Saturday, May 20th
from 3pm - 4:30pm
at The Center SF.
Get Your Spot!

Tending to your skin is an act of self love. There are so many wonderful herbs and plants that can support your skin’s overall radiance, and many of us have lost this knowledge in our modern world. It can be so overwhelming and frustrating to even know what to do to support your skin’s health, and where to begin. So many of the products out today are expensive, and full of ingredients that are not sustainable for the earth. The skin is our largest organ, and one of my herbal teachers said : “if you cannot put it in your mouth, don’t put it on your skin.”

This class will be an exploration of the incredible herbs, plants and flowers that can support the skin - both on your face, and body. And we’ll also talk about different at home rituals that you can do to help your skin find its natural clarity, radiance and glow! You will even learn about different herbs that you can eat or drink to help your skin naturally.

You will also be able to sample some powerful handmade herbal body oils, skin healing salves, facial and body creams, and much more. Each participant will receive recipes for how to make each of the products at home if you choose, or resources to buy the offerings and support a local herbalist.

. . .

These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins at The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health) and in future classes we’ll talk about even more wellness remedies and urban foraging!

NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or - working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.

She has been in devotion to earth wisdom, the cycles of the moon and the seasons since 2012. She loves to create, to cook and share that magic with others!

Crystal’s intention is to awaken our consciousness toward the radical practice of attuning your life and the flows of your creativity to the seasons of the year, the cycles of the moon and the wisdom found in the everyday. She is a lover of the plant realm, being outdoors and engaging in sacred rituals.
