    Lye Soap Making class w/ Deb Maslowski
    Join us as we make soap from scratch like your great-grandma may have done. You will be safely working with lye and oils, the process to begin all soap. You will get to customize the herbs and aromas you add to your soap bars!
    Deb started her soap and spa product making journey in 1990, in Hugo, Minnesota. She learned how to make soap by reading books, trial & error, and teaching at local colleges. In 2004, she moved to NC, learning from Mimi Hernandez, CoreyPine Shane, Marc Williams, and other area herbalists. Deb runs the Owl’s Nest cafe at Warren Wilson, but you can find her teaching at abtech.edu. In her spare time, she lives on a small farm with her sister Karyn and animals, loves hiking in the woods, and collecting rocks.

     

    Gutsy: An Herbal Gut Care Class 🌿

    All Healing Begins in the Gut.

    Your gut is the root of all wellness and all dis-ease. It's where energy comes from, where immunity is built, and where a thriving microbiome needs a healthy home to grow. Yet how often do we actually give it love?

    In this class, you'll gain deep insight into herbal allies that support and nourish the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and colon. You'll learn how these plants work, when to use them, and how to build a routine that keeps your gut, and you, feeling happy and strong through fall and winter.

    Walk away with the knowledge and confidence to trust your gut, literally. Plus, you'll leave with a delicious custom tea, made by you, for you.

    Get gutsy this season.

    Christina is a certified clinical herbalist and womb health practitioner with over 20 years of experience bridging the science and spirit to help people regenerate their digestion, pelvic health and whole body vitality. She is the creator of Femme Botanica, a virtual herbal medicine studio and women’s wellness community.

    Her passion for plants was ignited while working as a wilderness guide when she drank her first cup of sassafras root tea. She sipped on this potent nectar and has never looked back! Her motivation for learning about plants as medicine came about from experiencing severe, life disrupting digestive problems that no doctor was able to help her solve. She knew that healing with the support of plants was possible and began her herbal training to find out exactly how. 

    Christina has studied vitalist herbalism, microbiome clinical science, integrative women’s health, Mayan womb healing; and worked at renowned functional medicine clinics and beloved local apothecaries. She has taught at herbal gatherings, and been a guest writer on popular publications such as the Birth Institute, Cycles Journal, and Matriarch Rising.
