Womb Wealth, Wisdom, and Wellness: healing, hearing, and feeling ourselves

Womb Wealth, Wisdom, and Wellness is an introduction into using herbal medicine to heal, hear, and feel the womb and tune into our cyclical nature. Through this knowledge share, we will spend time diving into an understanding of the womb and female reproductive organs and their functions, while also considering and looking more closely at 4-6 herbs that support womb health and can help throughout different phases of our cycles.

Elsie will lead a brief demonstration on how to locate and massage the womb. This includes information for menstruating and non-menstruating folks whether menopausal or non-menstruating for other reasons. Please wear loose fitting clothing.

In the latter part of the workshop, each participant will make an herb-infused oil that can be used for womb massages and other topical and / or internal applications. Every participant will take home an herb-infused oil.
