Dame Workshops

Dame Body Botanical Bar™

Make something that feels like you.

I bring the botanical blending table to you. Your guests learn what goes into their body care, make a blend of their own, and take home a little piece of the day.

03 · A private event

Private Botanical Beauty Bar

Bring the Botanical Bar™ to your party, corporate event, or retreat. A seated session gives guests time to learn together. A walk-up bar lets them blend at their own pace during a reception.

Learn
Explore the prepared bases and sample the botanical and aroma choices with guidance at the station.
Create
Choose a scrub station, a body oil station, or ask for a combination. We’ll plan the station flow around your space, schedule, and guest count.
Take home
One labeled scrub or oil per guest in the standard format. Ask about a second creation, custom packaging, or guest gifts.

60–90 minutes and typically 10–40 guests for a standard guided session. Walk-up timing and capacity are planned with you.

Custom quote based on headcount, service window, stations, and staffing.

Inquire about a Private Bar

Standard materials, containers, labels, and facilitation are included. Your proposal confirms take-home sizes, travel, and any upgrades.

Make it yours

Build a blend with your own personality.

Start with a professionally prepared Dame Body base. I’ll show you how to personalize it with the workshop’s curated ingredients.

Explore bright citrus, fruity, floral, warm, or fresh herbal aromas. The final menu depends on the season, venue, and what works for your group.

Give the gathering your own touch.

Ask about custom event labels, seasonal themes, larger take-home sizes, upgraded packaging, host or guest gifts, printed ritual cards, additional sessions, or a Dame Body shopping table.

Ask early about unscented or reduced-fragrance choices and ingredient accommodations so we can plan the menu together.

Your host checklist

Here’s what we each bring.

I bring the Botanical Bar.

  • Prepared bases, curated ingredients, and all standard measuring and blending tools.
  • Containers, labels, take-home packaging, and use and care guidance.
  • Setup, hands-on instruction, and cleanup of the workshop materials.

You set the scene.

  • Provide worktables, chairs, clear pathways, good lighting, nearby handwashing, and a trash receptacle. A 6-foot table usually seats four to six makers comfortably.
  • Plan for about 60 minutes of setup access and 30–45 minutes for breakdown. Larger or multi-station events may need more time.
  • Share parking and load-in details, venue rules, and any accessibility or supervision needs. For outdoor events, plan shade, level work surfaces, and a weather backup.
Dame Sannae Hopson, founder and workshop facilitator of Dame Body

Meet your host

Hey Dame, I’m Sannae.

I founded Dame Body in Los Angeles in 2012. I’m a certified herbal skincare formulator and holistic health and wellness practitioner. I started teaching botanical body care at The Springs in Los Angeles and went on to teach at Craftcation and lead hands-on community and private workshops.

“Dame Sannae taught attendees how to make natural bath products including scrubs, bath bombs and body washes.”

A few things hosts ask

Before we mix.

Can I book a workshop for a school or youth group?

Yes. Share the age range, group size, learning goals, and supervision plan. I’ll confirm an age-appropriate activity, materials, and pace. Teachers, chaperones, or other required support staff remain with the group. Ask for a school proposal and tell me about any vendor or purchase-order requirements.

Can you adapt the workshop for my guests?

Share mobility, seating, dexterity, hearing, vision, language, or sensory needs in advance. We can discuss seated stations, simpler steps, large-print instructions, or an adjusted pace. Please coordinate venue access and any personal support your guests require.

What if someone has an ingredient or fragrance sensitivity?

Tell me about group-level restrictions before we finalize your menu. Depending on the activity, we may be able to omit optional fragrance or botanicals. Shared materials and workspaces can carry a risk of cross-contact, so please discuss serious sensitivities with me in advance.

Can I book for more guests than the suggested group size?

Tell me how many guests will participate and how much time you have. Rotating stations, separate sessions, or extra facilitators may suit a larger group.

Where do you travel?

I’m based in Livingston, Alabama, and serve West Alabama and the Meridian and East Mississippi area. For other locations, share your venue city and ZIP so I can review availability and quote any travel costs.

What if our headcount or date changes?

Get in touch as early as you can. Your proposal and agreement explain the deadlines for adjusting the final headcount and the terms for rescheduling or canceling.

What should guests bring or wear?

Standard supplies are included. Wear comfortable clothes you can mix in, and keep food and drinks away from the blending tables. Bring any personal accessibility items you normally use.

Can guests take photos?

We’ll agree on photography before the event. Please share any venue or organization policies. Identifiable participant photos are used only with the appropriate permissions.

Let’s plan your event

Request a workshop proposal.

Tell me what you’re celebrating or what you want your group to learn. I’ll review availability and recommend a format for your guests.

In your message, include your workshop choice, event type, preferred date, city and venue, guest count, age range, goals, budget, and any add-ons, group accommodations, or institutional purchasing requirements.
