Spots are half full! ✨Updated Graphic ✨

I wanted to make a new graphic to make it explicitly clear what the heck a tea making sound bath is! You will make multiple tea bags (at least 6, but kind of up to you) to take home and enjoy the rest of the week.

Method:
After you take a short quiz that helps you figure out where your energy is, I will explain which herbs and at which ratio you could blend your tea.

While you work, Mooney Energics will fill the space with a Sound Bath. This will further our energy centering and relaxation.

For me, sometimes it's easier to relax and receive the benefits of something like a sound bath when my hands are a little occupied. You will be smelling the herbs, mixing and blending.

This is truly a ONE-OF-A-KIND experience. I have never seen anything like this advertised before -- certainly not in Mt. Juliet!!

Play isn’t just for kids. Adults who make time for playful, hands-on experiences feel less stressed, think more creatively, and build stronger connections. Dr. Stuart Brown of the National Institute for Play calls play a biological need, as essential as sleep and nutrition.

Our plant-based team workshops help your group relax, connect, and leave with something meaningful they created together. 🌿

Schedule a team engagement session they ACTUALLY ENJOY!

I always felt like winter was something that HAPPENED to me, not something I DID.

This year, I have come to recognize and believe that “wintering” is something that every living thing deserves. A season of resting. Slowing down. Preserving energy, moving slowly in response to the lack of light.

Every living thing deserves moments to fully relax their body in a warm cocoon of care.

I have also come to understand that wintering is a privilege, though it should be a right.

Many women are caring for their children and their parents, and have no time to take care of themselves. Many hold full-time jobs and come home to a second full-time job of homemaking, caretaking, and magic-making.

If you have the privilege to develop a wintering practice, I believe it is imperative that you do so.

Trees shed their leaves. Fields rest. Animals slow their pace or retreat entirely. Even the earth itself exhales and waits.

Winter is not a failure of growth, but a necessary part of it.

Wintering is choosing restoration.

I believe that every living thing deserves a period of conservation of energy, where silence replaces noise, and where healing happens quietly beneath the surface. Roots grow deeper in winter. Strength gathers unseen. What appears still is simply silently preparing to grow anew.

When we allow ourselves to winter, we give permission to breathe. To rest. To let what is be enough. Allowing our bodies and minds to be well and usher us into a new year of growth.

Some ways in which I’ve allowed myself to “winter” this season:

* Midday cups of tea by the Christmas tree
* Letting go of all the potential holiday magic I could create
* Attending silent book club and allowing myself to nap rather than read
* Putting off making holiday cards until next year
* Prepping my children for fewer presents under the tree
* Going to bed as early as possible

What is one way you can allow yourself simple moments of wintering this season?

Wishing you a safe and snuggly winter.

Loved spending time with the Banfield Pet Hospital team creating plant arrangements as part of their wellness day!

Want a unique wellness experience for your employees that will carry benefits long after the experience ends?

I'd love to bring a nature-inspired activity to your workplace.

Satisfying and so easy!

By layering epsom salts, dried Lavendar buds, and lavender essential oil you can make yourself a lovely aromatic experience for the end of a long day.

I wish I had New Moms Group when my babies were little. I joined their Coffee & Connections Group and we made lavender bath salts so these beautiful mamas have something nice to enjoy.

Sensory stimulation (in calming ways) is so important when living with the anxieties of every day life. It reminded me of how my journey with plants began. As new mom needing a mental break from the daily chaos.

Plus! We supported so many small businesses through this activity!

Step outside for a moment, and you’ll see that nature never stops showing up.

There’s a steadiness in the natural world that reminds us to keep going, to keep noticing, and to keep finding beauty right where we are.

When the world feels heavy, let nature be your reminder: there’s still so much good growing all around you. 🍄

🌿 NAMI Labyrinth Walk | Soft Launch of Rooted in Respite 🌿

Last night we shared something special — our first soft launch of Rooted in Respite at the NAMI Labyrinth Walk!

Guests were invited to take home a plant propagation — a small, living symbol of growth and calm. My favorite part was watching people go from a little hesitant to glowing with joy as they picked out and took home their very own plant.

At Rooted in Respite, we offer private and group classes that connect people to nature through hands-on plant activities and mindful practices. Each session helps reduce stress, spark creativity, and nurture a positive connection with the natural world.

About Us

Dear Plant Friends + Family:

This pandemic hit me, like many of you, in a real weird way.

Long story short: I turned to my house plants and found MY PLANTS BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE.

Before, I bought most of my plants at big box stores and most of them lived about a month. Having the time on my hands, I started doing a lot of research. Not only in today's fads, but also those of yesteryear. I've found some similar themes, I tested them out, and voila! I've figured out a very unscientific way to classify plants as "easy to love + hard to kill."
