Rising Embers x Apothecary Forager’s herbalist Ruthie Weaver collaborate to bring a sauna and plant medicine meditation!!!

Working with one of the great ‘Aphrodisiac herbs. Aphrodisiac medicinal agents that support cardiovascular relaxation and dilation- this allows for better movement of blood to the periphery which stimulates the sweat reflex.

Ruthie will introduce you to plant medicine, how it works, why it works and offer you an amazing experience where you will receive a medicinal infusion and a time for deepening to truly connect with your body and the plant subject of study.

After drinking the herbal infusion, Ruthie will guide you into a sensory plant medicine meditation where you will be encouraged to tune into your senses and channel information from the plants through your own senses. There are 7 different tastes which all indicate different chemical compounds - each with their own medicinal actions. 

This session is a deep dive into plant medicine and will be held in Penzance at Ruthies home apothecary just 1 minute walk from Rising Embers sauna and then at the sauna for a 45 minute sweat an ancient practice to help fully activate your body's self regulating healing system and integrate the plant medicine.
