THANK YOU HOMESTEAD APOTHECARY for the

GEM WISDOM WORKSHOP!

THE LOWER LODGE HOSTS

GEM WISDOM

This workshop covers the essentials of essence making with particular emphasis on gems or crystals. We'll examine how gems are formed, the history of the use of stones and how they affect us energetically and physically. We will cover internal uses of essence formulas and external uses of gemstones including mapping stones on the body for chakra healing. Once we cover this basic introduction, we'll take a more in depth look at the healing and energetic qualities of particular stones and plants. Finally, we'll learn how to preserve the essence of a moment or particular experience to keep with us and share with others.


Each student will come away with: 

new skills to develop, a stone of their choosing and an essence formula to engage with more deeply. All materials will be provided!

NIC WEINSTEIN

After a decade of engaging with the plants on his own, Nic moved to Western Mass where he studied herbal medicine with Brittany Wood Nickerson and Dori Midnight and started a Community Supported Medicine (CSM) program on an organic farm. In 2013 he moved back to Oakland CA to open Homestead Apothecary which offers a wide array of herbs, remedies and goods all made, collected or grown by mostly local folks who are passionate about their craft. He also has created his own line of herbal medicine products including teas, smoking blends, zines, gem essence sprays and a tincture blend line, which incorporates gem essences that were made under the Harvest Moon.
