What You’ll Explore:

  • Choosing Herbs: Learn how to select herbs based on their unique properties to meet your specific needs.

  • Storing Herbs: Gain expert tips on preserving your herbs to ensure long-lasting potency and effectiveness.

Why Herbal Glycerins?

Herbal glycerins (glycerites) are gentle, sweet, and alcohol-free, making them ideal for all ages and sensitive stomachs. They preserve the potency of herbs while hydrating and supporting the body, particularly the nervous system. Versatile and easy to use, glycerites can be consumed directly, added to teas, or used in cooking, offering a family-friendly alternative to traditional tinctures.

The Benefits of Herbalism:

Herbalism offers a holistic approach to health by addressing the mind, body, and spirit. It emphasizes natural, accessible remedies that support prevention, mental well-being, and sustainability. By learning about herbs, you can take control of your health, connect with nature, and use ancient wisdom to promote wellness in your daily life.

    What a breath of fresh air this retreat was! Nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, it was the escape I needed to reset, recharge, and refill myself up with all the goodness a yoga and hiking retreat has to offer. The house is so charming and Jana threw down on the food, it was delicious! Donna guided us through our spiritual journey and helped us begin to heal from our past. I met 12 amazing ladies from all walks of life who I get to call friends. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to unplug and also a great idea for a girls trip! You won’t regret it!

    The Spring Forward Retreat provided beautiful, cozy accommodations with the perfect blend of yoga and the great outdoors! An amazing weekend spent not only getting to know like minded women but getting to know yourself better as well. It was the absolute best way to kick-off spring and new beginnings!

    Intimate and beautiful retreat. Was able to spend time with 3 great friends while getting to know 9 other wonderful ladies, inclusive of the 2 hosts. Ate healthy, heartily, and deliciously and worked body and mind. All in the breathtaking setting of the mountains and forests of NH. I wouldn’t be averse to next trying paddleboard yoga in Boston!

  • The weekend getaway was very well planned out, especially with a great plan B in place for when the weather didn’t cooperate! The location was central to all activities and the yoga classes were a great way to start and end the day!
