Skin Deep: How Herbs Help Us Understand & Ease Pain

Pain is rarely just physical — it lives in the skin, nerves, Joint, muscles, and the stories our bodies carry.

This gentle, immersive day invites you to explore how plants work across the body’s layers, from surface to source. We’ll meet herbs that soothe inflammation, soften tension, support circulation and calm the nervous system, learning how and when to use them safely at home.

Set within the living landscape of One Garden, this workshop blends plant wisdom, practical teaching and hands-on medicine-making.
