GATHER WITH US UNDER THE HARVEST FULL MOON
Next Saturday morning, September 26th, we invite you to join us for a Sacred Feminine Yoni Steam Circle, open to all women.

As we enter the season of harvest, we gather within the energy of the Full Moon to create space for ourselves as women. A morning to slow down, connect with our bodies, express what has been held within, and intentionally acknowledge what this season is asking us to gather, release, and carry forward.

Together, our morning will include:
• A sacred herbal yoni steam
• Feminine expression and connection
• Intentional cleansing practices
• Live music and drumming
• Time for reflection and grounding
• A special rose and honey ouzo offering

The Harvest season reminds us that there is a time to gather what has grown, a time to give thanks for what has sustained us, and a time to begin releasing what does not need to follow us into the quieter months ahead.

Come exactly as you are.
Sit among women.
Listen to the drum.
Receive the warmth of the plants.
Allow your body to soften.
Give yourself a morning to simply be.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, A Morning Gathering Starting at 9am, Open to All Women!

Please let us know if you'll be joining us so we can prepare the space and offerings for everyone attending.

A PERFECT AUTUMN READ! Craft Your Own Magic, By Cassie Uhl is available in our shop, and this feels like such a beautiful book to reach for as we begin moving into the slower, more inward months of autumn.

This book is an invitation to explore a spiritual practice that feels personal rather than prescribed.

Cassie Uhl guides readers through creating their own meaningful relationship with magic, ritual, intuition, and the natural world while encouraging curiosity and personal discernment along the way.

Throughout the book, you'll explore practices and teachings surrounding:
• Creating personal rituals and sacred practices
• Working with the elements and the natural world
• Connecting with intuition
• Exploring meditation and energy work
• Creating and tending sacred space
• Working with seasonal and cyclical practices
• Understanding different magical tools and how you might incorporate them into your own practice

One of the things we appreciate about this book is its emphasis on discovering what actually resonates with YOU rather than feeling as though there is only one correct way to build a spiritual practice.

And there is something about autumn that naturally invites this kind of exploration.

Cooler evenings. Earlier sunsets. A warm drink nearby. A book open in your lap. A little more time spent listening inward.

If you've been wanting to deepen your personal practice, explore ritual and magic, or simply add something new to your autumn reading stack, Craft Your Own Magic may be waiting for you.

Available now in our shop!

A TEA CEREMONY FOR THE CHANGING SEASON

There is a subtle shift beginning to move through the season.

The light is changing. The evenings are arriving a little differently. The Earth is slowly preparing for what comes next, and perhaps we can allow ourselves to do the same.

Gifting yourself a moment of peace in ceremony can be a beautiful way to acknowledge this transition.

Tea ceremony does not have to be elaborate. It can simply be an intentional pause between you, the plants, the water, and the moment you are living within.

For the mind, preparing tea slowly can interrupt the constant movement of thought and bring your attention back to what is directly in front of you.

For the body, the warmth of the cup, the aroma of the herbs, and the act of sitting can become an invitation to soften and settle.

For the spirit, tea can become a quiet companion for reflection, gratitude, prayer, listening, and preparing ourselves for a new season.

CREATE A SIMPLE SEASONAL TEA CEREMONY

Choose an herbal tea that feels aligned with what you need right now.

Prepare your water slowly.

As your tea steeps, sit quietly and consider:

What am I ready to carry with me into this next season?

What has reached completion?

What would I like to make more space for?

Hold your warm cup between both hands. Take three slow breaths before drinking.

With your first sip, acknowledge where you have been.

With your second, become present with where you are.

With your third, place an intention into where you are going.

Then simply drink your tea.

No rushing. No phone. No expectation that something profound needs to happen.

Just you, the plants, the water, and a few quiet moments to meet the changing season.

Sometimes ceremony can be this simple.

BLACK OBSIDIAN: THE STONE OF THE MIRROR

Black Obsidian is well known today for its association with protection, grounding, and energetic clearing. But did you know that its relationship with the mirror goes back thousands of years?

Long before the modern glass mirrors we know today, highly polished Obsidian was fashioned into reflective surfaces by ancient peoples, including cultures of Mesoamerica. Its naturally dark, glass-like surface could be carefully polished until an image appeared within it.

There is something beautifully symbolic about this history...

Spiritually, Black Obsidian is often considered a stone of truth and self-reflection. Like the ancient Obsidian mirror, it can symbolically invite us to look inward, beyond what is immediately visible, and become more aware of the patterns, emotions, truths, and parts of ourselves that may be asking to be seen.

It is often worked with for:
• Energetic protection and grounding
• Self-reflection and shadow work
• Bringing hidden patterns into awareness
• Clearing stagnant or unwanted energy
• Discernment, truth, and personal boundaries
• Creating a sense of stability during inner work

We currently have Black Obsidian available in beautiful towers, raw mineral pieces, tumbled crystals, bracelets, necklace pendants, and spheres.

Stop into the shop, explore the different forms, and perhaps spend a moment looking into the deep reflective surface of Obsidian.

Sometimes a mirror is meant to show us more than our reflection.

THE ORACLE OF THE SACRED HORSE, By Kathy Pike

The Oracle of the Sacred Horse is available in our shop, and this is an absolutely beautiful deck for anyone who feels a connection to horses, animal wisdom, intuitive work, or oracle practices.

Created by Kathy Pike, whose work has centered deeply around communication and connection with horses, this deck invites you to explore the horse as teacher, mirror, guide, and companion.

The imagery throughout the deck is beautiful, but one of the things we especially appreciate about this oracle is the detailed guidebook included with it. The book offers much more than a few sentences about each card. It provides thoughtful interpretations and guidance that can help you understand the message of the card while still leaving room for your own intuition to speak.

The Sacred Horse Oracle explores themes of:
• Intuition and inner knowing
• Freedom and personal power
• Trust and surrender
• Emotional awareness
• Healing and transformation
• Connection with animal wisdom
• Listening more deeply to yourself and the world around you

Whether you already work with oracle cards or are choosing your very first deck, this is a beautiful one to sit with, learn from, and incorporate into your personal practice.

Available now in our shop!

Come in, hold the deck in your hands, look through it, and see if the wisdom of the horse calls to you.

THE FORCE OF A HAT...
Did you know that hats and head coverings have been used for grounding, protection, identity, prayer, ceremony, and spiritual practice across many traditions throughout history?

The covering or adorning of the head can be much more than something worn for warmth, sun protection, or style. In many cultures, the head and crown have been treated as spiritually significant spaces, and what is placed upon them can carry symbolism, prayer, protection, status, or intention.

Can a hat protect your crown space? Can it help ground your energy or become a physical expression of an intention you are carrying?

I believe so, but I also believe so much of it comes down to the intention we place into the things we work with... I have personally felt the difference when placing a hat upon my head with intention. There can be a presence that seems to fill the aura, a feeling of containment, grounding, strength, and awareness of the space around the crown.

This is part of the inspiration behind our Sacred Hat Making Workshop this Saturday.

We will spend a late morning learning, creating, connecting, and intentionally adorning a hat that becomes uniquely your own.

Hats, beads, feathers, leather string, and other materials will be provided. If you have a special crystal, charm, keepsake, or meaningful item you would like to adorn your sacred hat with, we invite you to bring it along.

A short class, light snacks, creative materials, and a grounded space to create are all provided.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH, Sliding Scale Exchange: $44–$77

**ONE SPOT REMAINING!**

Come create something you can wear not only as adornment, but as a physical reminder of the intention you choose to carry.
