Earth & Body is a series of gatherings inspired by the Earth’s seasons which guide our body’s natural rhythms. The purpose of each of these gatherings is to join in community - to lean into and explore the wisdom that is held within each of us and each of Earth’s seasons.
When we gather in early June, we reflect on Spring and look ahead to Summer.
Part of our time together will be for personal reflection on the previous season as well as the season ahead - with time for sharing for those who feel called (no pressure or expectations).
In the final part of our time together, we will look ahead to Summer - to explore the wisdom of the season through the lens of Western Herbalism as well as basic Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic principles. We will explore the patterns and characteristics of Summer, how they express within our bodies, plus simple practices, herbal allies, and mindset shifts we can lean on to best tend to ourselves in the season we are entering into.

A foundation of this series of gatherings:
Each and every season carries its own wisdom. Each season is unique yet all seasons are interconnected- each one affected by all the others. Tending to ourselves along with the seasons is a beautiful, wise, and sustainable way of journeying through life.
Just as with the Seasons, these gatherings are independent of all the others yet they are interconnected, flowing one to the next. Join for one or join for all; each gathering coinciding with each of the season transitions.
