NATURE WORKATION
Healing Herbs Workshop
With Blomstergården, Jan and Anne fulfilled a long-held dream. After a two-year renovation of this listed farmhouse in a UNESCO World Heritage ‘Wendland Round Village’, it became a source of inspiration for numerous new projects. In pilot programs, participants already experienced the power of Blomstergården’s nature–planting in the orchard meadow, foraging wild herbs, collecting mushrooms, or gathering around the campfire. Consistent feedback emphasized a great desire for programs focused on reconnecting with nature, exchanging ideas, and taking mindful breaks from the fast-paced world, inspiring the creation of our Nature Workation programs.
Exploring the transformative power of healing herbs for women’s health.
Herbs are powerful natural allies that can enhance our well-being, aid in healing, and enrich our quality of life. They help us reconnect with ourselves and strengthen our sense of self-efficacy and empathy. Women, in particular, often seek natural and gentle alternatives for their well-being. Herbal medicine has long played a significant role in women's health, offering valuable support for minor ailments. Our Herbal Workshop for Women is designed for those interested in natural remedies, offering the chance to explore local herbs in Wendland, learn their effects, and use them to support your health and vitality. It’s the perfect opportunity to deepen your knowledge and build a stronger connection with nature.
