Our orchid and jasmine plants just flowered 🤍 maybe because we love and tend to them

plants and people bloom under optimal conditions

What are optimal conditions for you today? Sunlight? Moonlight? Water? Tea? A nap? A dance party?

The work of tending to ourselves is part of how we tend to one another (and our houseplants) 🌱

A year ago we were just moving into an empty space at 544 Main. We had a very strong vision of what we hoped to offer our community - but didn’t know what it would look like exactly….

Looking back a year later - we provided 884 community and private sessions including acupuncture, reiki, craniosacral therapy, sound healing, and herbal medicine.

389 events were attended by community members like you - gentle yoga, a clothing swap fundraiser, q***r community healing circle, tarot, support groups for new parents, vision boards, facial Gua sha, empowered sexuality, body liberation, yoga nidra, 12 step support, reiki and sound baths….

On this day of reflection and hope - we wish for more joy, more healing, more dialogue, more connection….

We are just getting started ✨ thank you to everyone that has shown up and continues to show up. Thank you to everyone that donated time, $, energy, & support. Thank you to our AcuDetox trainees for providing free ear acupuncture for the community. Thank you to our incredible team.

Our first yearlong mentorship starts next month and we are so excited to welcome new energy into our magical vision of community care🌈

We hope you are able to find moments of ease, community and rest this week. If you need support, herbs, or ear seeds - message or email your request.

We are winding down the year with limited hours and are on break next week.

Sending love to each one of you and gratitude for everyone that has DayDreamed with us in 2022 ❄️

‘Revolution is not a one-time event. It is becoming always vigilant for the smallest opportunity to make a genuine change in established, outgrown responses; for instance, it is learning to address each other’s difference with respect.’

If you have been following our journey but have not stepped in yet - we welcome you.

If you have experienced ease and transformation, or even a daydream - tell us all about it in comments below…

👇👇👇

Looking forward to our first ever morning clinic tomorrow 9-12. Receive acupuncture, reiki, sound healing, tuning fork therapy - all on a heated table in our sun filled space.

Don’t forget to ask for ear seeds to keep you relaxed through the week. 💎

Seasonal health means that we modify our behavior to follow the seasons.

As the plant world dies back, our intake of raw (cold) foods can be replaced by soups, broths, and stews. This supports digestion and helps us stay warm. It soothes our biological imperative for self preservation. If your cold weather diet consists foods that come from tropical climates, this can be confusing to the body.

What are some soups and stews that you plan on cooking this season?

We 💛💛💛 traditional comfort foods like:

🥣 kitchari
🥣 borscht
🥣 congee
🥣 pumpkin soup
🥣 chili

It is a beautiful day to receive care 💚

What a week! Strange weather, eclipse, full moon, elections - and it’s still Scorpio season folks.

This months 5 elements/12 steps workshop will compare the practice of sharing our stories with the element of Fire, which is the energy of summer and the unfolding of flowers.

Recovery can be a joyful and beautiful part of our lives, join us tomorrow for specific ways to make this happen in your life 🌹

Calling all sober + sober curious folks:

Next installment of 5 Elements//12 Streps with coming up November 5th 3-6.

We will discuss how the concepts found in steps 4,5+6 relate to the elements of Fire, Earth, and Metal ✨

No particular commitment to recovery or 12 step experience necessary - just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
