Herbalist (and founder of Lab Tonica) Kitty McEntee invites you to step into our cosy candle lit sanctuary (at Green Place Studios in East London) and to embrace the darker slower months of Winter with our new 'Gather & Glow' workshop series. A peaceful opportunity to connect with the healing power of plants and the warmth of a calm, caring community. Expect herbal remedies, aromatherapy, botanical skincare, wildcrafting, herbal drinks & snacks, guided meditations and sound baths.
Kitty has currated six seasonal events that will run monthly on the second Wednesday of each month, 7-9pm.
