The Horn Farm Center, 4945 Horn Road, York, will host a Women's Foraging & Herbal Self Care Mini-Retreat on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Calyx Liddick from the Northern Appalachia School will be the instructor. Attendees will spend the day learning about local plants and how to incorporate them into their lives for restoration and healing. The retreat combines Liddick's popular women's foraging class with a full afternoon of herbal medicine making and holistic self-care.

In the morning, attendees will learn the essentials of foraging, including plant identification and safety, as well as medicinal and edible uses of plants. In the afternoon, the group will move to the kitchen to learn about herbal skin care and how to make several different topical applications to facilitate a home herbal spa.

Participants will also get to blend and try out their own herbal skin-care products, including clay masks and cold compresses. The program will conclude with the serving of herbal tea and a discussion of stress management, self-care and community care and a guided grounding relaxation.

A lunch with farm-to-table and foraged ingredients will be provided to those attending the full day or morning session. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be provided.
