In this workshop we will work under the guidance of the New Moon in Libra to create custom ritual baths that best suit our intention for the following moon cycle. We will cover the different types and uses of traditional ritual baths in shamanism, and how to tune into our intuition to choose the herbs, minerals, and crystals that best suit our needs. There will be a brief overview of what each herb signifies spiritually, time for reflection to ground your new moon intention into your heart, and hands on time to create your custom bath to take home. For those without bathtubs do not fret! You can use your creation as a foot soak, body scrub, or steam.
