New Course: Botanical Bartender save $100 when you sign up by 3/31

This incredible botanical training, six years in the making is about to make its long-awaited debut. As a lover of both herbal medicine and botanical beverages, Herbalist Lupo Passero has been paying close attention in recent years to this botanical boom in the bar industry and has certainly been inspired and excited to see some of her favorite medicinal plants become a huge part of the cocktail/mocktail revolution. However, she was quick to notice that several of the specialty drinks she has been served, as a patron and as a judge at various local cocktail competitions, contained ingredients that, as a trained herbalist, she would not necessarily deem safe for consumption by all. While sharing a plant-based beverage (and her concerns) about this topic with fellow Herbalist, beloved friend, and Aromatherapist Ilana Sobo, the two felt inspired to create an online training program that would offer all lovers of plant-based spirits a course in the safe and efficacious use of commonly used herbs and botanicals.

Community Winter Solstice Ritual and Seasonal Celebration

Twin Star & Home Sweet Spa invite you for a winter solstice celebration

Winter Solstice is almost upon us, on the shortest day of the year the earth is at its greatest distance from the sun, making the winter solstice the longest night of the year. The word solstice comes from the Latin sol stetit which literally means “sun standstill.“ Most likely this description came from the illusion caused by the suns position in the horizon. For six days around the time preceding and following the solstice the sun appears to rise and set in the same place. The sleeping earth is filled with magic and mystery. Days that have grown increasingly short, conclude with the celebration of Yule and the rebirth of the light. Along with Samhain, the winter solstice is one of the most widely celebrated of the ancient rituals and one of our favorites.

Join us in celebration for some last minute holiday shopping on Saturday featuring: Twin Star Herbal Products, Home Sweet Spa beauty and wellness products & Gift Certificates, Handmade Astrological Jewelry by Laura Watkins and Divinely crafted Blessing Sprays by Deana Paqua.

Doors open at 5pm for casual visiting, shopping and chatting. We’ll Circle up for community ritual @ 7pm including group energy clearing and blessing, astrological updates, Winter Solstice story time, a spiral candle ceremony and song! More TBA.
