herbs & clay - Ein Frauentag für Brustgesundheit, Pflanzenwissen & Kreativität

In the organizer's words:

A day for connection.

With nature. With your hands. With your body.

On Women's Day on March 8 and September 5, we will open a space for ancient plant knowledge, creative development and conscious breast health.

You will discover healing wild herbs, make your own women's elixir and potter a unique Boob Mug: a mug with a breast design as a powerful reminder of your inner strength and self-care.

What to expect

Schedule and what this workshop includes:

• Herbal hike in Leipzig's urban nature

  Together we will go on a short herbal tour to discover wild women's herbs that can support us in our women's health and help with typical women's complaints such as PMS, menstrual pain or menopausal symptoms.

• Making your own herbal elixir

  After the herbal walk, we will process the herbs into elixirs for your women's health. You will learn tips and tricks from Daniela to make your own effective extracts and take your homemade elixir home with you.

• Making a boob mug (with your hands, not on the wheel)

  After the lunch break, we will focus on working with clay and breast health. You can be a beginner potter; Katharina will show you step by step how to make your own mug and share her knowledge about breast cancer prevention and screening.

• Exchange & relaxing women's day atmosphere

  A cozy space for encounters, wisdom and connection.

• Extras: goodie bag and breast health guide & herbal booklet to take home.

  Knowledge for your everyday life, for your rest, your break, your self-care - to take away.
