*audio on for a delicious crunch!

And now an Autumn “hike-ooo” ….get it? ;)

Fall sings as I walk
Crunchy carpet underfoot
Asters sunlit glow

I missed our usual Wellness Wednesday email this week, so please accept a little Thankful Thursday love note instead. 💛🍂

A little reminder to slow down, take a breath, and make space for what nourishes you.

This week, I’m reflecting on second chances, letting go, and the beautiful possibility of beginning again.

✨ Check your inbox, take a peek, and let me know what resonates. 💌

🍄 hi Turkey Tail! It’s the forest’s tiny rainbow fan club. Isn’t it soooo beautiful!!??

This particular log lives at The Willows

Did you know ??? they’re also among the forest’s most studied medicinal mushrooms.

They are used primarily to support immune health, but also teach us:

✨ Decay can become nourishment.
✨ Endings can make room for beginnings.
✨ Even an old log can host a whole new story.

What wisdom might this powerful medicine be waving your way? Have you ever used it medicinally?? Do share ◡̈ !

This is what your practitioner is doing before you come in for your session! Calming, grounding, preparing.

Ps. This is Bodhi!! Bodhi Jaguar our amazingly skilled integrative massage therapist. One of her favorite offerings is a long 3 hour massage session called the somatic reset!! Maybe we should call it nirvana! Of course she does offer shorter sessions with all of her amazing tools as needed: Swedish Massage, Myofascial Trigger Point Release, Sports Massage, Prenatal Massage, shamanic healing, and reflexology

✨ Okay, friends… I have a little experiment I’ve been wanting to try. ✨

We spend so much time learning what acupuncture points do. Their functions. Their indications. Their locations. Their classical names.

But what if we stopped for a moment and asked a completely different question…

What if the points have something to say? 👀

What if a point isn’t just a place where we put a needle, but a doorway into a particular kind of medicine?

A spirit?
A landscape?
A story?
A relationship?

So I’m going to try something a little unusual.

I’m hosting a one-time gathering called Communing with the Spirit of the Points, where we’ll explore an acupuncture point through a shamanic lens.

We’ll slow down and get curious about the point. We’ll explore its name, imagery, medicine and qualities. We might draw. We’ll feel. We’ll listen.

And then…Using shamanic drum journeying, we’ll open ourselves to meeting the spirit of the point directly and see what it has to teach us.

This was inspired by a spirit of the points question from my friend Annmarie Butera Cantrell. And the idea grew out of my Plant Spirit Medicine training with my first shamanic teacher, Eliot Cowan, where I learned to approach plants not simply as things to study, but as beings with whom we can develop a relationship.

And now I’m wondering…

What happens when we do that with acupuncture points?

For this gathering, I’m choosing one of my all-time favorite points.

Which one?

I’m not telling. 😉

You’ll have to come meet it ◡̈

This is open to acupuncturists, holistic practitioners, and anyone who is simply curious about the mysterious intelligence living within our own bodies.

No acupuncture experience necessary. No shamanic experience necessary.

Just bring your curiosity.

✨ Communing with the Spirit of the Points
Wednesday, October 7 · 7:30-9 PM
Phoenixville, PA
$40 · $35 each when you bring a friend with code BUDDY

Exact location provided upon registration. Via VillageWellness.net

Come meet the points.

You may discover they’ve been waiting to meet you. 🌿

A Reiki Share is a beautiful opportunity for those who have received Reiki attunements to come together and practice in community.

During the evening we will take turns both giving and receiving Reiki while deepening our understanding of this gentle yet powerful healing art.

Our wonderful Reiki master Jennifer Jennifer Dean Nagle will be present throughout the evening to guide the experience, answer questions, and offer supportive suggestions to help participants feel confident and inspired in their Reiki practice.

Whether you are newly attuned or have been practicing for years, Reiki Shares are a wonderful way to stay connected to the energy and continue growing your skills.
