“I really enjoyed the workshop…it further opened my eyes to the potentials of the herb world! I really liked the practical aspect of the workshop. Being able to get hands on and take a finished product home at the end really gave a feeling of accomplishment. The farm was wonderful and I would certainly recommend a future workshop to friends and family.” ~ MG
“I attended the second part of the course learning how to make herbal salves. Jessy really knows her stuff and teaches it well. I enjoyed it so much I can’t wait to make more salves at home.” ~ JM
“The workshop was great for both newcomers to herbs and to seasoned medicine-makers. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of room for questions and various comfort levels. I loved that all of the medicine-making was hands-on, from harvest to final product. I was so proud of the tincture that I went home with because I had helped with the entire process from start to finish. It was a wonderful way to foster an in depth understanding of how everyday plants become powerful medicine.” ~ AE
“I highly recommend the workshop to anyone who is looking to further understand the true meaning of conscious awareness. I learned to pay more attention to the beauty of the small and the ordinary…It encouraged me to continue to learn and find my way to healing and extend this knowledge to my loved ones. Thank you Jessy for being a caring and compassionate person. Your workshop showed how you honour the land you reside in.” ~ MJ
