Sunrise and sunset. Wishing you all a restful and reflective Solstice.

In Chinese medicine this is considered to be the peak of winter, not the beginning. The days are beginning to get longer as of tomorrow. Unless, of course, you celebrate like some of the old pagans and believe the sun to "die" for a few days before rising again in the form of longer days ahead;)

Even though the days are beginning to get longer, the deep cold is still ahead of us. Rest easy, stay warm, hibernate as deeply as you can.

The next year beckons, who will we become?

Just a few notes after the tincture workshop up at yesterday! Make sure if you're tincturing dry herbs that when you fill the jar with alcohol, the herbs continue to stay submerged! Otherwise they'll get mold or it'll go bad. Shake daily and enjoy 🙂

Wrapping up the last clients of 2024 today... what an amazing year.

This year, I was able to come back into the same treatment space that I had left at the end of 2022, and truly it was as if I never left. This space, my clients, the land and the neighborhood which this space is on and in... they are all deep blessings to me. If the work I put out is as rich of a blessing to others as it is to me, I count myself beyond lucky.

I'm looking forward to 2025 being a year full of the deep blessings of tight knit community - may you be soft and take no 💩

And, keep an eye out for new offerings coming soon! Wishing you all a Solstice that quiets your soul and clarifies your path... 🙏

Dr. Fritz Smith, founder of Zero Balancing, passed away last week. He was a profoundly special person, and I feel interwoven waves of grief and joyful gratitude for his loss and for all he brought into this world.

I wrote a longer tribute to Fritz in my most recent newsletter (hit that bio to read), so I won't type as much here. In short, I believe the world will forever be a better place for having him in it - his impact will ripple out as long as there is a universe to ripple. Certainly, my life is profoundly better for having met him, and learned from him.

Fritz passed just a few days before around 100 of us were to gather for his 95th birthday. Just as the system of Zero Balancing that Fritz created is richly amazing, so is the community that has built up around the practice and the teaching of this work - how special to be able to gather with fellow faculty, practitioners, and mentors to be able to celebrate his passing together.

With Love and Gratitude 🙏

*First picture is when I first met Fritz and became certified, 10 years ago or so :)
