On Sunday, September 28, a group of neighbors and friends will come together for something special called Autumn Alchemy: A DIY Herbal Body Oil Workshop. It’s a seasonal gathering built around the idea of creating a nourishing body oil that feels personal and rooted in autumn’s energy. People will get the chance to craft something useful and soothing for their skin, while also sharing the experience with others in the community.
The workshop runs for two hours and is designed to be very hands-on. Everyone attending will be guided through the process of making their own body oil, with herbs and blends chosen to match their own needs and preferences. By the end, each person leaves not just with knowledge but also with a bottle of customized oil they made themselves. It’s both practical and creative, and the kind of event that gives a sense of connection as much as a finished product.
The gathering will be held at Baddie Tattoos Studio, located at 195 New York Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07307. The space is known locally as more than just a tattoo studio—it’s a spot that often welcomes creative events like this one. It’s easy to find and adds to the sense of being part of something local and community-driven.
Tickets for the workshop are priced at $58.85. That covers the full experience, including all supplies, the instructions, and the final product you take home. It’s an in-person event only, which makes it a nice change of pace from the online routines many of us are used to. There’s value in being there in person, working with your hands, and sharing the process with others.
The event begins at 2 p.m. and runs until 4 p.m. on that Sunday afternoon. The timing is intentional—it gives people the chance to slow down for a couple of hours, settle into the rhythm of the season, and still carry the sense of calm into the rest of their day.
