Hands-on Folk Herbalism: Crafting Your Own Dandelion Tincture

Dandelion has been celebrated for centuries as a powerful medicinal plant, offering support for detoxification, digestion, and overall well-being. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create your very own dandelion tincture using traditional, time-honored methods. I will cover:

✨ Medicinal & Energetic Benefits of Dandelion

More than just a common weed, dandelion is a deeply nourishing herb that supports overall health. Some of its key benefits include:

🌿 Liver Support & Detoxification – Helps cleanse and support liver function, aiding the body's natural detox process.
 🌿 Digestive Aid – Stimulates digestion, supports gut health, and promotes nutrient absorption.
 🌿 Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant-Rich – Reduces inflammation and provides essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals such as iron and calcium.
 🌿 Blood Sugar Balance – Supports healthy blood sugar levels and may improve insulin sensitivity.

Beyond its physical benefits, dandelion is also known for its energetic properties—symbolizing resilience, transformation, and the ability to thrive in any environment.

🌼 Plant Spirit Ceremony: Deepening Your Connection

This gathering will include a Plant Spirit Ceremony to honor the sacred wisdom of dandelion. Through guided meditation, breathwork, and intention-setting rituals, you will attune yourself to the subtle energy of this plant and listen to the messages it has for you.
