POTION MAKING WORKSHOP
POTION MAKING WORKSHOP
Potion Workshops with Alice Rose Betony from Sacred Seeds Herbal Project. Wowo’s very own resident medical herbalist.



POTION MAKING WORKSHOP IN THE VILLAGE AREA IN LOWER MOAT FIELD
Join Wowo’s resident Medical Herbalist to learn how to brew your own simple and safe potions. Learn about a selection of common wild weeds, cottage garden herbs and kitchen spices and choose what magic powers you want your potion to have. You can choose from herbs that can ease digestive or respiratory complaints, boost immunity or aid anxiety.
Alice will be on hand to offer personalised advice for your family’s health needs and you can feel empowered learning about the ingredients and tools to make your own potions.
This workshop is suitable for all the family (under 8yrs accompanied by an adult), it is a sensory experience and educational too.
The base of your potion will be apple cider vinegar (so not suitable for anyone that is allergic to this) and you will take your potion home with you to brew for 4-6 weeks before you can use it. Learning this simple recipe opens up a plethora of ways you can learn how to keep your family naturally healthy through the seasons and you will be equipped to reproduce these potions again at home.
Alice Betony runs Sacred Seeds Herbal Project and offers regular workshops in foraging, wild medicine and medicine making for all ages.
1hr. £10. Under 8yrs accompanied by an adult.
18 people max per session.
Potion Parties: Alice is available for birthday parties, family gatherings, corporate or other group activities to offer a potion party class. All ages enjoy making potions, learning about these common herbs and sharing in this experience together. Alice can offer this either onsite at Wowo or at another local venue.
To see all potion making dates please visit the Wowo Calendar. Scroll through the calendar between May and September to find all of the sessions.

ABOUT ALICE BETONY
Alice is the eldest daughter of the Cragg family, the original owners of Wowo Campsite. Alice now owns the campsite with her siblings Bea & Staff. She set up and still runs all Workshops at Wowo. Realising the potential to help inner city kids and families experience nature connection and bushcraft as part of their camping experience. This then expanded to the general public in the surrounding area to also offer full day workshops in foraging and wild basketry plus more. The master forager Anna Richardson became and remains a dear friend and mentor to Alice, for which she is eternally grateful. Alice went on to deepen her own bushcraft skills by attending the year long survival course called Trackways which culminated in a 4 day survival quest in the Pyrenees.
Over the years she was so inspired by the plants that she also underwent a 3yr full time Herbal medicine course in London and is now a qualified medical Herbalist and Naturopath. Alice’s main passion is to empower and inspire kids and families to help themselves stay healthy through the abundance of nature’s medicine around us. Alice also grows herbs in her herb garden at wowo and turns many of her harvests into her product range of herbal tonics which you can buy from the campsite reception shop or from her online shop.
