1. The day begins with a guided garden tour where you will learn about medicinal plants that grow all around us and what health benefits they can provide. We enjoy sharing our ancestral knowledge and will offer examples of how you can apply the techniques you learn here at your home using plants that grow in your own environment.

2. Next, we will demonstrate how our natural products are handmade using all parts of the plant, emphasizing a zero-waste recycle process. You will learn about distillation and how to make distilled water infused with the aromatherapeutic plant material that many people discard after cooking.

3. Finally, we will teach you how to make your own face scrub, face mask and moisturizing cream from fresh, organic ingredients provided by Mother Nature. We will show you how to use traditional tools such as a wooden grater with a banana leaf to extract juices and volcanic stone mortal and pestle to grind down herbs and plants. You will finish this course with valuable knowledge and a piece of true Bali spirit in your heart.

Thank you a lot dear!
