SUMMARY:Spring Herbal Series: Herbal Salve Making
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Rebecca Hein\n\n\n\nLearn to make herbal infused oils and salves! Herbs can be applied topically\, as oils or salves\, to support skin\, muscle and joins\, paint relief\, and used as first aid. We will discuss how to prepare an herb for oil extraction and demonstrate how to transform an infused oil into a healing salve. We will make an herbal salve together in class and each participant will receive a container to take home. \n\n\n\nLimited spots available. Registration with a $10 refundable deposit is required to hold your place. Donations recommended on a sliding scale of $0 – 30; no one will be turned away for lack of funds \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAccess: The workshop series is held on the second floor of the NATURE Lab building\, which is currently only accessible by a flight of stairs. If stairs will present a barrier to attending the workshop please get in touch (info@mediasanctuary.org) in case we can accommodate your participation in another way. \n\n\n\nAbout the facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRebecca Hein is a community herbalist and urban farmer. Founder and owner of Underground Alchemy\, she has been making herbal remedies grown on what were vacant lots in Albany’s South End since 2011. Her work is driven by a desire to connect people and plants\, support community health and empowerment\, and position herbalism in the struggle for accessible healthcare. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis series is facilitated by herbalists affiliated with the People’s Health Sanctuary Community Apothecary who are volunteering their time and sharing information for educational purposes. None of the remedies shared in these workshops are intended to diagnose or treat any disease.

Treatments take place in a shared space\, allowing care to be offered affordably while fostering connection\, dignity\, and collective rest. Each person receives individualized acupuncture within a calm\, supportive community setting. \n\n\n\nThis clinic exists to support those impacted by stress\, trauma\, burnout\, chronic pain\, illness\, and systemic inequity—especially people who are uninsured\, underinsured\, or historically excluded from wellness spaces.
