“ In order to start the mythic journey to end our suffering, we need to enter into a real and dynamic dialogue with our heart”

⭐️

These are complicated times and our hearts are holding so much. For me, these last 18 months have been up and down and everything in between… walking this tender and wild territory has brought me to my very edges…and then taken me further….it has been terrifying and exhilarating.

⭐️

In the midst of it all, I have been unbelievably grateful for the support of the plants and practices that bring me back to my roots- that me tether me to this earth, this body, this heart. 💗

Out of all this, I was inspired to create “Whole Hearted Nourishment” a program, a resting spot, a soulful journey into what it means to nourish ourselves well.

⭐️

This is a tuning in so that we can more fully give back without depletion. A way of walking with ourselves and receiving the essence we need to light our lives on fire.

⭐️

Join me in a 8 week sweet and playful exploration of what it means to do the work of deep self-care. Whole Hearted Nourishment is a journey of showing up to our own body, heart, story and edges- and finding how sweet it is to find our way home.

⭐️

If you are feeling the call to slow down, tend, and get curious with your body, and heart, send me a PM and we can chat about whether this offering is a good fit for YOU.

⭐️

A tiny taste of info:

We will be looking at the ways to use traditional herbal preparations, embodied meditation and simple Ayurvedic principals of restoration to bring a river of energy back into weary bones.

- all my love 🔥🌹

Summer harvest. 🌾

Soaking in these last days of warmth while feeling the change in the air...it always feels bitter sweet. 🍃

This summer felt especially full and ripe in ways that gives me pause and lands me on my knees. 🥀 -and yet, I ADORE Fall and am struck by the sweet anticipation of all that Fall brings...

I find myself straddling desire- loving what was AND letting it go as a new season unfolds.

This crossover time feels pungent and fertile.
My invitation to you (and a way of reminding myself):

go slow with this turn, 🍃
drink it in like only you know how. 🍂
Savor, sip and feel into all the places that light you up, ✨
turn you on, 🍂
let you feel 🍃
a little more fleshy 💫

Honor all that showed up this summer and take the sun with you deep into your bones...gather your harvest for the months ahead...these are precious days 🌻

This place brings me so much joy. It’s my post therapy hangout where I can get delicious food, warm loose leaf tea and take in the gorgeous London Plane trees towering in the sun (or rain) ☔️
🌱
I really notice how affected I am by my environment, to have light and plants in the middle of down town is a privilege and a joy that I relish deeply- I wish for us all to find pockets of beauty and delight that let our nervous systems relax and sink into the moment- city or in nature, our eyes and spirits need it.

Today I woke up disoriented and sad. I didn’t want to meet the day, everything felt like just TOO MUCH. It’s not that anything terrible happened or that there was anything I could pinpoint that I was dreading about my day. In fact, the sun was shining and I had a wide open calendar to schedule as I pleased...but I was overwhelmed by every thought I had and felt this dark veil in my heart and mind. I know you know this place too dear ones 🌾 your own flavor of meeting the grit and grief of life day after day and how it can sometimes be one day too many...not to mention that just looking at what’s happening all around the world is enough to break your heart ten times over. Just knowing the very real everyday trauma that exists for so many moment by moment. And it can paralyze me.

And this morning there was this crucial moment where I had to remember that this feeling of disorientation is an invitation- and invitation to come back to my body in a concrete and tangible way.
It didn’t happen right away. But I know my tools, I know my body as a compass that leads me home, I know that yoga and breath are my medicine and I know that sometimes I have to drink coffee first, and maybe have some cinnamon toast, and step outside to feel the cool air and see rosemary growing steadily, (all these are medicine for me too ☕️)...and then I come back to my mat and begin to practice. Just 15 minutes even, just a few slow sweet breaths, sun salutations and some deep twists...and my mind settles and the ache in my heart begins to feel like a guiding light rather than a storm I’m trying to outrun.
And I remember that this body and my breath lets me access my inner compass, my heart knowing, and let’s me remember why I love and what I’m here to do today in this crazy messy and beautiful world ♥️
Tell me your stories of journey back to your inner knowing...how do you find your way home?

“There is no place like home.” 💫
(Wizard of Oz analogies kept showing up last week.)
Part of our retreat theme was homecoming- a coming home to our body, our first home, our life long home. We explored how our nervous system influences and impacts how we show up and the quality of our experience in our body, and in our everyday life. The particularity of this challenge is deeply shaped by our personal histories and what our bodies have had to hold and metabolize...each story so different.... and it is our job and privilege to find the practices and supports that will help us to restore our nervous system and hence, our sense of wellbeing. 💫 this is deep and sacred work. It is an everyday work. A work of reclamation. 🌟

This picture was from our final retreat day, a sweet reminder, (courtesy of Jane), of the journey we are on, this perplexing, crazy journey the we negotiate everyday to make our way home to our one precious body.
🌟
It is a journey of revelation and remembrance. The revelation that you have what you need, and that you have always had what you need. It is the journey of remembrance, a remembering of our true nature, and the remembrance of our body as home, a home we want to return to and live in fully and freely.
💕

We discovered a sweet apothecary like shop in Port Townsend, called Prima Materia- it felt like stepping into another world- beautiful stones and herbs...essential oils and hoops hanging from the ceiling. It was transportive- a perfect rain day escape. For all you locals- check it out!

Medicine: Last night I was on the side of this cliff looking up at a flood of stars while sitting in the stunning hot springs of Esalen. I had heard of these fabled springs but didn’t imagine that they would be as amazing as they sounded. Indeed they are. ✨
And it reminded me how important it is to take time away from the usual distractions and demands of daily life so that I can hear my heart beat again, hear my breath, touch the earth more fully and remember what I love in great detail. 🌱
I remembered that my heart is big, that I love big, that I desire big and that I love all the bits of this beautiful and messy life. This remembering is my medicine. It brings me home to my truest self. It restores my soul.
Tell me, what is your medicine?💫🔥🦋

Winter walks on these last days of 2018 in beautiful Cle Elum. Oregon grape root is one our most abundant medicines in the PNW. It’s resilience is amazing, bringing integrity and strength to our digestive system and support for immune system. I like to add a dropperful of the tincture in warm water as daily winter drink to support the lining of the gut and increase digestive fire. Grateful for the abundance that is with us everywhere ❄️🌿❄️
