This June I am getting back to some of my mixed media art passion and co-teaching an amazing retreat with Dr. Minette Riordan in Manitou Springs. There will be art making, herbal wisdom, sacred space held in community and of course fun and joy! Minette and I have co-taught several times and we tend to make magic! Here are some details and the link to register is in comments.

The Elemental Wisdom Retreat - Creative Medicine for the Soul
June 9–13, 2026 | Private Location | Manitou Springs, CO
Tap Into the Rhythms of Nature and Your Own Artistic Truth
Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak amid the sacred red-rock canyons and mineral springs of Manitou Springs—land revered for its healing waters by Native tribes for generations —this retreat is crafted for those who long to awaken through creative alchemy.

Step into the magic and beauty of Manitou Spring—our retreat will be hosted in a private home with beautiful light, gorgeous views and both inside and outside spaces for creating and connecting.

During our time together, we will be drawing, painting, writing and creating a suite of divine feminine archteypal characters. This is a retreat where alchemy, soul, and story converge, and everyday materials become conduits for transformation.
Come grow as an artist, root into your own story, and rekindle a sense of belonging through the faces of the maiden, mother, wise woman, crone and medial woman archetypes

Here is what you will experience as an attendee of The Elemental Wisdom Retreat
✔ 4.5 days of creative immersion at a private residence in Manitou Springs, CO

It’s a snow day! So we are CLOSED!

All across the city our staff is dealing with various levels of snow, so to keep them safe, we are making it mandatory to stay home, snuggle up, and drink some hot chocolate.

Our website is always open! We will see you all tomorrow, Saturday January 10th.

There are some big things happening at Anna's Apothecary-after spending all year rooting in, we are evolving. Link in comments to read my reflections and gratitude for all we accomplished in 2025 and the threshold we are crossing in 2026.

"Wow. I can hardly believe we are standing at the threshold of 2026.
2025 has been a year that changed me—and this apothecary—in ways I’m still finding words for. In March, I was entrusted with the stewardship of Anna’s Apothecary, and since that moment my life has unfolded in the most humbling, demanding, and deeply joyful ways. I stepped into a living ecosystem already held together by the devotion of the former owners, an extraordinary staff, and a community of customers who truly care about plants, place, and people.I get to spend time with some of the most amazing women on my staff, I get to interact with customers to assist in using herbs to restore or maintain their vitality, I get to work with the plants and the wisdom they have to share with us, I get to support farmers and vendors that are stewards of the Earth and its restoration, and I get to do it in the amazing community of Manitou Springs. I am truly humbled. I am thankful for all customers both long time and new, from near and far, for all those that traveled to Manitou and walked through our doors and continue to support us from all over the country. I am and always have been a Servant leader. I exist to serve my customers and my staff in the best way I know how through support, guidance, non-judgement, and making the staff’s lives easier through good systems and processes so they can fully focus on being great herbal educators and remedy makers. I believe that is how reciprocity works."

New Year’s Day isn’t about becoming a “new you.”
It’s about showing up as the regulated you.

We’re big fans of:
• releasing before calling in
• nourishing before striving
• supporting the nervous system instead of giving in to hustle culture

If your 2026 intention “be more embodied” - we see you and WE’RE HERE FOR IT!

We invite you today to build a tea, grab a tincture, or just exist quietly for a minute.

The Winter Solstice is my favorite High Holy Day in my honoring of the seasonal turns of the wheel. A time to honor the darkness, embrace the slowing down that our bodies naturally feel and at the same time celebrating the returning of the light. It's a period of allowing ourselves to release what is no longer serving us to make space for going into a deep dreaming and visioning time, to REALLY feel what wants to be nourished as we emerge into Spring. The magic of the Solstice is subtle...unless of course you are ready to really burn away a lot of things that don't serve you. I have done that in years past and now I am in a place where there is very little in my life that doesn't serve me and my life has moved more into how can I serve others.

That is the blessing of doing this type of seasonal honoring and living within the cycles, year after year, I grow and transform, and I simplify. Through this work I have moved into a place of surrendering to the beauty of life and my experiences and a discontinuing of striving, forcing, "crushing goals" and are able to celebrate each and every step on the journey, in present time.

My biggest dream in my sacred work is to see all women more towards that place of allowing and recognizing the magic in all of life, not just the huge goals. To read the full article including some plant rituals ideas and teas see link in comments.

What started out as an experiment by our production manager quickly became a “make that ASAP” situation when I hugged her and felt how soft her skin was. 😂

If you love the smell and warmth chai brings, you’ll LOVE this chai body polish!

Dina making ‘Silent Night’ salt soak for the Air Force!

We contributed SIXTY gift bags full of calming goodies for the Air Force Christmas party. Just our small way of saying “thank you for your service.”

We love giving back to our community - without you guys, we wouldn’t be here!

We are also getting ready to release several new fresh plant tinctures and a luscious Chai Body Scrub that we can't wait for you to try! We hope to see you Saturday!
