PRE-SUMMER WORKSHOP + OFFER
MAY. The bridge between the last days of Spring and the anticipation of Summer. I am still in complete denial that June is just around the corner and the last days of school are upon us!
I ended up traveling with my husband for a fun photography conference that he always plays records for in Europe called Way Up North. Life up until the day we left was pretty hectic and I decided to book a hotel outside of Florence so that we could have a bit more nature and space. The hotel’s website promised to “allow its guests to retreat from today's hustle and bustle and hyper-communication, to become contemplative, to smell nature, to perceive beauty and finally wind down.” Yes this meant the wi-fi was non-existent but it did it’s job. Being in a beautiful place with stone pines, rosemary, sage, cypress, rose, the last of the orange blossoms and jasmine and big fat bumblebees buzzing around was an unexpected dream.
While in Florence, I had the chance to visit the storied Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. It was one of the Middle Ages first apothecaries and the Dominican Friars started selling their rose waters as early as 1381. It’s no secret that nature provides us with tools to support and soothe our nervous system. There is so much working to deplete and pull us into disregulation which leads to symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, difficulty concentrating and more. We are experiencing it and so are our children. It takes inner attention and outer work to care for our whole selves.
My greatest wish is that we incorporate enough practices into our toolkit so that our children bring these natural solutions with them into adulthood.
I would like to invite you to a free online workshop on my top 10 essential oils and lifestyle practices to use for emotional, physical, mental and spiritual support.
