Well, it’s still February but spring is right around the corner here somewhere (right?), which means we’re back out there with our green allies.

Spring is all about waking up and re-invigorating our skills, and our rhythm. Each spring we offer classes that focus on digestion, liver function and the essential ecosystem that keeps us strong throughout the year. It’s not so much a spring cleanse as a spring reset into connection.

We’re starting off gently with some medicine making basics: teas and infusions. These are simple preparations with rich and complex benefits. Water based preparations can be simple pleasures, intentional acts of meditation and attention, they can be potent remedies and tasty delights. It all depends on our intention, and having fun with connection, and chemistry.

Come join us and check out the website for our spring classes ❤️.

Glycerites are herbal extracts made with vegetable glycerin. Glycerites are tasty, effective, and offer a wonderful alternative for folks who would like to make or take herbal tinctures but want to avoid alcohol.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll dive into how and why glycerites work, exactly how to make them, and which herbs will work best for this preparation. Everyone will go home with a small bottle of herbal glycerite made during class!

We are offering lots of medicine making workshops these days, part of our mission at Vulgaris Herbs is to support the at-home herbalist. What does that mean? It’s not all about the products and supplies, but also about the skills: instilling competence and confidence in everything we chose to make at home.

We’ve got so many wonderful experienced herbalists teaching at the shop this year. Many of you already know but if you don’t we highly encourage you to take a class with her. Ali has years of “dirt time” crafting her own medicine and sharing it with others. This is the biggest gift we can offer as medicine makers: teaching from experience. ☺️

Herbal infused oils and salves are a great way to bring the medicine of plants into your life. They can support skin and tissue healing, help with pain management, skin conditions and so much more!

Tinctures are one of the most effective herbal remedies. They can be simple and gentle, complex and potent, and everything in between. They are wonderful ways to preserve our seasonal remedies, easy to reach for and to use whenever we are in need of a boost. Most importantly, most herbs can be made into tinctures. This allows us to have a huge breadth of practical applications such as supporting our long term health, promoting healing and recovering from trauma and helping us deal with accute situations such as infections, anxiety, tension and pain.

In this class we are going to offer an in-depth look at tincture making, how to navigate commercial products, and how to work with various extractions, alcohols, ratios and more!

This class is for beginners and intermediate herbal enthusiasts! See you soon!
