About this Service

Join Sasha Botanica for an herbal summer skincare workshop, Saturday July 19th from 2pm-5pm at Heartsong Sanctuary in High Falls NY. Summer is a time of sun, heat, and outdoor adventures—making it the perfect season to nourish and protect the skin with plant medicine. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the art of herbal skincare, focusing on infused oils, soothing balms, and healing salves made with summer’s abundant herbs at Heartsong Sancturary.

Together, we’ll harvest fresh yarrow to distill, creating yarrow hydrosol, a cooling and protective remedy for summer skin. We will also craft a healing salve using herbal-infused oils, learning the foundational skills to make your own plant-based skincare at home.

Each participant will go home with a 2oz spray bottle of freshly distilled yarrow hydrosol and a healing salve, infused with the wisdom of the plants and the collective energy of the group.

Space is limited. Register in advance to reserve your spot!

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, work with our hands, and gather the green together - honoring the gifts of the land and the traditions of herbal folk wisdom.
