Herbs for Winter

A four week hands-on journey into rest, resilience, and herbal nourishment.

As the days grow shorter and the cold settles in, winter invites us to slow down and come home to ourselves. In this course, we’ll explore how to stay grounded, nourished, and supported through the season using herbs, ritual, and simple, heartfelt practices.

🌿 Herbs for Warmth, Strength & Seasonal Support

You’ll be introduced to a collection of winter-loving plant allies, from roots and berries to aromatic evergreens, that have traditionally been used to support wellness, vitality, and deep nourishment during the coldest time of year.

🍃 Getting to Know the Herbs of Winter

Each week, we’ll explore the energetics, personality, and traditional uses of the herbs we’re working with. Through taste, touch, and story, we’ll build relationships with plants like elderberry, Oregon root grape, rosehips, ginger, and others that bring comfort and resilience when we need it most.

🍃 Hands-On Herbal Medicine Making

Gathering together each week, we’ll craft a variety of winter remedies to carry you through the season. You’ll take home:

• Vapour bath bombs for steamy soaks
• Immune tincture filled with berry, herbs & roots 
• Nourishing winter teas & vitamin C-rich infusions
• Syrups, oxymels & kitchen remedies
• Warming salves for cold-weather comfort
• Spiced sipping syrups and a soothing herbal hot chocolate blend

Winter Rest & Ritual

We’ll explore herbal support for rest, rhythm, and reflection, looking at how we can honour winter’s quiet pace and create simple rituals that bring comfort, connection, and care into daily life.

What’s Included Each Week:

As with all of our seasonal offerings, this is more than a class. It’s a space to reconnect, refill your cup, and deepen your relationship with the plants and the season.
