June. Summer has arrived.

Whether or not you love, like, or tolerate Summer 😉, I see you.

As more and more plants grow and prepare to bloom, I find myself torn between my Herbalist self who wants to share all the plants with everyone and my introverted self who would much rather sit solo beneath a Linden tree and make medicines.

Thankfully, I've learned to balance the two fairly well 💜😅

-:-:-

If leaning into the rhythms of the seasons is something of interest to you, I am hosting a gathering tomorrow, Tuesday, evening at 6:30pm in Mankato. We will take some time to reflect on Spring before leaning into the wisdom and medicine of Summer. All are welcome and all details can be found on my website.

I've been supporting clients through a variety of concerns lately:

- Sleep difficulty
- Digestive changes
- Mood (irritability/overwhelm/grief/etc.)

Friendly PSA:

This is the current stage of my elderflowers (Sambucus canadensis).

Certainly, there are some that could be a little further along than mine. However, if you are finding elder that are already in bloom or past bloom and headed toward the berry stage, you're looking at a different species of elder (likely Red Elder, Sambucus racemosa).

Generally, Red Elder is not worked as medicine as it contains higher amounts of toxic compounds. I personally do not work with this plant and recommend the same to others, especially to those newer to herbalism.

Please be aware and always be certain of plant identification before harvesting any plant 🌱💜

The summer days continue to lengthen and the plants are thriving.

Enjoy Nature and her abundance this season.

It might be a season of movement, growth, and busyness, but balancing it with some slowness and pause allows us to really savor the season.

In about a week and a half, we gather in Mankato to reflect and to lean in.

With the 90° weather, this gathering is feeling perfectly timed.
What a perfect way to invite in the season by reflecting on Spring then leaning into Summer within a group of like-minded individuals?!

This gathering is all about living a little more in rhythm with the seasons; a way of living that benefits our entire being (body, mind, spirit), as well as Nature herself.

The seasons affect us as we too are Nature.

Reach out with any questions.

Oh Plantain 💚

Plantain Salve is a must in my apothecary year round but especially in the summer months.

In case you haven't heard, I'm offering Plantain Salves at a discount now through June 9th:
1/2 oz for $5
1 oz for $10

The 1/2 oz size might seem small but it's the size I personally use. It's portable and it lasts way longer than one might think!

Message or email to claim yours and to set up either local pick up (Eagle Lake) or shipping (extra) 💜
