Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, from the world, or from a sense of purpose? Do you want to engage in activities that are hands-on, creative, and rooted in the natural world, but aren\u2019t sure where to start? Do you long to learn practical skills, craft something meaningful, and connect with others, while exploring the healing potential of plants and herbs?<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s fast-paced world, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. We often lose touch with the things that bring us joy and balance. We crave meaningful experiences, yet time and opportunity can be limited. Without hands-on learning, skill development, and connection to nature, life can feel rushed and ungrounded.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably tried self-help practices, mindfulness, or other ways to reconnect\u2014but there\u2019s something uniquely empowering about learning by doing in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Living Classroom! Engaging in DIY herbal and botanical projects can be a powerful way to build confidence, develop practical skills, and experience personal growth. It\u2019s a way to connect with the natural world, explore your creativity, and cultivate mindfulness. When these experiences are shared in a community setting, they also provide support, inspiration, and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Sheena Hanscel, a certified wellness & DIY coach. I guide individuals and groups through hands-on experiences that foster skill-building, creativity, and connection with nature.<\/p>\n

With a background in floral design, herbalism, and wellness coaching, I teach workshops and DIY projects that give you practical skills you can take home, while also encouraging personal empowerment, mindful living, and connection with others. Whether you\u2019re learning to craft teas, body care, floral arrangements, or other botanical creations, my goal is to help you leave with confidence, knowledge, and inspiration to bring the garden into your everyday life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1618606124379{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-color: #57486e !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1531838359254{padding-top: 0px !important;}”]\r\n\t

For example, you might be told to \u201cpractice self-care,\u201d which is great advice\u2014but how do you actually put it into practice in a meaningful way? What skills or knowledge do you need to connect with nature, craft herbal remedies, or create something with your own hands? Lasting growth comes from learning, doing, and experimenting, not shortcuts.<\/p>\n

Many approaches to wellness overlook your unique story, interests, and needs. That missing piece is you\u2014your creativity, curiosity, and capacity to grow through hands-on experiences.<\/p>\n

My approach focuses on teaching practical, skills-based herbal and botanical practices that you can use in your daily life. Whether it\u2019s crafting teas, body care, floral arrangements, or other plant-based creations, you\u2019ll gain knowledge, confidence, and the ability to bring the healing power of nature home with you.<\/p>\n

These experiences also foster connection\u2014to yourself, to the natural world, and to a community of like-minded learners. Engaging in nature-based craft and herbalism is not only empowering, it\u2019s therapeutic. It helps you slow down, reconnect, and build a sense of balance in a busy world.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to learn new skills, deepen your relationship with plants, and experience the joy of creating with intention, you\u2019re in the right place. I\u2019m here to guide you through hands-on experiences that are educational, inspiring, and rooted in the natural world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1618606132740{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-color: #57486e !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1531838359254{padding-top: 0px !important;}”]\r\n\t

I know you’re more than just the labels you carry. More than just a collection of roles and responsibilities. You’re more than just your daily routine. You are a soul seeking connection \u2013 to yourself, to nature, and to something larger than yourself.<\/p>\n

My DIY workshops will guide you in crafting those rituals, empowering you to honor your journey and connect with the sacred in your every day life through skills based learning and botanical craft.<\/p>\n

It’s about cultivating deep and lasting well-being and crafting a life that truly resonates with your soul. It’s about coming home to yourself.<\/p>\n

Every workshop is unique, just like the people who join them. I design hands-on, skills-based experiences that teach you how to work with herbs, flowers, and natural materials in ways that are practical, creative, and deeply meaningful. Every workshop is a step toward reconnecting with the ways our ancestors once lived \u2014 in relationship with plants, the land, and each other. These hands-on, skills-based experiences draw from ethnobotanical traditions, honoring Indigenous knowledge and time-tested practices while making them accessible for everyday life today.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re learning how to craft remedies from native plants, exploring the stories and cultural histories behind them, or simply deepening your connection to the natural world, these workshops offer a space to reclaim skills that have supported communities for generations.<\/p>\n

Tinctures are a traditional way to preserve the beneficial properties of plants in a convenient and shelf-stable form. They can be made from a wide variety of herbs and are often valued for their portability, versatility, and long shelf life.<\/p>\n
