Apothecary Rose Alembic Day
We invite you to an inspiring journey through the Apothecary Garden with our Rose Alembic Day. Immerse yourself into the essence of the rose, deepen your connection to nature and your heart.
Richard Howard and Chloe Isidora, guide the sacred art of communing with the deva of the rose and crafting your own alembic rose hydrolat and botanical incense.
The day begins with the rising sun going through the process of collection as the rose petals unfold. Through meditation opening yourself to be guided by the spirit of the Rose.
Experience the alchemy of the alembic process in making your own hydrolat. Witness the transformation of rose petals into a fragrant water, capturing the essence of the rose’s purity and magnetic beauty.
Engage your senses in the art of incense crafting, blending fragrant botanicals to create a celebration of natures gifts.
Enjoy a Rose tea ritual grounding yourself in an embodiment practice, dancing with the beauty and wisdom of the rose.
We look forward to welcoming you to a day of connection, creation and celebration. With nature, your heart and the Rose.
You will leave with a your own Rose Hydrolat, botanical incense and new friends.
What is an ‘alembic still?’
Alembic stills are powered by heat and water to produce steam in a controlled copper environment to create distilled materials. This process delicately breaks down the plant matter, producing highly concentrated aromatic oils and waters.
