Potions
Celebrate spooky season with Potions at Mostly Good Studios! In this workshop, we will stir, sip, and create a little magic of our own as we craft potions to take home. We will begin with a short, grounding meditation to check in with our energy and discover whether we want our potions to call in, clear out or a little bit of both. You'll learn the energetic meanings and practical uses of easy-to-find potion ingredients (many can be found at the grocery store!) like herbs, oils and crystals. Then, we’ll make three potions together: a nourishing Body Oil, a magical Aura Mist and a Cleansing Potion. Everyone will leave with three handmade potions and the confidence to continue making their own magic at home!
