We have a lot going on in the coming months.

Goat's Milk Soap Class with Linda: February 22, 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. $45 plus $10 material fee. Cash. Homemade soap hasn't been stripped of its emollient ingredients like commercial soaps, making it best for the skin! It also makes the best gift! Everyone loves receiving homemade soap! A Luxury most won't splurge on. It's practical, functional, and guaranteed not to end up in the closet! Linda will teach you all the hacks and short cuts to making your own soap. She will cover how to work with lye safely and share her decades of experience on the do's and don'ts of soap making, sparing you the mistakes she's learned along the way.

During this demonstration participants will learn about the special handling and necessary care when working with goat's milk. Students will learn the challenges specific to goat's milk and how to work with those challenges to make beautiful soap!

Linda will cover different types of molds and their limitations, how to get the best results from your colorants, the negative chemical reactions caused by fragrances, the curing process, troubleshooting, and more! This workshop will provide all the information necessary to make soap safely and successfully. All participants receive a sample of soap made during the demonstration to take home and enjoy!

Aromatherapy Level 1 with Linda: March 1, 8, 22, and 29. $550 plus $50 material fee. Cash ($250 on registration). 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. This certification course was created as an introduction to aromatherapy and the blending of essential oils. The educational goals for this certification program are to instill a strong foundation in the art of blending essential oils, learn the many ways essential oils can be used to heal body, mind, and spirit, and to educate your sense of smell, enabling clear distinction between the myriad of oil lines and their varying levels of quality. Since poor quality oils are neurotoxins it is imperative we use practitioner grade oils if we hope to attain health.

Each class is divided into two parts: The first half of each class is dedicated towards the science and applications pertaining to the body systems covered that day. We will discuss the common ailments of these systems and the essential oils helpful for those ailments. The second half of each class focuses on consultations, blending, and working with the oils. Participants gain consultation skills by performing consultations and creating blends for others to use. Learning close listening skills allows us to better understand others, and their problems. With this information we can target our blends to address the problems, not just the symptoms. It is my belief that if only the symptoms are treated, the problems will persist. In this class you will learn how to make successful blends, identify the challenges in your blends, and troubleshoot imbalances.

We cover aphrodisiacs, and make products in class that enhance and strengthen the reproductive system. We also create natural cosmetics to protect and nourish the skin (our largest organ). The cosmetic industry uses over 10,000 carcinogens, making it important to learn how to create our own safe and natural products. Everyone learns to make lotions, bath salts, and body powders from scratch. These are then enhanced by customized blends, making them not only exclusive, but also tailored to individual's needs. We will cover the Olfactory system, its mysteries, and how we can work with it to reduce stress, anxiety, and find the quiet within the storms of life. Due to the fact that aroma can bypass the cerebrum (where fear and anxiety are stored), it can provide instant relief from stress, and panic attacks. Students will work together to set up the lock and key response within the brain, while using customized blends to provide solace.

The material fee for this course covers all bottles, jars and oils used during the class, as well as all handouts, aphrodisiac ingredients, powder and bath salt bases. For more information go to our website.

An Introduction to the bookA Course on Miracles with Rob: February 28, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.FREE. This introduction will give you the basic ideas within the book. It is hopeful that you will purchase the book and continue with a monthly discussion.

Herbal Apprenticeship will begin on March 15. We need two more people for the class to hold. Please call the shop for more info and to register. $900 ($300 on registration). It is a year long course, one Sunday a month.

Stay warm!
