Sarah Flowers - Herbalist

Lava is one of nature’s most powerful forces, embodying both destruction and creation.

As it flows, it reshapes everything in its path, burning away the old and making way for new life. This raw power mirrors our own journey of growth and healing.

Just as lava invites us to release what no longer serves us and embrace the fires of transformation, we too must shed outdated patterns and fears. This process clears space for new beginnings and deeper connections with ourselves and the earth.

Lava shows us that within the heart of fire lies the potential for fertile ground. After it cools, volcanic soil becomes a thriving foundation for new life. Similarly, our most challenging experiences, when met with courage and acceptance, lay the groundwork for our personal evolution and the emergence of our true selves.

This September, and I invite you to join us in the volcanic lands of Mt. Shasta for a Fall Equinox retreat. Mt. Shasta, is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, rich volcanic soil, and spiritual significance.

What do we do you say? Would you like to join us for this journey of renewal and growth?

Mugwort & Cancer Season

Cancer ♋️ is a sign governed by the Moon

In medical astrology it governs the breasts, stomach, mucous membranes, and womb

Some of the herbal actions correlated to Cancer are Oneirogen (dream generating), Emmenagogue (blood moving), Galactagogue (breast milk stimulating), Bitter Tonic, Nervine (nervous system relaxation)

Mugwort is one of my favorite herbs for cancer season. It's also governed by the moon. It's latin name is Artemisia after the moon goddess Artemis.

Mugwort is native to Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa, it been used traditionally in herbal medicine by many cultures for many many moons.

It has many of the herbal actions related to the sign of Cancer as well.

On 7/7 on the day of the Pisces Waning Moon and I hosting a gathering along the river. With Mugwort as our guide we will explore cancerian themes of lunar rhythms, cyclical living, nurturing and nourishing the body during the different stages of the menstrual cycle.

We will sit with mugwort and learn directly from the plant through plant communication.

You'll learn how to harvest in a reciprocal way that benefits that eco system and craft a medicine to take home.

I don't know about you, but I had a pretty wild winter/spring. There was lots of changes, s**t brought to the surface for healing , karmatic cycles to be ended, and grief of losses.

Whenever we find ourselves admits changes, times where we are clearing and healing, we CAN NOT forget to fill ourselves back up with sweetness, we don't need to stay in the pain forever, and we can tap into joy and pleasure to move away from it and rewire our brains.

Herbal Hair Rinses 🌸

For hair and scalp health plus energetic cleansing ✨

These have been my greatest joy to create for ritual and ceremonial services.

I walk my property with a prayer in my heart to pick plants and flowers to best serve my clients healing.

Listening to the whispers of the plants I choose them, adding them to the jar and immersing them into water. I then break up the plants with my hands and heart still in prayer.

I then let the mixture sit out under the sun for 3 hours or so.

I learned this process from my teacher Heather Luna who studied and was passed down traditional spiritual healing techniques from Mayan Healer Miss Beatrice Waight

In the tradition of Miss Beatrice these baths would’ve been administered over the whole body as a spiritual cleansing. This process was one of my favorite things we did in the medicine garden.

I’ve found them to be amazing medicine even just poured over the crown 💗

The herbs used are also great for your hair and scalp health. Herbalist Rosemary Gladstar recommends hair rinses for hair health 💗🌿 they cleanse the scalp, increase circulation, send nutrients into the blood stream and so much more

Harvesting some mullein leaves!

Mullein is great for the lungs and allergies! It helps open the lungs, eases spasms, tightness, and cough, and soothes irritation and dryness.

I’m going to dry out this mullein and add it to my smoking blend that a client has been using to quit smoking ci******es. 💕

A year ago when I began to dive deep into herbalism I felt discouraged that I lived in an urban setting. I thought I needed a cottage in the woods to be able to experience the beauty of plants and find herbal medicinal plant life. ⁣
⁣
Oh how I was wrong. ⁣
⁣
I started walking to this spot in West Sacramento and the more I looked the more and more medicinal plants I found. ⁣
⁣
I became enthralled with watching this area grow and change over the seasons. It was a space for me to ground and connect amongst the pavement and chaos of the city. ⁣
⁣
I can hardly wait to share this area and the knowledge I’ve gained about the local medicinal plants in this area. ⁣

If your feeling called to connect with mama earth join me and .yoga May 1st for a day of disconnecting and recharging. ⁣

Sunshine is my favorite medicine ☀️ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Going outside and soaking up the sun can dramatically improve our health. ⁣⁣ In the Spring and Summer we get Vitamin D directly from the sun itself.
⁣⁣
Ditch the toxic sunscreen and expose your skin for small amounts of time so you build up a natural protective base tan for the summer ✨☀️
