Join Renata on a journey with medicinal Celtic plants. Learn their traditional uses, their history, their legends and stories along with the scientific evidence that they work. Let’s learn what our ancestors have practised for millenia.
Our evening will be a mix of tastes, stories, tradition and science that will end with a relaxing Soundbath. You will discover the secret of medicinal plants and you’ll experience the healing effect of the sound and vibration!

The plant we’re going to connect with in August is Lavender. Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region, but it grows in temperate regions all around the world.

In ancient Greece and Rome, the different species of lavender were used as a disinfectant in hospitals. Use of lavender as a perfume goes well beyond 2000 years. The traces of lavender scent were detected in 1922 in Egypt, when Tutankhamun’s tomb was opened after 3000 years since it was sealed. Lavender was used in ancient times by Egyptians and Phoenicians as a part of the embalming process. Lavender was considered an expensive part of perfumes and ointments in Biblical times.

Lavender has multiple therapeutic effects. It was traditionally used as an antidepressant, the spells of dizziness, migraines, stress, anxiety, nervousness, toothaches and many more! The infused oil is one of the best traditional remedies for burns and insect bites.

Lavender is a great moth repellent- flower spikes placed around dried fruit or among the clothing would deter moths. It is abundant in our garden, and it is flowering right now!
