Plant Potions: Winter Box 2024

Winter is upon near! It’s a season of quiet, inward reflection, and sacred rest. A time to turn our attention inward to reflect on everything the year has gifted us with, whether that be abundance, lessons learned, connections made, or things we’ve released.

To offer warmth & light through the darkness of winter, a winter box has been thoughtfully created with essential oils that will help: ground, uplift & center our energy as we navigate through the cold months ahead. Your winter self-care will be a light in the darkness.
