Plantain Soothing Salve 3 Part Workshop

Service Description

A simple three-part workshop rooted in slowing down and working with nature’s rhythm. In this Plantain Soothing Salve Workshop, we move through the full journey of plantain—from living plant to finished healing salve—honouring the timing that nature sets. Because we are working directly with fresh plantain, this workshop is offered in the summer into early fall, once the plants have fully grown and are ready for ethical, abundant harvesting. In our first class, we’ll gather and harvest fresh plantain together, learning how to respectfully identify it and lay it out to dry. In the second class, we’ll take the dried plantain and begin the slow infusion process, allowing it to sit and draw into oil over four weeks. Then we’ll return for our final class to strain, blend, and pour our own small batch of salve. This is hands-on, grounded work that reconnects us to traditional herbal practice and the steady pace of the natural world. Each participant will leave with their own handmade salve labeled with its intention: calm, comfort, and relief — Plantain Soothing Salve.
