Even the driest, chapped skin can be healed with simple remedies using herbs, plant-based oils and butters with essential oils. We’ll talk about the most effective herbs and natural ingredients for skin care and the benefits for prevention and healing. Included will be a demonstration and hands-on participation with a sample to take home.
Anna Dvorak is a personal guide for living a vibrantly healthy life. She teaches how healthier choices can be attainable for our skin, home environment and bodies through natural products, organic ingredients, and balanced living. Anna incorporates her passion for herbs and budding practice of herbalism into her organic skin care line, classes and retreats. Her body and skin care classes emphasize products that soothe and protect the skin using natural and herb-infused ingredients, while her cooking classes focus on decadent simplicity in anti-inflammatory, plant-based recipes. Anna teaches at the Wedge Co-op and other Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area co-ops, at the Kitchen Window Cooking School, and leads weekend retreats focused on exploring balanced living. She is certified as a Nutrition and Wellness consultant.
Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month (though there is no meeting in January). We meet from 7:009:00 pm. Come early, from 6:307:00 for socializing, tea and snacks.
