The Art of Herbal Teas: Embody the Sweetness of Nature from the Abundance of Right Here (In-Person Program)
September 13 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm EDT
Come slow down and reconnect with the abundance and healing of the natural world through the sensory and intuitive art of Herbal Tea making. Join herbalist Jenny Ehrhardt, aka “The Herb Lady,” as she shares her wisdom, experience, and creative presence once again in this new offering at the Well.
In this experiential workshop, we will spend time with ten locally grown and respectfully gathered herbs, connecting with each one through taste, touch, smell, and energetics. Rather than simply learning about plants, we will sit and be with them — noticing what sings to each of us and maybe what does not. Jenny loves to listen to what each person senses and feels about a plant before sharing its specific uses. You may be surprised to discover how much you already intuitively know about the plants that call to you!
Together, we will explore the medicinal qualities and traditional uses of herbs such as Lavender, Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena, Tulsi/Holy Basil, Hibiscus, Mimosa/Rose, Mugwort, Calendula, Chamomile, and Lemongrass. (The selection of herbs is subject to change.)
With Jenny’s guidance and inspiration, each participant will create 3, 8 ounce calming herbal tea blends. Jenny will also demonstrate how to brew and strain loose tea and provide a 1-quart jar to take home for brewing. Your personal tea blends become an invitation to continue the practice at home—to pause, sip, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and the living world around you.
Come sit with the plants. Touch them. Smell them. Feel them. Listen to what they have to offer to you. Creating an herbal blend is an art that you will embody whenever you take the time to sip and connect with the spirit of the herbs you selected, as well as with the Earth and yourself.

FACILITATOR: Jenny Ehrhardt
FACILITATOR BIO:
Over the last 35 years my heart has been engaged with plants of all kinds. Even as a child we always had a huge garden. We grew everything. As my Dad shifted to loving roses and all flowers, I know that just stayed with me.
I feel so honored and humbled to work with the plants. I worked for a small flower farmer, a landscaping company, and a service farm where everything we grew went directly to the Maryland Food Bank and other kitchens throughout Baltimore. I then worked for a Naturopathic Doctor and began to learn how to process plants into medicine and honestly have not looked back. For 15 years I worked at farmers markets and festivals selling products that I created for 10 of those years. I had my very own Apothecary in Hampden, serving my community with affordable herbal remedies and also offering a safe space for people to gather and learn.
It is very important to me to meet people where they are on this herbal plant walk. It is a remembering, an awakening to what our bodies and hearts already know if we listen closely to ourselves and keep it very simple. Those earlier years were very full and somewhat hectic. Today I find I am so grateful to be able to slow down and watch the wonder on people’s faces when they start to remember plants and the memories that begin to rise up.
