“The resource material book is amazing. The workshop was laid out and presented by Monika in a very interesting, logical and engaging way. The time frame was perfect for me learning this part of medicine making. I am blessed with a lifelong relationship with medicinal herbs. I have grown, collected and prepared my own teas, tinctures and salves but I was intimidated to make my own creams even after reading and watching how to videos of well known methods. Something really clicked for me in Monika’s class, the layout and time frame was perfect. The way she explains the science and the hands on engaging practice we all got in the class has given me the confidence to build my own recipes and make my own medicinal herbal creams at home.”
