"In the folklore of many cultures, herbs were hung in the windows, burned and strewn on the floor to protect families from sickness and to clear the air of bad smells. Before the existence of bacteria and viruses was discovered, illness and disease was blamed on evil spirits, the devil and witchcraft. We now know that the herbs used had medicinal properties. They helped repel vermin that carried disease and clear the rooms of bacteria and mold.
Our grandmothers and great grandmothers used herbs and wild plants in everyday life. Their food was their medicine. When my Dad was young, my Great Grandmother would send him out to gather dandelions in the spring to be cooked with onions, garlic and bacon grease. Dandelions are a primo liver healer and just the thing to "spring clean" a body after heavy foods eaten in the winter. Sage, oregano, parsley, thyme, chives, garlic, rosemary are used in cooking to nourish and heal us. Many of the culinary herbs commonly used are medicinal - anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibacterial. Folks can use herbs and wild plants in extremely easy ways for nourishment and healing."
Suzanne Jordan has presented herbal medicine, wildcrafting, homesteading and body care workshops and personally mentored apprentices for 8 week to full year plus intensive trainings for almost 2 decades.

Soapmaking Workshop
Saturday, February 6th, 2010
12:00 - 3:00 PM
$50
Nothing beats a good handmade bar of soap for mildness,
incredible lather & saying "I love you!" in a Valentine's Day gift basket!!!
Learn to handcraft cold process & hot process soaps in this easy to follow step-by-step instructional workshop! 
Better than spa quality, these soaps are moisturizing, long lasting and lather like a moondog!
Cold Process: Using natural vegetable oils, dried herbs and pure botanical oils, you'll assist in the soapmaking process and gain practical knowledge of herbs and aromatherapy. Cold process soap is the "standard" soapmaking technique used by most soapmakers.
Hot Process: Using the same basic recipes as with the cold process soap, hot process soap is cooked in your oven and ready to use as soon as it comes out of the mold. This is a more advanced soap technique, but still straightforward and do-able. AND the soap is mild and lovely to use!
Take home recipes for both processes as well as soaps made during the workshop.
Both processes are simple to do - you can go home and easily make both types of soap on your own. There will be an opportunity to purchase soapmaking supplies, essential oils & more after the workshop.
