Plus new soaps, Sean's yarn destash, and today's the last day for 10% off herbs.
Dear STRŌB Community,
Happy Sunday, friends. This email is going to be a super long one because we have a lot of things going on this week and just had a whole bunch of new things pop up. We really appreciate you keeping up on our news!!!
🌙 Friday: Sip & Paint · Paint Your Chart
Friday, September 11 · 6:30-8:30pm · $20
Tea, astrology, and painting your nails to match your birth chart, this is a mystic manicure evening with community, and it's exactly as fun as it sounds. Still a few tickets left.

🌿 Saturday: Elderberry Syrup & Fire C***r with Sean 🌿
Saturday, September 12 · 2-4pm · $65
Come make your own elderberry syrup and fire c***r with our clinical herbalist Sean, two of the most beloved autumn immune-support traditions, hands-on, from ingredients to bottle. You leave with both, plus the technique to make them again on your own. The class is just over half full and there's room for a few more.

💚 Come Sit with Sean for a Mini-Clinical 💚
Sean is at the shop every Friday, 12-8pm, with clinical herbalism mini-consults from 3-6pm. Twenty minutes, one-on-one. There is no cost, to not discourage anyone from seeking help, but Sean gratefully accepts donations for his time and expertise. Walk in, or book ahead (https://www.strobapothecary.com/s/appointments) if you'd rather have a set time waiting.
If there's something you've been quietly navigating and thought maybe an herbalist could help, this is what he's here for.

🧼 New Soaps on the Shelf 🧼
Our soap section has returned with two new soapmakers:
Madame Herb — Lakisha has added a new self-love soap to her line, and it's on the shelf now.
Gray Goat Soaps — a small local business new to us, with beautifully crafted soaps made from locally-sourced ingredients; including milk from their own goats. Come see what they've brought.
🌱 Herb Wall Restocks (and Today's the Last Day for 10% Off in-person) 🌱
Calendula is back, plus a beautiful round of local-grown restocks: Catnip, Lemon Balm, Passionflower, Holy Basil, Monarda, Motherwort, and Wood Betony.
And a heads up: today is the last day for 10% off all herbs in-store. Online orders can use the discount through end-of-day September 7th. If you've been meaning to stock up, this is the moment.

🧶 Yarn at $2/Skein 🧶
Sean is parting with a curated portion of his (extensive) yarn collection, and it's now at the shop for $2 per skein. Come rummage if you knit, crochet, or know someone who does.
🍃 September 26th: Free Foraging Walk with Lakisha 🍃
Saturday, September 26 · 1-3pm · Free ·
A new offering we're excited about. Our root woman Lakisha Doyle (Madame Herb) is leading a free outdoor mini clinic on foraging for spiritual bath herbs.
Meet at STRŌB at 1pm, then travel together to spots Lakisha has scouted where the herbs are already growing. You'll learn how to spot them in their natural settings, how to gather with respect and intention, and how to turn what you find into spiritual baths, a practice long used to keep balance and tend the spirit.
Lakisha calls this a class in spirit hygiene, the everyday care of keeping yourself clear and grounded. You'll leave knowing how to see your surroundings differently and how to bring a simple bath practice home with you.
Dress for walking outdoors, wear comfortable shoes. Free to attend.

🌲 September 26th Morning: Movement & Tea with Diane 🌲
Saturday, September 26 · 10am-12pm
Before the foraging walk, come move through an autumn forest of scent and tea with Diane Yates. Guided movement, aroma, and sipping, from the deep, ancient heart of the forest to the sunlit woodland edge.
Diane brings over forty years as a dancer, African drummer, instructor, and maker across music, painting, textiles, and words. She holds it all as one language.
Wear comfortable clothes and come fragrance-free so everyone can fully experience the aromas of the journey.

🕯️ Behind the Counter: Olivia's Perfumery Corner 🕯️
A small note from Olivia:
She's been so grateful to be back in her element, marrying aromatherapy with perfumery, that she's been carving out time each day to create new perfume accords. If the shop smells particularly wonderful when you walk in, that's why. And if you have a minute and want her to talk your ear off about her special interest, just ask what she's been up to. She'd love to share.
