Session Five: Hydrosols

​​Join us for a series of workshops exploring the craft, art, and heart of healing with herbal medicine. Learn how to build relationships with plants and work with them to make oils, tinctures, salves, oxymels and more!

​​​​Our workshops will end with a sharing circle, where we can sit together and explore our own ancestral and familial connections to herbal healing traditions. The sharing circle provides a unique opportunity to learn and build community with like-minded neighbors.

​​​​In our fifth session we will focus on creating hydrosols. These are aromatic waters made by distilling herbs - you've likely encountered them before in things like rose water and witch hazel extract. We might even try making some rose water! Future session dates and subjects will be announced soon!

​​​​These workshops will be led by Sebastian Bouknight, who has been a community-taught student of herbal medicine for 7 years, completed a 4-month herbalism course with Raeflower Holistics and is in the process of a 10-month Italian Folk medicine course with Liza Fazio/The Root Circle.

​​​​Our goal is to make this workshop accessible to all. No one will be turned away due to financial restrictions. However, if you are able, we would appreciate donations toward the higher end of our flexible scale which make this workshop—and future workshops—possible. $15 funds the materials needed for each person per class. $25 will fund your materials and those of a neighbor! :) Anything beyond that will put towards future classes.

​​​​Note: If you are unable to pay or prefer not to pay online, text or call ‪(347) 687-1170‬. Provide us with your name and we will make sure to reserve your spot and/or arrange cash payment at the door.

​Other Note: AFP requires folks to be masked in the space! We will have masks available.
