New Moon Monthly~Botanical Mythology

We believe in natural cycles: the seasons, the moon, the ocean's tides, rhythm of a yoga practice;  beginning with OM and ending in Savasana.  Subsequently, we've decided each month, at the onset of the moon's birthing cycle, to honor this time for creation and new beginnings. 

Each month we will share one herb or plant we use for personal healing, spiritual growth, meditation, or culinary joy. Our hope is to plant this seed of connection to the natural world in fertile and receptive soil.

The Heart is Nomadic September Re-Visited

What are you creating?

What is growing?

What do you need to dissolve? Autumn is often seen as a time of shedding or letting go. However, what we move away from is a choice, what we step into is our right.

Can we create this space for mobility not only within ourselves but for others, while maintaining our unique glow?

Can we like the seasons change variably but return repeatedly?

May we continually explore coming back to ourselves.
