Natural Soap Making Workshop; with Odoyá

Odoyá will share with you years of making soap, with beautiful butters that she brings from Amazonia (Brasil) and Olive Oil from from Alentejo (Portugal).

We will learn a bit of theory and how to make a soap recipe together. This course will show you how to  use utensils that you have already at home, how to prepare a gift and/or just to change habits! 

Making soap is a mystery, a gift, a blessing! 

Odoyá’s journey talks about the Micro Revolution: about what we can do in order to live in more harmony with Nature and our Body - “Our body is our first home; our home is the extension of our body; our great Mother Earth is the extention of all these”. We usually use and abuse of what our homes have to offer and we forget, in the rush of life, that we need to care of them with affection and love. We take a lot and give very little! 

We will make 1 kg of natural soap.

You will take with you 1 bar of a natural soap, aprox. 100g
