About the Program

Tickets include entry to the Conservatory of Flowers.

Join herbalist and multidisciplinary healer Allie Brown for an herbal crafting workshop, encouraging you to slow down and tend to your own garden. Craft a custom herbal tea infusion and aromatherapy essential oil blend. Experience the synergy of a sound, guided meditation, scent, and summer inspired herbal tea infusions. Learn how to utilize the sacred energetics of scent and herbs to celebrate the vibrant energy of the fall season.

Through hands-on herbal medicine making and guided reflection, you’ll explore the Metal element. In traditional Chinese medicine, fall is connected to the lungs and large intestine. This makes fall a season for tending to grief, inner reflection, and letting go.

We’ll discuss the properties and energetics of herbs such as ginger, cinnamon, and blue butterfly pea—plants known for their ability to warm the body, enhance intuition, soothe the nervous system, and boost immunity. Tea infusions are made from herbs and other plant materials (e.g., flowers, roots, stems, fruit, etc.) and lead to a medicinal benefit for the body. Learn about essential oils—such as bergamot and frankincense—for grounding your body.

Allie will lead a guided meditation and acupressure session with various sound healing instruments. Your oil blend and massaging self-touch will serve as a peaceful salve to an overactive nervous system.
