Discover & Learn the Power of Native Healing Herbal Balms.

 An interactive workshop from identification through to preparation and use.
Participants are taken into the bush to identify and pick their own plants. We talk about how to pick, when to pick according to moon cycles, advice and guidance on picking, blessings, integrity and honouring papatuanuku, our mother earth. 

This is a hands on practical workshop, exploring the senses - you see the healing balms made, make your own healing balm and lip balm - and of course you get to take them home! We make our products without using chemical or nasty ingredients, its all natural.

The aim of the course is to self empower,
through the process of making your own balms from raw, natural ingredients right through to the finished product.
Participants express a profound sense of achievement in the knowledge that they can create something that  can then be used on themselves and their family to heal naturally and rapidly - ​Secure in the knowledge that they are using only natural and health promoting ingredients
