Description

Body oiling gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "skin deep". With its profound effects on the lymphatic, circulatory, and nervous systems, this luxurious practice of self-love allows us to move past cultural stigmas around skin and oil and into a state of grounded nourishment. We will walk through the process of making herbal oil, giving some tricks of the trade to ensure long-lasting and medicinally potent oil, and talking about the different herbs and their actions in oil form. We'll also dive into uses and applications of body oil (both internal and external) and indulge in some oiling together in the comfort of this private home. Come unwind in good company.. Please bring a small towel and wear clothes you don't mind getting oily. Everyone will go home with body oil to enjoy later! ************************************************** Sydney and Cathryn are both passionate and longtime gatherers of wild food and medicine. They have also served on the board of directors for the Western Montana Mycological Association for the last five years, planning events, teaching a wide variety of mushroom classes and keeping the fungal community engaged and connected. They both have experience in herbal medicine and agriculture (they will teach you about all the wonderful “weeds” around town), and a deep love of this land and all the plants living in their midst. They are humbled and delighted to be two of many on a long strand of plant-loving humans sharing their experience and knowledge with others.
