Introducing the
Botanical Soul Membership
It is with sheer delight that I share with you an invitation into my membership program, Botanical Soul.
Botanical Soul follows the seasons with a cornerstone program for each new season that matches the rhythms of nature:
Program Details
Join us monthly, seasonally or annually
Fall
As the rush of spring and summer comes to a close and nature begins to turn more inward, as we do, spending a little more bundled up or indoors, we also are in a time of harvesting that which we sowed and reaped during the activity of spring and summer.
Winter Program Details
➳ Personal practices that honor the quiet, still time that winter offers to recharge, reflect and rebuild
➳ Learn to listen more deeply to “winter” as a season and a metaphor for our life
➳ Exercises around setting intentions, and creating a ground of being that contributes to greater vitality
➳ Strengthen your skill in seeing beauty, meaning and connection in the unexpected
➳ Guidance and lessons around physical, mental and emotional rejuvenation and repair
Winter
Winter offers us an incredible opportunity to harness stillness to connect more deeply with ourselves, our loved ones and nature itself. In the absence of big bustling growth and activity that happens the rest of the year, something truly magnificent yet simple emerges.
Fall Program Details
➳ Learn basic food preservation techniques
➳ Create rituals of gratitude and thanksgiving for the bounty you harvest from your garden
➳ Learn to make basic herbal recipes, including teas, salves and other folk remedies to aid you throughout the fall and winter months
➳ Exercises on deliberateness, embodying gratitude, honoring the earth
➳ Lessons in how to change phases in our lives with grace, the way the seasons do
Spring
Spring is a flurry of activity and waking up. In this season, we have the opportunity to take the quietude that winter offered us and stay grounded in spirit as we also become more active and engaged in the fullness of life, gardening and growing. As the adage goes, “go slow to go fast.” We learned to go slow in winter so that we can go fast in spring, and eventually, summer.
Summer Program Details
➳ Create rituals of communing with your garden and nature at large while it is in the peak of its bounty and generosity
➳ Continue implementing your garden plan while also refining and evolving it with expert guidance
➳ Receive guidance and solutions for specific problems related to pests, water issues or other growing challenges
➳ Lessons & exercises on how to be active, fully engaged and alive with energy without depleting yourself
➳ Learn how and why to succession sow your plants
Summer
Summer is full and lush. We don’t want it to end, but sometimes, between the heat, activities, vacation and long days, we can go, go, go without the intention and deliberateness we want for our lives. The summer program will aid you in finding balance and rhythm in the heart and heat of summer activities, while relishing in the growth and abundance that your garden will produce.
Spring Program Details
➳ Learn the practical side of starting, or waking up, a garden- in ground, in containers or raised beds
➳ Create a garden plan for yourself with expert input, strategy and guidance
➳ Step by step instruction on starting and nurturing seeds, tending and transplanting seedlings
➳ Find the beauty, meaning and soul food available in communing with the garden through exercises, reflections and prompts
➳ Learn the basics of herbal medicine
Along with each cornerstone program, every Botanical Soul Membership includes:
➳ Monthly food and medicine recipes + instructional videos
➳ Personal exercises to deepen your connection to nature
➳ Live teaching, coaching and lessons from me on:
➳ Herbalism, baking, canning, gardening, health, spirit, land...
...and whatever else the divine offers up to be shared.
But most of all, the sessions include deep healing, peace of mind and a renewed sense that feeling vital, embodied and free of aches, pains and chronic issues really IS possible.
While I’ve shared some of the logistics, truly, this is a program that is meant to speak to your heart and soul at a visceral level. To feel the nurturing, the warmth, the camaraderie and care that is present. And through that, the healing, joy and deep reconnection that can flourish in your life and the lives around you.
Why Botanical Soul?
For the past many years, I’ve been in a bit of a gestation period with the work I was here to offer the world. Did I really only want to coach women around their relationship to food and body? Or should I teach people just how to garden? Maybe I should just see patients from a healthcare perspective with my herbalism background? Or should I be teaching and coaching about connection with spirit and leading a more spirit filled, mindful life?
Finally, I realized as a whole human who loved all these things, knew firsthand the interconnections among them all, maybe what was needed was a whole program that made those connections for other whole women in their own lives. Because the source of all health and genuine connection is wholeness.
I wanted to build a space that felt cozy and warm, engaging and easy. Easy in that way it feels when you pull up a chair at your best girlfriend’s house and she hands you a mug of tea (or wine as the case may be!) and something in your being drops, easily, effortlessly, like sinking into a perfectly warm bubble bath...
...Warm, loving, nurturing and real - the way an elder in your life used to at once love you up and also, give you a dose of wisdom and truth.
A space where women could come together to learn, to share, to grow, to stretch;
To learn
about the land, about growing food and medicinal plants, about making medicine and healing their bodies, or the bodies of the children or people they love; To learn the spiritual lessons that the land has to offer - because nature is our first and best teacher.
To share
the journey with other women. To share about their own musings, lightbulb moments, challenges, struggles and wins;
To grow
as a gardener, an herbalist, an at home medicine maker, a woman, a lover, a mother. Because tending nature is about so much more than just the mechanics, there is much personal and soul growth to be had in our relationship to the land;
To stretch
in not only our skill sets but also our connections, our realizations and our own ability to foster, tend, nurture and harvest- and to do those things in literal ways with the plants, and in metaphorical and energetic ways with our heart and soul.
