Speaker: Lucretia VanDyke, Herbalist and Author The skin, the body’s largest organ, offers valuable insight into overall health and well-being. This session explores the connection between skin health and internal balance while highlighting the therapeutic potential of botanical skincare. Participants will learn how to create herbal-infused face oils, masks, body scrubs, and spiritual baths using natural ingredients, many of which can be found in the kitchen. The session will also cover the benefits of gua sha facial massage for lymphatic drainage and the role of skincare as a ritual for emotional healing, including grief, heartbreak, and self-love. The presentation will conclude with a hands-on experience, allowing participants to apply what they have learned in a virtual spa session.
