At long last - Spring has arrived!
And with that, the thaw, which reveals whats been left behind,
and we continue to respond.

Small steps, a full cart, and a little voice always asking for one more.

This is how we care — for the land, for each other and our community.

Marshmellows straight from the Root!

I overcame my fear of "messing it up" to simply (and not so simply) try.

This is my first time making healthy, homemade marshmellows but the benefits are undeniable!

🌿 Althaea officinalis (Marshmallow Root)
Was once the star ingredient in our beloved seasonal drinks favourite topping. Before modern science and the need for convenience has made this once healing treat into a science experiment without benefit to our bodies.

🤍 Marshmellow Root 🤍

1. Soothes the throat 🤒
Marshmallow root is rich in mucilage — a gel-like substance that coats and calms irritated tissues. That scratchy throat, dry cough, winter air fatigue? It’s holds and protects your throat from winters wear and tear.

2. Supports digestion 🔥
That same mucilage gently lines the digestive tract, helping with irritation, reflux, and general gut inflammation. Gentle Protection that Restores

3. Anti-inflammatory properties ❄️
Traditionally used to calm irritated tissues internally and externally. It’s one of those plants that works by soothing, not forcing.

4. Moisture from the inside out 🌊
In herbalism, it’s considered a demulcent — meaning it helps hydrate dry tissues. Helpful in dry climates, cold seasons, or when your system just feels depleted.

In a world where perfection is idealized, dont be afraid to do your best, and see what happens!

You'll likely be surprised with its outcome ✨️

Welcome ✨️ Year of the Fire Horse.

Where we honour the destructive & regenerative powers of Fire 🔥
alongside the conscious presence & momentum of the Horse 🐎

Not only are still shedding the skins of the past and what no longer fits... 🐍
but we are transitioning to this new, determined and consistent energy
Emphasized by the power of a New Moon AND a Lunar Eclipse 🌑

If things feel hectic and exceptionally stressful today or over the next few weeks, know this...

This is the final shedding.
The final release,
of what no longer serves you. ✨️

Don't push to tackle the next big move quite yet. Be consistent on what needs to be completed, what needs releasing and then give yourself time and patience.

Be within yourself, align with what's to come. Fire is clearing the way for you, the Horse, to move forward with speed, confidence and determination.

Comment 🐎 to accept and align with this energy 🙏

How do you know where to go?
What path to take?
Then when you do decide, there's a need for clarity or results...
Is this the right way for me?
If so, how do I know?
and of course
When will I see the effects of my decision? .
Know that you are exactly where you should be.
When you should be there.
Trust that will get there when you're ready & when you need to be there.
It may not always be direct, or easy but what you need to learn is along the journey.
Not in the destination.

Its not a fluke
Its not a trend
Its returning home

To what our ancestors knew long ago that the modern (and not so modern) world beat us, killed us and shunned us to forget.

Find strength and alignment within yourself and the world around us.

There is true power there ✨️

Always love seeing this hint of a rainbow 🌈

Sun dogs (parhelia) are rare light phenomena formed when sunlight refracts through ice crystals in the atmosphere. Across cultures, they’ve been seen as symbols of hope, guidance, protection, and alignment—often interpreted as moments when the natural and spiritual worlds briefly mirror one another.

Some traditions view them as omens of change, others as ancestral reminders or signals of unity and balance. At their core, sun dogs invite pause: a reminder that clarity often appears when conditions align—both in nature and in life.

Science explains the how. Meaning comes from what we notice.
