Protecting My Inner Fire with the Energy of Rosemary

Sole to Soul: How Our Feet Are Maps to The Inner Workings of Our Bodies

Hey good people! I am excited to bring forward a virtual workshop on Thursday, July 9th at 6pm ET with my good friend & fellow herbalist Brittaney Whitenhill. On today’s episode, Brittaney and I shared a bit on what to expect from our upcoming workshop as well as our own experiences. Our feet carry us through life, but they also carry important messages about our health. Drawing from African American spiritual herbalism and Chinese Traditional Medicine, this virtual workshop explores the connection between the feet, internal organs, energy pathways, and ancestral healing practices. Participants will learn to recognize common indicators of imbalance and discover rituals and herbs that support restoration from sole to soul.

Protecting My Inner Fire with the Energy of Rosemary

This episode, I continue my mini series on taking baby steps into the summer solstice. [https://acupofteaandjams.substack.com/p/taking-baby-steps-into-the-solstice] Every week, I am tapping into the energy of an herb that is ruled by the Sun to honor the arrival of summer. This week I am sitting with Rosemary, a protective plant ally of the sun and fire. I know it is a common kitchen herb that many folks cook with because it is packed with aroma and flavor. But it is also potent with medicinal benefits and spiritual fortitude. Some links I lifted up in the episode: https://acupofteaandjams.substack.com/p/garden-talk-03-remember-yourself [https://acupofteaandjams.substack.com/p/garden-talk-03-remember-yourself] https://centersageremedies.com/ [https://centersageremedies.com/] This is a public episode.

Taking Baby Steps into the Solstice

Good people, How is it June already??!! On June 21st, we will experience Summer Solstice. In this podcast episode I share how I plan to embody the essence of summer. For this upcoming solstice, I am calling in abundance, play, growth, and success that will carry me into the rest of the year. What are you thinking about calling in at the turning point of the year? What are the intentions that you have sown and the top of the year that you want to continue to nourish and grow? I also share how my daily practice of pilates and the nourishing presence of chamomile remind me that taking small, mundane, and incremental steps are just as important as taking big leaps of faith. I hope you enjoy the episode! Let me know what are you calling in for yourself during the summer solstice? Or what baby steps you are taking in your life that you want to celebrate?
