Sonja is having her Herbalism Tea Workshop following the tasting if you would like to learn more and have a complete tea experience and take home a custom blend! See the link below for more details:

Have you ever wondered what goes into a tea blend that not only tastes delicious, but also nourishes the body, mind, and soul?

Did you know that herbs have long been connected to the rhythms of the seasons, astrological signs, and chakras?

Join Sonja in this interactive workshop where you will craft your own tea blend infused with both the quiet wisdom of the winter season and a personal intention for the new year.

The workshop will begin with Freya’s Sacred Wintering Blend—a thoughtfully chosen mixture of herbs designed to gently nourish the body and calm the mind during winter’s stillness. Participants will mix the herbs themselves as Sonja explains the energetic and supportive qualities of each plant and why it was selected for this blend. You will be able to add an (optional) herb from a selection of 3 additional herbs, allowing each participant to further personalize their tea and intention.

Sonja’s approach to herbalism is deeply rooted in lived experience. Raised in a household where natural remedies were honored, she carried these traditions into her own family as she raised her children.
As her connection to plant medicine continued to deepen, Sonja pursued formal training in herbalism with renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar.

Today, sharing this knowledge has become a heartfelt passion—guiding others to reconnect with nature as a source of nourishment, balance, and gentle healing.

Workshop Experience

1. Seasonal Herbal Wisdom & Energetics
   A guided exploration of three carefully chosen herbs whose energetic, spiritual, and wellness qualities align with February’s themes of rest, reflection, and intentional recalibration. We will observe how plants, like humans, are conserving nutrients and storing energy beneath the surface—preparing quietly for the growth and expression of spring.
2. Intuitive Tea Blending Ritual
   Participants will be able to create, with Sonja’s assistance, a personalized tea blend using four seasonal herbs. With 3 pre-chosen herbs that embody nourishment, strength, and gentle activation and a fourth herb chosen by participants to reflect personal intention, weaving individual purpose into the collective energy of preparation and renewal.
3. Freya’s Teas Intention Ceremony
   Through a guided tea ceremony, we will consciously infuse our blends with intention—honoring the plant allies, the season, and the inner work of rooting dreams before they emerge. This ritual invites presence, gratitude, and embodied connection with the medicine we have created.
4. Meditation & Integration
   The gathering will close with a grounding meditation to anchor intentions into the physical and energetic body. This final integration offers space to reflect, receive, and gently call in the path unfolding ahead as we move toward the returning light of spring.

This workshop includes herbal instruction by Sonja and printed instructions to take home, supplies to make your own tea blend, tea ceremony, and guided meditation. Each participant will take home their own tea blend pouch with 15 servings (a $12.50 value).

Please note that this event has limit of 8 spaces in order to ensure a more intimate experience and requires prior prepayment registration to allow Sonja to gather the ingredients and supplies.

Have you heard of a Sound Bath? Have you been curious to learn why many say it is the most gentle yet profound healing method? Here is your opportunity to experience it for yourself!

Sound healing taps into the body’s natural resonance, encouraging deep relaxation and a gentle shift in nervous‑system activity. When using sound healing instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, crystal pyramids, gongs, rain sticks, and thunder drums, their rich overtones create a field of vibrational energy that can synchronize brainwaves, moving them from the fast beta range toward the calming alpha and theta frequencies associated with meditative states, reduced stress, and enhanced creativity.

The pure, sustained tones of crystal bowls and pyramids are especially effective at clearing energetic blockages, allowing subtle “chi” or life‑force to flow more freely, which many practitioners report as improved emotional balance and heightened sense of well‑being.

Percussive elements, such as Tibetan bowls and gongs, add a broader spectrum of harmonics that stimulate the body’s proprioceptive and auditory pathways, supporting pain relief, better sleep, and a feeling of groundedness. The use of rain sticks and thunder drums introduce rhythmic, earth‑like pulses that can anchor the listener, fostering a sense of safety and connection to nature.

Together, this blend of resonant sounds creates a holistic sonic environment that promotes mental clarity, emotional release, and physical relaxation—all key components of a restorative sound‑healing experience.

The intention of this February sound bath session is to honor the winter months that allow our bodies to ground, rest and recuperate, preparing for new birth in the spring.
