We will rediscover how to make your own herbal teas from scratch. From identifying the edible and medicinal plant ingredients growing around us like weeds, to creating blends for relaxation, digestive support and treating colds and flu to hormone balancing. If you’ve ever made a cup of tea with a teabag then you’ve made an herbal infusion ;) Teabags are certainly convenient, but these days contain unexpected harmful chemicals and the omnipresent micro and nanoplastics. Their longterm health and environmental effects are starting to be researched and early alarm bells are ringing. Furthermore, the forever chemical PFAS which is an endocrine disruptor has also been isolated in tea bags. The simplest approach is to switch from pre-packaged tea bags to loose-leaf tea. Loose tea eliminates the need for the treated paper or synthetic mesh materials that may contain PFAS.   Buying herbs in bulk, or growing and gathering your own, is also substantially cheaper and 'cleaner' than purchasing teabags and commercial loose tea leaves. Discover the joy and creativity of working with plant ingredients and herbs to create your very own tea blends to amplify your daily tea drinking ritual. It will be an uplifting and educational afternoon with a warm and like minded community focussed on self care and natural living.  Did you know that the act of drinking tea stimulates our Vagus nerve?  "Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
