Though the tried and true folk method is incredibly effective and accessible, working with the science and spirit of herbs can make your extracts even more powerful. 

Herbalist Amanda Verkest, Oak Moon Botanicals, will guide you through the basics of chemical constituents and the energetics of medicinal plants in an easy-to-understand and approachable way. We will then use this information to determine the best ratios and types of menstruums (vinegar, alcohol, water, oil, etc.) to make 3 different extracts together. 

We will make extracts from herbs provided by the instructor and from wild herbs, harvested from the farm during class.

You will leave the class with your own jars of these extracts and handouts of all the information covered so you can feel empowered to continue making potent medicines at home and beyond!

Snacks and tea will be offered during this class.

***We are offering 2 scholarship spots for this class based on need. Please contact Cumberland Folk School if you are interested in learning but feel the cost makes the class inaccessible for you.
