The Restorative Power of Comfrey: A Hands-On Salve-Making Workshop

We invite you to come and gather in community under the guidance and wisdom of one of our most ancient plant allies: Comfrey. Known as a powerful wound healer, Comfrey invites us to explore their therapeutic uses while engaging our senses in a hands-on salve-making session.

Our instructor for this workshop is land steward and herbalist Alyssa Dennis of Eclipta Herbal. Through Alyssa's experience, she sees the Earth’s surface as a kind of skin—vulnerable to dryness and cracks, just like our own. With its broad leaves and deep roots, Comfrey softens, restores, and reminds us of the power of repair. Its name, Symphytum, means “growing together”—a reflection of its ability to mend not only bodies, but communities, too.

Each participant will leave with a healing salve to take home.
