Step into the Magic of Plant Witchery
Join us for a transformative weekend of herbal learning, ritual, and reconnection with nature on our 25 acres of woodland and meadowland in Mynyddcerrig, South. West Wales.
The Witch’s Cupboard is part of our 2027 Herbal Remedies Weekend Workshop Series, exploring the remedies, folklore, traditions, plant magic and ritual that might once have been found inside a Witch’s Cupboard.
Over three days, we’ll open the cupboard together and discover some of the plants, remedies, preparations, charms and traditions hidden inside. We’ll explore why people worked with them, the stories and folklore surrounding them, and their practical, medicinal and magical uses.
This is a very hands on weekend. We’ll work with plants, make things, taste things, create things and experience them for ourselves, and you’ll take home your own collection of remedies and witchy creations from the weekend.

Led by Kathy Sanderson
This weekend is created and led by Kathy Sanderson, founder of Community Gatherings and Healing From Within, herbal remedy maker, energy healer and plant connector, currently training as a medical herbalist.
Kathy has worked with energy and healing for many years, using energy, sound, plants and nature within her work. She grows, forages and works with many of the plants used during her workshops here on the land in South West Wales, creating tinctures, infused oils, balms, teas, flower essences and other herbal preparations.
Her relationship with plants goes beyond simply learning what they are “good for”. Her teaching explores their practical and traditional uses alongside their folklore, history, energetics and the ways people have worked with plants medicinally, magically and spiritually for generations.
Kathy’s workshops are practical, down to earth and very hands on. You’ll learn by meeting plants, making things, tasting things, creating things and actually working with them, rather than sitting through hours of theory.
You don’t need any previous herbal knowledge. Just curiosity, a willingness to get stuck in and probably a healthy appreciation for having cupboards full of mysterious jars. 😂

Come and Open the Witch’s Cupboard…
What would you find inside?
Herbs gathered for healing and protection. Old remedies passed down through generations. Charms, incense, oils and preparations made from the plants around us. Things for the home, the body, ritual and magic.
Over the weekend, we’ll open the Witch’s Cupboard together and explore the remedies, folklore, plant magic and old traditions hidden inside.
But we won’t just talk about them.
You’ll make, taste, create and experience them for yourself, taking home your own collection of remedies and witchy creations from the weekend.
No previous herbal knowledge needed. Just come curious.
