Create your own Herbal Tea with Solidago Wellness
Fridays, 8/9, and 8/23, 1 PM - 2 PM
Summer, in traditional herbalism, is the season of the heart and connects to the fire element with strong outward, expressive energy. Though this season is full of joy + excitement, it can be easy to overheat mentally and physically. Luckily, herbs can be a wonderful support system to help us stay cool, nourish the body, and strengthen the heart. Together, we will create tea blends to explore various herbs that help cool down the body and indulge the senses. Recipes for teas will be provided to later enjoy at home.
Class is led by Nasya Camacho, a clinical herbalist, dedicated yoga teacher + creative Earth lover, Nasya's heart is in harmonizing with the elements to restore the connection between plants + people. Her goal is to get us back to our roots — with education, community + plant magic. Nasya works one-on-one with committed clients through herbal traditions, movement practices + self-exploration to find the right integrative support for this chapter of their health journey.
