Summer Solace – A Herbal Tea Blending Workshop

As the brightness of summer reaches its peak, many of us find ourselves craving a little stillness—a soft place to land amid the heat and movement of the season. Summer asks us to bloom, but it also reminds us to rest.

That’s where our Summer Solace workshop comes in.

Join Shannon Karpinski, founder of Alchemilla Herbcraft, on Sunday, July 6th at the Woodsman's Realm in Skibbereen, for an intimate herbal workshop designed to bring you back into balance through the ritual of tea.

In this two-hour gathering, we’ll work with a curated collection of cooling, calming herbs—like peppermint, lemon balm, skullcap, and linden—to craft your own custom tea blend. You'll learn the foundational energetics of herbs from a folk herbal perspective and how to blend herbal teas using the simple 3:2:1 method.

Together, we’ll:

• Explore the energetics of herbs
• Learn beginner-friendly tea blending techniques
• Engage the senses by tasting, smelling, and crafting with dried herbs
• Reflect on how to weave tea into our lives as a daily ritual
• Create a custom tea blend and ritual practice to bring home

You’ll leave with:

• A jar of your own handcrafted herbal tea blend
• A beautifully designed Summer Solace booklet full of tea recipes, plant profiles, and ritual guidance
• A sense of spaciousness and seasonal connection
