Welcome to MXED GREENS' 2023 Medicine Making 101 Workshop Series!
*Tinctures workshop is sold out! we cap at 10 for space considerations. If you'd like to be added to a waitlist if there's cancellations, please email us mxedgreens @ gmail . com *
Last year, we hosted a medicine making crash course at Just Roots called "Never Too Many Mason Jars," and this year we're expanding the idea to create a full workshop series to learn practical herbalism skills. All levels of experience are welcome!
Throughout the year, you'll get to dive in to a different herbal medicine preparation with us. All materials are provided, and you'll get to take home the medicine you make each time. At the start of each month, we'll announce the date and open registration for that month's workshop. All experience levels welcome, no need to have attended the previous month's 101 workshops to attend!
