‘Flora & Fauna Fridays’ AKA Herb Club will be back for the autumn term, from the 21st August! 🌿☀️🐝💤

Bookable by the term, with drop-in spaces added as they become available:
☀️ Thurs P4 - P7 (3:30 - 4:30pm) 2 SPACES
☀️ Fri P4 - P7 (1:30 - 2:30pm) FULLY BOOKED
☀️ Fri P1 - P3 (3 - 4pm) *NEW CLASS*

£55 for the 7 week term.

You’re so welcome here at the Honeybee Sanctuary, where we split the time between the herb garden, bell tent and around the big table getting creative and exploring the wonderful gifts of ‘plants with purpose’.

Each week we look in detail at one plant species, and learn some recipes and remedies with it. As always, we’re guided by nature, the seasons, and local abundance while always looking to give something back in gratitude to nature.

We’ll start at the ‘beginning’ - what is a herb?

Week 1 - herbs as food
Week 2 - herbs as medicine
Week 3 - herbs as teachers
Week 4 - herbs for nature connection
Week 5 - herbs for happiness
Week 6 - herbs for dyes part 1
Week 7 - herbs for dyes part 2

I just love herb club and it’s all with huge thanks to the wonderful children for the openness and enthusiasm they always bring to sharing their insights and inspirations! I’m excited for a new year, kicking off with this new term.

I hope to welcome you here soon,
Liz 🌿💚

Reptile rescue 🛟🦎
Warming in small hands after being found in the water; just as I read:
“To become indigenous is to grow the circle of healing to include all of Creation”
What would it be like if we remembered our responsibility to compassion, kindness and healing for all?

Yarrow bundles, gathered and drying with care and love for Flora & Fauna ‘Herb Club’ and 🤍

🤍 A special native healing herb, I’m excited to share in its gifts with you soon! My holiday reading has given me time with by Robin Wall Kimmerer and I’m so grateful for the inspiration and teachings of this book: intentional harvesting, ritual, ceremony, connection, the human and other-than human natural world —
Relationship. Reciprocity. Respect.

Did you know…
🌿✨I make every herbal tea blend to order.

I tried preparing them in advance, but they lost too much vitality. I now store the carefully prepared herbs as whole as possible, and blend them only as and when you ask for them.

This ensures you get a vibrant, flavourful, fresh herbal blend for your infusions.

And I’m always open to requests for bespoke blends! My wonderfully inspiring friend Karen gifted me a glorious blend of Motherwort, Chamomile & Rose yesterday, prompting me to go deeper with these particular herbs… 💚💚💚

Mullein leaf 🤍 — to dry these lovely fuzzy leaves ready for infusions all year round (it’s amazing for chesty coughs and even deep infections like bronchitis), I like to remove the juicy, chunky midrib. This makes getting a storage-safe 💯 dried tea much easier to achieve!

Do you know, I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself on here! I’m a go-with-the-flow, do what’s in front of me sort of person… and so completely overlooked an intro! 😂

I’m Liz, a Reiki Master Practitioner (Usui Reiki Ryoho) and Community Herbalist with a deep passion for helping families feel more balanced, at ease and connected.

I’m also a beekeeper, sea swimmer & animal lover 🐢🐝🐓🐕 I’m not a great gardener, but I’m amazing at growing and ‘editing’ weeds! Which suits my purpose perfectly…

My journey in Reiki and Herbalism began as a way to support myself and my children —it’s a bit of a long story (and if you know me, you know I love to talk!)—but what I can say is that these practices have been truly life-changing and deeply affirming for me and my family.

I identify with ADHD (or VAST as I prefer - Variable Attention Stimulus Trait) symptoms and the practices of and have been a lifeline 🛟 through some difficult times through CNS support, emotional regulation, and balancing mental wellbeing. If they didn’t cut it, I’d have been distracted by the ‘next thing’ long ago. These practices have stuck for just short of a decade: testimony in itself! ✨

I work with people of all ages, but I especially love working with children. Whether in a reiki session, herbal workshops, or kids flora & fauna ‘herb club’ I’m all about holistic approaches to supporting the body’s natural self-healing abilities.

If you or your child are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or just a bit out of whack, I’d love to connect and see how these practices might help you feel more grounded and supported.

Relaxation and nature connection is the first step towards any healing, and I’m here for that!

I’m here at The Honeybee Sanctuary in central most days, and available for appointments at in on Wednesday 14th May, Wednesday 4th June and Wednesday 2nd July 🌿🌀✨

With love
Liz 🌿💚
