apothecary workshop & bathe
One Saturday per month, take part in an Apothecary Workshop focusing on different topics inspired by our Wellness Pillars
$120-$135
We are delighted to introduce our newest experience: Apothecary Workshops. Beginning this month with Essential Aromatherapy, Peninsula Hot Springs is hosting monthly apothecary sessions in our enchanting Glasshouse space overlooking our Food Bowl, perfectly combined with Revitalise Bath House bathing.
During a 75-minute workshop beginning at 11am, you will be guided through a session - differing in topic month to month - designed to enrich knowledge drawn from ancient wisdom and promote connectivity in a relaxed and social setting. Create teas, tinctures, tonics, salves, balms, remedies and scrubs while led by an expert facilitator, before creating a product for your at home self-care ritual.
Explore our full Apothercary Workshop schedule below, select your preferred topic and be taken directly where you need to be to secure your booking.
Saturday 27 January Essential Aromatherapy
Our first Apothecary Workshop involves concocting a meditation oil and writing mindfulness affirmations to bring in the new year. You’ll have time to pause and reflect on dreams and goals for the coming year in a nurturing environment.
Saturday 17 February Herbal Drinks & Tisane
During the February workshop, explore rituals for relaxation and create a calming herbal tea. The workshop itself would also be the perfect way to celebrate special occasions, anniversaries, birthdays or delayed end-of-year get togethers.
Saturday 30 March Tintures & Tonics
As autumn approaches, your facilitator will impart knowledge on the nutritional power of plants and the benefits of Australian Bush Flower remedies. Your created remedy can then be taken home and enjoyed.
Saturday 6 April Living Paper Making
Be guided through the process of making your own paper using plant seeds from our very own Food Bowl. This workshop will weave together sustainability and the beauty of crafting paper for collages, cards, bookmarks and writing.
Saturday 4 May Sleep Support
A sleep-focussed session where you will learn how to achieve better sleep while making a sleep support tincture. This will pair beautifully with the act of bathing in our healing, sleep-promoting geothermal waters
Saturday 1 June Balms & Salves
On the first day of winter, you will learn about the incredible benefits of magnesium for movement, and make a magnesium balm to soothe weary muscles. Combined with bathing in our mineral-rich springs, your body will feel cared for and restored.
Saturday 6 July Essential Oil Distilling Workshop
Be taken on a sensory journey as you learn the method of distilling using botanicals picked and prepped by you from our Food Bowl. After distilling your chosen botanicals into essential oils and hydrosols, create a skin soothing balm or salt scrub to take home and enjoy.
