship between land, plant, and skin through the lens of bioregional herbalism. Working with herbs that grow right here in Colorado, including Oregon grape, Siberian elm, goldenrod, grindelia, and other locally rooted allies, we’ll learn how to create simple yet powerful remedies for common skin needs.

Together, we’ll discuss the medicinal actions of these plants and how they have traditionally been used to soothe, protect, and restore the skin. Participants will learn practical skills for preparing topical herbal remedies while also exploring the quieter, more beautiful side of skin care as ritual, relationship, and self-attunement.

This workshop weaves together utility and beauty, offering both grounded herbal knowledge and an invitation to reconnect with the plants of this place. By working with what grows around us, we deepen our understanding of how the land supports the body, and how caring for the skin can become an act of attention, belonging, and respect.

No prior herbal experience is required. Come ready to learn, touch, make, and listen to the plants that call this region home.
