The week started with a body lotion workshop by Andrea, a naturopath with more than 10 years of experience. Participation was limited in order to provide a unique experience.
The day consisted of three parts.
Visit to the garden.
There Andrea explained to the participants the characteristics of the plants, their properties, history and “felt” them (saw, smelled, touched). The participants collected the plants.
Workshop.
To start with, they served tea prepared with lemongrass which helped to further relax the atmosphere.
The aim was to create two lotions. One with coconut oil, aloe and lavender for the boys and the other with coconut oil, aloe, thyme and rose essence for the girls.
Andrea shared all her knowledge in a very practical and dedicated way. The particularity of these preparations is that as they are chemical free they can be edible. At the end each participant took their own lotion.
Dinner.
After the workshop, Cristiano prepared dinner using the rest of the herbs that had been collected previously.
