Retreats
Retreats offer a more in-depth immersion in the healing arts with a balance of health and wellness topics, nature walks, crafts, cooking, and fun. They feature delicious and nourishing home-cooked meals, comfortable accommodations and mystical walks through fields of wildflowers in beautiful locations such as Colorados Estes Park and New Mexico's Ghost Ranch. Past retreats have focused on women's spirituality, herbal medicine making, and spa weekends.
Private retreats for groups from 5-10 are surprisingly affordable. Let Susan guide your group or organization for a fun-filled weekend. If you are interested in hosting a private retreat please contact Chrysalis Herbs for more details.
We currently do not have any public retreats scheduled. For updates, subscribe to our monthly newsletter "The Herb Blurb".
Herb Walks - Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Without our help, Nature fills her garden with an abundance of wild herbs. Susan offers guided walks that reveal the many useful, edible and medicinal plants that grow wild in your area. Students will learn to identify several local varieties and discover the history, folklore, and practical uses in food, as medicine and for body and home care.
Susan is available for group and private herb walks. Explore the plant kingdom in local parks and mountain trails or see what is growing on your own property.
Contact Susan today to schedule an herb walk or visit the Upcoming Classes page for upcoming treks.
