Join me this Sunday at 2pm for a spring forage walk with qigong practice.

This class will be taking a tour of my backyard and surrounding woods.

Celebrate spring by getting outside and learning how to forage! In this workshop you will learn how to identify different wild edible and medicinal plants that grow in the spring.

We will learn about spring edibles such as trout lilies, fiddleheads, ramps, nettles, Dryad's saddle, and morels.

Learn what mother earth has to offer for food, medicine, and more...

Class will begin with opening Qi gong exercises to help us get grounded and connected to the earth!

There will be a 45-minute lecture portion where you will learn how to positively ID plant and mushroom species from any possible look-a-likes. We will then go on a 45 minute walk to practice plant and mushroom ID.

This is a collaborative workshop with Erik Harris, founder of Chi for Healing, and Amy of the CT Foraging club.Cost is $30 per person.

Even though it was a pretty intense winter this year, it will be great for the environment. Hopefully we will have less bugs, even though I have already pulled some ticks off of my dog. The long snow pack will be good for the plants and mushrooms though for sure. I already have gotten some mushrooms from my shiitake logs and all the plants are popping everywhere. I really love this time of year! Even if you can't join me this weekend, I hope you get to spend a lot of time outside to connect with nature.

Join us on 3/28 from 2-5 PM for an immersive workshop on Auriculotherapy, also known as ear acupuncture or ear reflexology.

This alternative medicine technique is based on the concept that the ear serves as a micro-system, reflecting the entire body through acupoints located on the auricle (the outer portion of the ear).

By stimulating specific areas of the ear, Auriculotherapy offers a holistic approach to treating physical, mental, and emotional conditions.In this workshop, you will learn about the acupoints in the ear, each corresponding to different areas of the body. We will highlight the most effective points for common conditions.

Through hands-on practice, you'll explore how to administer seeds using an ear probe and a hemostat.
Vaccaria seeds, gold, silver, and magnets are used to target specific health concerns. You will learn why we choose each kind.

Unlike traditional needles, the ear seeds can stay on for up to a week, offering lasting relief from ailments like headaches, pain in the back, neck, shoulders, knees and other joints, as well as stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, and more.

You’ll also gain insight into protocols designed to assist with addiction, including smoking cessation and overcoming drug dependence.

Auriculotherapy offers a powerful tool for both quick relief and long-term healing, and this workshop is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about this gentle, yet effective, therapy.

🎟️ Investment: $99 (includes starter ear seed kit)

Happy Winter Solstice. I found this beautiful prayer and used it as part of my solstice ceremony today. May these words ring true for you as we move through the wheel of the year and make way for 2026!

A Solstice Prayer (author unknown)

Beginning now, I choose to walk in a new way on planet Earth, to attune to her as I remember cosmic truth and embody my divine purpose.

I forgive myself and others and open my heart to receive the infinite blessings of divine love flowing throughout the universe and coursing through my very veins.

As I attune to the Earth, the Moon, the planet and star beings in the heavens, I breathe with universal forces of creation. Divine Source enters me, filling the cells and spaces of my being with pure love and light. I am healed, whole, and renewed.

May I be gentle with myself and others as pain, fear and suffering are released. I bless all I encounter and embrace my fellow beings, all situations and circumstances, all thoughts, feelings and emotions, as reflections of my own divinity.

I joyfully claim my destiny as a force for positive change at this turning point in Earth's history. Together with my brothers and sisters of all colors and faiths, I will shape the future in ways that serve humanity's highest evolution and fulfill the needs of generations yet to come.

Aligned in truth, I am.
