Wear comfortable clothes suitable for light outdoor walking as well as kitchen work. Please feel free to bring personal kitchen tools or ingredients as well as an appetite for a gourmet bug dinner.

Refreshing Herbal Healing Soak
AbunDance Healing Arts Sanctuary
By appointment in July & August
For centuries, sacred herbal waters have been a part of healing rituals across many cultures for emotional, spiritual, and physical cleansing. Our skin, the largest organ of our body, is a potent way to soak in the benefits of various medicinal and spirit-lifting plants. Let me prepare you an outdoor bathtub of botanical bliss from fresh herbs and flowers growing in my yarden and glorious well water.
When you arrive, I can introduce you to the plants that created your bath then leave you to luxuriate with a cup of tea surrounded by the beauty and peace of The Sanctuary. Cost for an hour soak is $50 and must be planned at least a day in advance to give the giant sun tea a chance to steep. This offer is limited to the summer months of July & August. Please contact Kim to schedule your visit or ask questions:
