Step gently into the sacred world of botanicals—living allies rooted in the earth’s ancient wisdom, quietly offering their healing gifts in a dance of reciprocity.

Join Marcii and Marlene from WONDERVELD for an intimate and soul-nourishing journey into the heart of plant wisdom. With gentle guidance and deep reverence, you will learn to listen to and commune with the subtle spirits of Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), Nettle (Urtica dioica), Elderberry (Sambucus nigra), Calendula (Calendula officinalis), African lemon verbena ( Lippia javanica ), Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Rose (Rosa damascena), Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), Green tea (Camellia sinensis), Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica), Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Sage (Salvia officinalis), Raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Peppermint (Mentha × piperita), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Cape Fynbos -; Buchu (Agathosma betulina), Wild sage (Salvia africana-caerulea), Kraalbos (Galenia africana), Wilde als (Artemisia afra), and Rose geranium (Pelargonium graveolens).

Together, we will explore the delicate alchemy of crafting infusions, where water becomes a living vessel carrying floral and leafy essences; the harmonizing union of oils and waters into nourishing emulsions; and the mindful creation of botanical medicines that nurture your body, mind, and spirit as one whole ecosystem.

This is more than technique—it is a doorway to deepening your communion with nature’s pharmacy. Holding these plants in your hands, you will transform their vitality into soulful remedies, co-creating medicine that honors the sacred reciprocity between your intention and the earth’s abundance.

Can you feel their breath? Close your eyes; inhale deeply. Let these fragrant allies open your heart and awaken the knowing that we are not separate, but intricately woven within life’s healing embrace.

Welcome to the Wisdom of Nature

Nature—the eternal Teacher, the enduring Medicine, our shared Home.

To be healed by the Earth

This is a re-membering of our inherent sacredness and connection.
Wonderveld is rooted deeply in the conviction that all healing is relational, a sacred exchange between the earth and ourselves, living in reciprocity and respect.

You will craft 4 Products | Co-Created With Nature

Using only organic herbs, oils, waxes, mindfully selected and grown by hands they trust, you will be guided in crafting:

1. A Lymphatic Salt Scrub or an Herbal Bath Blend / Ritual Soak infused with handpicked botanicals and flowers—harvest their cleansing and restorative rhythms.

2. A Restorative Body Oil—“Mother Nurture”—or a Herbal Skin Oil enriched with herbs of your choice, such as calendula, helichrysum, and comfrey, plants born from the soil and tending to your body’s renewal.

3. An Essential Salve, the Flower Balm—a soothing balm designed to protect, heal, and carry the nurturing essence of flower medicine.

4. And finally, the crowning gift: your very own Perfume Attar—a personal, living scent to carry the essence of this experience and your unique bond with the botanical world.
