The Spring Apothecary: A Hygge Wellness Experience - May 20

A Hygge Wellness Experience

This 2.5 to 3-hour immersive workshop that blends two elements of my work:

• The Hygge Pantry – simple, accessible fermentation and gut health
• The Hygge Lab – botanical, sensory crafting for the home

As winter gives way to spring, we’re naturally drawn toward clearing, refreshing, and starting anew. This hands-on workshop invites you to explore “spring cleaning” from the inside out, beginning with the gut and extending into your home and daily rituals.

We’ll begin with a relaxed and engaging introduction to the art of fermentation, exploring how simple, living foods can support digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Participants will create a jar of spring-inspired fermented vegetables to take home, using fresh, accessible ingredients.

From there, we’ll shift into a sensory, creative experience through botanical crafting, where you’ll blend your own aromatherapy-based products to support clarity, freshness, and seasonal transitions (especially helpful during allergy season).

This experience is designed to bring together nourishment, creativity, and simple rituals you can carry into your everyday life.

Participants will:

• Learn the foundations of vegetable fermentation and how it supports gut health, digestion, and overall well-being
• Create a jar of spring-inspired fermented vegetables using fresh, seasonal ingredients
• Craft a botanical room spray to refresh and reset their home environment
• Blend a personal aromatherapy rollerball to support clarity, balance, and seasonal transition
• Sample a curated selection of fermented foods to experience flavour, texture, and variation
• Explore simple, meaningful ways to incorporate these practices into daily life through seasonal rituals and mindful nourishment

Light snack and beverages provided.
