In the summer of 2023, Wythe and Berry founder Elisabeth Vlasic visited Washington state where she participated in a week-long retreat led by hydrosol distillation queen, Ann Harman. Further, Ann unexpectedly announced at this retreat that it was her last cohort of in-person students she would teach. As of now, Ann is retired. Ann's experience and knowledge have been invaluable to Elisabeth, and she is grateful to count Ann as another superstar teacher she learned from, which she is now passing on to those who travel to upstate New York to learn distillation processes from her.
