Distilling Roses

  • Stables Cottage, Rectory Lane Wincanton, England, BA9 8ES United Kingdom (map)

THIS DAY IS NOW FULLY BOOKED

As it’s midsummer we will be picking and distilling rose petals.. however this day is for anyone who wants to learn about distilling all sorts of plants using a copper alembic still and is suitable for those wanting to learn more about the healing properties of hydrosols from beginners to herbal professionals.

We will cover the basic practicalities of distilling, how you might use hydrosols and the specific properties of some of the more commonly used ones.

You will smell and taste various hydrosols and compare their characteristics, their energetic and healing properties.

You will learn what hydrosols can be used for and how to take them for your pleasure and healing as well as the history of distilling plants and why one would distil a plant rather than use a tincture or infusion.

(most people go away from this day confident enough to get distilling at home)

Cost : £120 including lunch, refreshments and a bottle of the hydrosol that we have distilled during the day.

This day is limited to a maximum of 6 people to enable you to get the full benefit from group interactions and to allow space for discussion and questions. My teaching style is informal and friendly.

To book your place or ask any questions please email me. A non refundable deposit of £30 is required to secure your place.

Later Event: July 12
