Settle into the New Year by nourishing and supporting your body, mind and spirit with herbal infusions, meditation, and deep rest. As the holiday season winds down we will ease into this next year with the calming and supportive practice of creating our own nourishing herbal tea blends, mindful sipping, herbal dream pillows, and ceremonial intention setting.

We will gather in community to work with specific herbs that support and uplift our nervous system while simultaneously offering support to other systems of the body including immunity, digestion, and reducing inflammation.

Our time together will be spent tasting and creating different herbal infusion blends, setting  intentions for the New Year, making our own herbal dream pillows, and closing with Yoga Nidra. Each participant will leave with a 14-day supply of intuitively curated herbs to support their specific needs and an herbal dream pillow to support sleep and deep rest.
