Sunday 10am: The Ritual Art of Botanical Bathing with Mindy Green

$50.00

Botanical bathing is one of the oldest and most intimate ways humans have worked with plants for healing, renewal, and ritual. Long before modern spas, people infused water with herbs, flowers, resins, and aromatic oils to cleanse the body, soothe the spirit, and mark moments of transition.

In this immersive workshop, we will explore botanical bathing as both a practical self-care practice and a meaningful ritual. Together, we’ll learn about a selection of herbs and essential oils traditionally used for relaxation, protection, purification, and emotional balance, and how to work with them safely and intentionally. We’ll discuss simple methods for creating herbal bath infusions, sachets, and aromatic blends, as well as how to shape a bathing experience into a personal ritual rather than a rushed routine.

Participants will be guided through the symbolism of water, scent, and touch, and how bathing can become a quiet act of restoration, reflection, and renewal. Each attendee will create a custom botanical bath blend to take home, crafted with intention and aligned with their own needs.

This class is ideal for anyone drawn to herbalism, ritual, slow living, and sensory plant magic. No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided.
