An early autumn creative escape awaits… A day of slow making, gentle wandering, and deep connection with the turning season
 
This Autumn, I’m delighted to be collaborating with Emma of Sacred Senses Holistics (www.sacredsensesholistics.co.uk), to bring you an enchanting creative workshop—one that blends art, nature, herbal wisdom, and mindful, heart‑led craft
 
10.30am–1pm:
Decorating Your Handmade Flower Press
We begin the day with a beautiful keepsake: a handmade wooden flower press for each participant. Under my guidance, you’ll play and transform your press using decoupage techniques, delicate imagery, and gathered ephemera to create a collage that feels personal, whimsical, and entirely your own
 
Creating Your Own Herbal Tea Blends
Before lunch, guided by Emma, you’ll move into a gentle herbal‑connection ritual. Surrounded by fragrant botanicals, you’ll take a quiet moment to tune into the herbs and flowers, selecting those that soothe, calm, and support your wellbeing. You’ll blend your own teas and fill handmade teabags—small pockets of comfort to take home
 
1pm–2pm — A Cosy, Nutritious Homemade Lunch
We’ll pause for a nourishing, homemade lunch—warm, comforting, and perfect for an early Autumn day
 
2pm–4.30pm: 
Introduction to Flower Pressing
In the afternoon, you’ll wander through Emma’s garden and meadow—alive with late‑summer colour, shifting textures, and the soft hum of early Autumn. Here, you’ll gather cuttings to use in your flower press, letting the landscape guide your hands.
Back indoors, you’ll begin the first steps of building your flower press, learning how to select, prepare, and arrange your botanical treasures so they dry beautifully. You’ll be able to continue the pressing process at home, allowing your creativity to unfold slowly over the coming weeks
 
Aromatherapy Inhaler & Pulse‑Point Perfume
Next, you’ll explore the world of aromatherapy. You’ll create your own Aromatherapy Inhaler and Pulse Point perfume, learning about the meanings, moods, and emotional qualities of different oils. This is a deeply personal, sensory moment—choosing the scents that speak to you
 
Floral Crown or Garland
Continuing the floral theme, you’ll choose from a large selection of dried flowers previously gathered from Emma’s garden to create your own Flower Crown or Garland. This is a playful, intuitive part of the day—taking time to select the blooms that call to you and letting your hands wander
 
Tea, Coffee, Cake & Oracle Cards
We finish with tea, coffee, and cake, followed by gentle Oracle Card readings—a soft, reflective closing to a day spent making, wandering, gathering, and reconnecting with nature
