About Herbalism at Take Root Studio
What Is Herbalism?
Herbalism is the art and science of working with plants to support wellness, harmony, and connection with nature. For thousands of years, people have turned to the earth’s natural offerings—roots, flowers, leaves, and seeds—for nourishment, healing, and daily balance.
At Take Root Studio, herbalism isn’t just about remedies—it’s about relationship. We believe that every plant carries its own wisdom and energy, and through mindful study and practical use, we can reconnect with the cycles of nature and our own inner rhythm.
Our herbal approach blends folk traditions, modern wellness practices, and mindful crafting, empowering individuals to take part in their own well-being through education, creativity, and community.
Who Is It For?
Herbalism is for everyone—from the curious beginner learning to make their first tea blend to the seasoned home herbalist expanding their craft.
Our classes and workshops welcome:
- Individuals seeking natural ways to support wellness
- Creatives who enjoy hands-on crafting and making with intention
- Parents and families exploring gentle herbal options for home use
- Those wanting to live more sustainably, mindfully, and connected to the earth
No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to learn, create, and explore.
What We Offer
Take Root Studio offers a variety of educational and creative herbal experiences throughout the year, designed to meet learners at every level:
Free Community Classes: The Herbal Hour at the Cleveland Bradley Library
Join us quarterly on the 4th Tuesday at 10 AM for a free educational session introducing seasonal herbs, safe home uses, and simple ways to bring nature into your daily routine. Each session includes tea tasting and discussion.
In-Studio Herbal Education + Craft Classes
Expand your learning beyond the library with deeper hands-on sessions. Each month’s class builds on that Herbal Hour topic—offering advanced methods and a creative project such as salve making, herbal honey infusions, smoke blends, or Florida Water.
Manifest-Station Workshops
A sacred blend of herbal crafting and energetic intention-setting. These classes invite you to work with herbs that align with the lunar cycle, creating personalized blends and rituals that nurture your spiritual growth.
Private Herbal Workshops
Looking for a personalized or group experience? Our private workshops are perfect for birthdays, team gatherings, mother–daughter days, or special interest groups. Each session is custom-designed to fit your goals—whether you’d like to craft a specific herbal product, learn about plant energetics, or simply enjoy a creative afternoon surrounded by nature’s wisdom.
Custom Herbal Consultations & Formulations
For those seeking more personalized support, we offer private herbal consultations and custom product formulations—crafted with intention, education, and your wellness goals in mind.
What to Expect
Every herbal class at Take Root Studio is rooted in sensory experience—smelling, touching, tasting, and learning directly from the plants themselves. You’ll leave each session with both knowledge and something tangible you’ve crafted by hand, along with a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
Classes are inclusive, beginner-friendly, and designed with sustainability in mind. Whenever possible, we use foraged or locally sourced materials to honor the land and reduce waste.
Herbalism at Take Root Studio is more than a practice—it’s a way of living Rooted in gratitude, creativity, and connection to the earth.
