Join Kelley Robie, of Horsetail Herbs and learn how to make traditional healthy cold pressed soap! As a beginner group we will be making one large batch of soap in class that will then be divided between each participant. Each person will then be able to add their own essential oils, herbs, spices, and other natural and nourishing ingredients to their individual soap. Each student will go home with soap to cut and age, as well as a handout containing detailed instructions. Recipes and ideas for customizing your own soap will be given. Please bring a quart paperboard milk or soy container for your traditional soap mold and an old towel to wrap your fresh soap in. We will be using lye (sodium hydroxide) in this class and there will be wait time as our soap sets. Ages 13 & older. Students aged 10-12 may register with a caregiver who is also registered for the class.

If you are struggling with chronic acid symptoms, like GERD, heartburn or acid reflux and you're looking for options beyond a lifetime of PPIs and acid reducing drugs, come learn how nutrition and natural remedies can relieve and rebalance your digestion for good. We'll talk about diet strategies and important foods you should eat more of; we'll chat about powerful herbs and natural remedies to consider; and we'll discuss how to identify and address the root cause of acid issues like heartburn and GERD. This class will meet online via Zoom. An invite will be emailed a day or two before the class starts.

Transformational breathwork is a somatic practice that will guide you out of the mind and into the body. Through this simple, yet profound type of breathwork we will gain access to parts of our subconscious not available in our daily lives. This breathwork touches the spiritual, physical and mental realms and allows us to connect deeper to our hearts and emotions. You will be guided through the breath journey using instruments, essential oils, music and movement during this 2-hour transformative session. Throughout the journey you will receive grounding touch to help you ease into your breath. There will be time before and after the breathwork to check in and connect with the group. Wear comfortable clothing and bring an open mind to the possibilities of this beautiful and powerful modality. Learn more about Laura at www.malasmandalas.com.
