Autumn Naturally

Autumn Naturally

Autumn is fast approaching, bringing shorter days, cooler evenings and a time when we are more willing to surround ourselves with warmth, beautiful scents and natural products. This is a good time to prepare for the coming season and create something to brighten up the long autumn afternoons and evenings.

That is why we have once again prepared workshops close to nature — a series of creative meetings inspired by what nature gives us. It will be fragrant, colorful and creative, and the program will include proposals for both children and adolescents and adults. Handicraft, cosmetic and herbal workshops will allow you to discover natural materials, aromas and products, and at the same time create original decorations, cosmetics or autumn supplies.

This is a proposal for those who like to act with their own hands, draw inspiration from nature and spend time in a creative atmosphere. Autumn can be really beautiful — especially if you prepare for it in a unique way.

Lavender relaxation — aromatic spa for big and small

Move with us to the fragrant purple fields and feel the soothing power of lavender! During this aromatic meeting, we will learn about the unusual, calming properties of lavender and natural lavender oil, smelling the oils from lavender fields from different countries. Then together we will create two unique products for home spa: a rich bath salt (based on the synergy of as many as 4 unique mineral salts and dry) and a smoothing body scrub that will envelop you with a pleasant aroma for a long autumn-winter time.

The workshop will be accompanied by a unique tasting — participants will taste refreshing lavender lemonade and warming, infused tea with a hint of lavender.

The workshop will be led by Marta Binder-Osman — a passionate woman who, out of love for the garden and desire to live closer to nature, created the Garden at the Edge of the Forest — a place where she conducts gardening workshops, as well as workshops for children and women on natural methods of supporting health and well-being with herbs and essential oils.

Autumn garlands

Autumn has its colors, shapes and small treasures that ask you to keep them for longer. Therefore, during the creative workshops, unique light garlands inspired by the autumn forest will be created - full of mushrooms, acorns, leaves and other motifs that are associated with this unusual time of year. There will be cutting, painting, decorating and composing your own forest tale. From the prepared elements, everyone will create a unique decoration, choosing colors, shapes and details according to their own idea.

This is a proposal for those who like creative experiments and want to invite autumn into their interior in a slightly more artistic version. The resulting garlands can become a beautiful seasonal decoration or a colorful souvenir of the time spent together.

The workshop will be led by Natalia Hałgas — a graduate of the Academy of Arts in Szczecin in the field of Media Art and Animation, since 2024 an instructor of creative artistic activities for children.

Make your toadstool

Can autumn live in a pot? Of course! All you need is a little imagination, a few forest treasures, and in a flower pot you can close an autumn, magical tale. During the workshop, children will create their own fairy toadstools, which will inhabit small forest compositions. There will be moss, leaves, cones and other autumn treasures, from which an unusual land native to the enchanted forest will be created.

Each little artist will be able to give his toadstool his own character - decide where he will live, what to decorate it with and what forest secrets his composition will hide. It will be colorful, creative and a little magical, because the autumn forest can tell more than one story. At the end, each child will take home their own piece of enchanted forest enclosed in a pot to remind him on long autumn afternoons of the joy that comes from creative work.

The workshop will be led by Marlena Witkowska — a graduate of environmental protection, pedagogy and sensory integration, who successfully combines knowledge with passion for working with children, creating a space conducive to the development of creativity, independence and curiosity about the world.

Autumn lanterns - magic from the gifts of nature

Autumn can be beautiful even after dark - just a little warm light and a few treasures brought straight from the forest. During a unique workshop, natural lanterns will be created, which will capture the colors, textures and atmosphere of autumn nature. Colorful leaves, delicate grasses, dried flowers, twigs, cones and pieces of wood will become decorative elements of hand-composed lanterns. When the light is turned on, the natural ornaments will take on a whole new charm, creating a warm, moody decoration for autumn evenings.

It will be an encounter with nature in a creative way and an opportunity to see how much beauty can be created from what the forest and garden give us - without artificial decorations, but with a little imagination.

The workshop will be conducted by Katarzyna Paszkowska-Szczur — a biotechnologist by education, privately a mother of 2 boys. On a daily basis, a TOEE educator who combined a love of science and science with a passion for showing the world to children. Its goal is to instill in the youngest children a love of biology, chemistry and other natural sciences and to stimulate curiosity and the desire to learn through experimentation.

Autumn herbal first aid kit and home SPA

Autumn has its scents, colors and plant treasures that can become an inspiration to prepare an autumn first aid kit and a home care ritual. During the aromatic meeting, both herbal infusions and natural cosmetics will be created: body oil, scrub and herbal bath salt. Marigold, lavender, rose, cloves, orange or vanilla will allow you to create individual compositions inspired by autumn - from warm and spicy to delicate and soothing. It will be possible to learn the properties of the selected plants and learn how to use them in daily care.

Making mixtures and cosmetics with your own hands will become an opportunity to experiment creatively, but also to stop for a moment and celebrate simple, natural pleasures. Each participant will prepare their own “Autumn SPA Set”, which they will take home with them — as a fragrant souvenir and invitation to relax on an autumn evening.

The workshop will be led by Małgorzata Konefał — an experienced herbalist, instructor of cosmetic workshops based on natural ingredients, initiator of Polish herbal walks.

Botanical perfumes — workshops on creating natural fragrances

Discover the extraordinary world of natural aromas and see how much can be expressed with fragrance! During the workshop you will work with pure essential oils of therapeutic class, learning their properties and the secrets of composing your own perfumes. Together we will create fragrant compositions, combining light top notes, harmonious heart notes and a deep fragrance base.

At the end, each participant will prepare her own bottle of botanical perfume and take it home. This is an opportunity to stimulate the senses, discover new aromas and create something truly personal — a fragrance that will be yours alone.
