Location: Penzance
In this workshop we will learn the art of making medicinal syrup / elixir and explore an Autumn medicine through an immersive sensory plant study. Syrups have been used for millions of years combining water based plant extract (decoction) and sugar (we will be using honey). Syrups are delicious way to incorporate the fruiting gifts of Autumn. We will be making a berry syrup for your to add to your home herbal first aid kit (and studying a related herb through sensory and intuitive practices)!
There is no need for prior experience, though both seasoned home herbalists and professionals will gain new skills through Ruths teachings. Bring a small 50 – 100ml sterilised container (bottle or jar), notepad and pen.
These sessions will take place at Archie Browns, Bread St, Penzance starting at 1.30pm and finishing by 3.30pm.
