Spring tea in the garden! Today from 2-5 pm EST at The Source for Healing I’m sharing teas from the private 1,000 year old gardens of Mr Sun on Mt Mengding in Southern China. We’ll talk about tea, its cultivation and history, and enjoy the flavor, sense and spirit of these ancient tea bushes together.

I think sitting and drinking tea is more important than ever before. Call me an idealist or a romantic - but people are lonely and depressed, and don’t feel connected to community. Tea is a simple practical way to facilitate this connection. This a good way to feel better in body, mind and spirit. This is a way for everyone to feel in greater communion with the living Qi of the Earth.

My offering of tea in the garden is an invitation into deep love for the tea, for the communal spirit, to become present and quiet with one another. It f you’re in the Hudson Valley and feel a call to join us, Dm me right away. This will be a first of more to come.



— Seven Bowls of Tea - Lu Tong (卢仝), Tang Dynasty (790–835 CE)

The first bowl moistens my lips and throat. The second breaks my loneliness. The third searches the dry rivulets of my soul and finds therein five thousand scrolls. The fourth raises a light perspiration —all life’s inequities pass out through my pores. The fifth purifies my flesh and bones. The sixth calls me to the immortals. The seventh — I need not drink. I am only aware of a pure wind rising beneath my two arms.

Look closer at what's affecting you. This is pollen magnified. 40% of the world now has allergies. A generation ago that number was a fraction of what it is today. This is not a coincidence and it is not just the pollen. It is the food we eat, the microbes we have lost, the environments we live in, and the immune systems we have quietly broken in the process. The good news — when you understand why, you can actually do something about it. New essay exploring the real roots of the allergy epidemic. Read more: https://wix.to/C5JJlaq 🌿

Most people expect to feel better in spring. More light, warmer days, the world waking up — it sounds like relief. But here's what nobody tells you: spring is actually one of the hardest seasons on your body and your nervous system. The joints ache. The emotions surface. The mood can swing wildly. And there's a reason the highest rates of depression and anxiety across the entire world peak not in winter — but in spring.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, this makes sense. The Liver — your body's General, the organ that holds your vision, your plans, and your stored emotions — is working harder right now than at any other time of year. Wind and Damp are peaking. Your blood is moving outward from the deep tissues. Everything that was quietly held through the cold is beginning to stir and surface.
The good news? There are specific, time-tested practices that work with this rising energy rather than against it. I'm sharing five favorites — from breathwork and Qi Gong to acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and the simple power of rhythm and routine. Read more: https://wix.to/Mnfrege

Dear Friends, Your body is a reflection of nature, a microcosm of the same forces moving through the world outside your window. And in spring, those forces are unmistakable. All winter, your circulation has been consolidating — pulling inward and downward, protecting the vital flame at the core, c...
