Tired of toxic ingredients or can’t find scents that you absolutely love?

Make your own creams!

Learn the essential equipment needed, the ingredients & the range of tolerances to create your own successful creams for time to come.  You will learn all of this and be inspired for more in this 1 hour class!

I demonstrate the magic of emulsification as we create a batch of Every Body’s Cream.

Together, we make the food-based, preservative-free Every Body’s Cream and discuss the practical aspects of a range of possible substitutions & embellishments and if the crowd desires, we explore the sublime and spiritual aspects of various plants and flower essences.

Learn the minimum needed for a successful batch of cream and the places where you may play, get creative and think way outside of the box of a typical store-brand cream.

Each participant receives their own  sample of the simple, pure, & luxurious cream as well as a printed recipe to confidently create creams for life to come!

Please join me, I am happy to teach your group of friends or seekers, perhaps you wish to commemorate a significant birthday or event.  This is a great class for team building and play! 🙂

Hydrosols & Vibrational Sprays

Hydrosols & Vibrational Sprays

Lavender Hydrosol

Lavender Hydrosol

Created naturally from a steam distillation process of Abbott Hollow grown lavender blossoms in their most fragrant budding flower phase. We harvest the herbs in the morning and immediately begin the distillation process (a 2-3 hour process) This hydrosol smells and “feels” heavenly, filled with the vibration of lavandula’s true essence! The lavender distillate has similar properties to an essential oil, but is less concentrated and thus ready to use in its hydrosol phase. Add to foods and beverages, to your creams as the water portion or use directly as a facial toner, aura or room spray.

Vibrational Spray

Vibrational Spray

(a hydrosol enhanced with flower essences) Our pure lavender hydrosol combined with a proprietary blend of flower essences, is a spray formulated to soothe unreachable places within. The flower essences in this blend are specifically chosen to support the release of fears, especially for dogs.  It is nice for humans too.

To use: Spray in a room or space, on a pillow or directly onto your aura, face and body. Can be used as a “smokeless smudge”.

Safe for all ages and pets too.

Honoring these Lands

Plant Ally

There is a depth of spiritual and physical sustenance offered from the trees, the many wild creatures and the elemental beings such as boulder, running water, blowing wind and the plants of these lands. We are blessed & privileged to live upon and among these great beings. We are honored to respect and care for the beings living here, to care for Mother Earth and receive her gift of connecting with ourselves and our ancestors and the historical ancestors of these lands.

These 5 acres have many ecosystems with a boggy, marshy, wet area and nearby swamp to the south, a hemlock – beech – oak woodlands ridge to the west leading to a deep hollow in the north which gives rise to a ridge named Abbott Hill. From there the rich soils supporting sweet birch, ash and pine flow to the east. American hops hornbeam, witch hazel, maple and dogwood live amongst us.

We effort to conserve the many plant and tree species here by terracing with fallen branches and trees. We effort to provide safe grounds for our many visitors of turtles, red efts, wild turkey, fox, bear, barred owls and red shouldered hawks. We witness the power of these creatures, the winds and water as we honor this rugged environment.

Abbott Hollow Sanctuary is for educating, stewarding and partnering with the earth! We work to regenerate and revitalize the landscape, while we protect it and grow habitat for wildlife.

Evolving Together

Process

We grow seedlings from seeds we previously collected, often from plants grown on Abbott Hollow grounds, but also from other places, such as the gardens of friends and relatives. This practice feeds our connections to our ancestors and friends and I feel the light of their spirits in our new plant friends.  We have an outdoor “nursery” where new plants are tended as they gain strength. Once we are confident in their ability to thrive these rugged highlands, we bring them to the broader gardens to brave the wilder lands.

Walking the grounds and gardens each day, we perceive changes from the day before and sometimes from earlier that same day! We might see a footprint, or hoof print, a swelling bud, an opening flower or new shoots from seeds rising above the soil. These observations guide our actions and priorities for the day, week and sometimes seasons ahead.

We are so grateful for the privilege and honor of living here and supporting these grounds.

We harvest only plants that are  abundant in quantity and plentifully healthy. They may be dried and made into teas or infused oils, or they may be used fresh and made into hydrosols, tinctures, elixirs, or beverages. We dry bundles of lavender and mugwort and braid sweet grass.  We strive to celebrate the plants and feature them in our products and classes.

My journey:

I began making these products because of my sensitive skin and because I wanted to limit the exposure of myself and family to unnecessary chemicals and toxic additives.

I want to feed my skin, inside and out, with nourishment, with food, with love and with care.

Humans and plants have evolved together over the entire time of human existence.  I believe they are a key to our true contentment.

I hope to foster connection and appreciation between humans and the natural world, for the good of all. I hope to bring the blessing of their physical and spiritual sustenance & nourishment to all whom I meet in this blessed work.

We would like to acknowledge that this land, which we have vowed to tend and be in relationship with, is located in the unceded ancestral homelands of the Pocumtuc Nation. We offer our gratitude to the Indigenous peoples who have lived here and continue to live in this region. We wish to recognize the ongoing responsibility and relationship we have to the land, its Native and Indigenous stewards and all guests that gather here.

“I LOVE my lavender and rose tinctures!  In the coldness of winter, a drop of these makes me feel like spring is not far away.”

R.H.

“I have been using Jiyanna’s Mineral Flower Grain Facial Scrub and Lotion Potion for about a month and they have totally cleared my skin!  I have tried every product I could find for the past 15 years, but nothing actually worked to heal my skin until I used Jiyanna’s products.  They are made with love, integrity and absolutely the best ingredients.  I highly recommend anything she creates.”

R.M.

“My pores have never been so clear and tight since I’ve been using your scrub!  Wish I had it in my teens and 20’s.”

“Jiyanna, I am in LOVE with the products I brought home a few days ago.  Whenever someone new shows up at our house, I offer them a drop of your divine and powerful lavender elixir.  It is pure magic – one drop on the tongue fills my entire being with the taste and energy of lavender.  Thank you for your beautiful relationship with the plant spirits and for your meticulous preparation of these sacred medicines.  I am so grateful.”

B.M.

“I really like the  muscle mend salve-the scent (clove!!), the slight tingly burning when first applied, the smooth and soothed feeling afterward.”

A.V.

“I am a huge fan of Jiyanna Rose’s, herbal and self-care products. I have been using them for years now and can attest to both their quality and deeply healing medicine. I greatly enjoyed working with her special Abbott Hollow lavender glycerin which promoted deep relaxation to my mind and body during times of great stress. Additionally, I have worked with her peony and Tulsi hydrosols at the height of summer and have found them to be cooling refreshing and revitalizing for my skin. She also has a phenomenal line of rose day cream, which has left my skin filled with moisture an exquisite smell and super soft feel. I would recommend any of her herbal products to those who are looking to improve the quality and depth of their self-care and health journey. It is evident to me from the quality of these products and from what I have witnessed in person at Abbott Hollow how deeply connected she is to sourcing the ingredients in a mindful and dedicated manner. I believe this has a direct impact on the profound quality and healing effects of her medicines.  I would highly recommend giving them a try. Gratitude and Love.”
