Sauna at the Cottage
Springtime Sauna, Cold Plunge and Botanical Reed Diffuser Workshop - Saturday, 17th April 2027 - 3.30-7.30pm - £69
The Sauna at the Cottage, Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, GL19 4LA
Enjoy a Spring afternoon/evening in a beautiful outdoor setting in this utterly unique collaboration between Sauna at the Cottage and Time to Burn.
We begin the afternoon with an invigorating, refreshing and yet relaxing cold plunge and sauna session in the woodfired outdoor sauna. This is a really unique venue, and it is such a calming setting - in the middle of the Gloucestershire countryside.
We will then warm up in the on site yurt, which is lit with fairy lights, to learn how to create a reed diffuser using 25% natural essential oils and craft a gorgeous dried flower mini bouquet to add to your reeds.
In our workshops, you’ll dive into the art and science of scent creation using essential oils, learning how to create a powerful clean scent. Hannah will guide you through the chemistry of marrying natural essential oils to make your own truly unique reed diffuser that lasts up to 3 months.
Warm up with hot drinks which can be purchased from the little shop on site.
Our Workshop Explained...
Natural Reed Diffuser Workshop
Hannah, who has been creating essential oil scent blends for years, will guide you through the whole process step by step. We will dive into the science behind scent creation, exploring the fragrance pyramid with 18 pure natural essential oils to choose from. You will craft your own unique perfume blend using a high 25% oil concentration, choosing your preferred glass jar or vase, and transforming it into a custom diffuser that will fill your home with fragrance for up to 3 months.
Build Your Dried Flower Bouquet To finish up, you will build a custom reed bouquet to sit inside your diffuser jar using dried lavender, wheat stalks, and other natural stems. Head home at around 12.15 (perfect timing for you to head to Rosara or elsewhere for lunch) with a genuinely impressive, great-smelling creation! Hannah provides a bag for you to take your item home (with another free little surprise scented item inside) so you don't need to bring anything to put your diffuser in.
