Beauty, Blessing & Botanicals
In the beginning of time, women gathered.
They pressed the oils and steeped the tinctures. They made what went on the skin, what burned in the doorway, what was carried to the temple and what was kept for the home. Beauty, household, and altar from the same pair of hands, and the same table full of women who never once did it alone.
On Saturday, the first of August, we gathered to remember, to create, and to connect: a curated evening for those who feel a calling toward intention. For those who remember being a priestess, or a witch, or a healer, or whatever word your people once used for humans gathering to connect, to learn, to grow, and to create something together.
No one needed to know anything about herbs, or believe anything in particular. Only to be curious, and hungry.
Everyone came as they were, stayed until the candles were low, and everything they made went home with them.
Make something to take the magic home
Set your intention. Design your sigil. Align with what you're calling in.
Choose ingredients. Explore herbs, oils, plant allies & crystals that inspire you.
Return to your seat. Blend, create & build with the people around you.
From heart to heart
Soup, salad, warm bread and butter, shared family style, halfway through the night. We gather around the table for a nourishing meal, herbal wisdom & meaningful conversation.
What the guests took home
“Such amazing women, and an amazing magical evening with Beauty, Blessings, and Botanicals!! I have met so many lovely new friends recently, it's been so meaningful! Putting together personal concoctions with intention, while sharing some vulnerable stories, giving support and receiving support, is something really special! Thanks for the lovely memories and magic!!”
“I have been wishing for a connection like this for a long time. It was a beautiful evening. Very educational. Julie and Mindy are special spirits put on this Earth to share their wisdom and their vulnerability. I feel honored to be a part of this and I hope that everyone in the community comes out and it grows more and more. It's so needed in this world right now. Thank you for the amazing ladies that hosted and shared. It lifted my heart.”

A small apothecary you can carry
Made by hand, five pieces to a box, one for each of the elements: fire, air, water, earth, and spirit. Something to scrub with. Something to spray. Something to burn. Something to seal. Something to honor what you are calling in: protection, or love, or the thing you have not said out loud yet.
Which five are yours is the part we are not going to tell you.
This is the box for the witch on the go. For the woman whose practice has to fit in a purse, a glovebox, a desk drawer, a carry-on, so that the intention you set at the long table does not stay at the long table. Each one is assembled by hand, with care, in a small batch for this gathering only.
