One place where everything comes together
Reading Time: 5 minutes The lavender plant has been used for centuries to help with depression, stress, and irritability. And while the dried flowers stuffed in sachets – or the fresh ones just pinched and sniffed – definitely have that aroma-therapeutic action, the essential oil will really pack a punch.

Reading Time: 4 minutes What you wear, read, drink, eat or bath in does not make you a Goddess Warrior or Spiritual Woman. It is that which lies within our hearts and souls that connects us to the Divine Mother. It is how inclusive we are, how caring and kind we are and generous with Unconditional Love that pulls us closer into the realm of Spirit.

Reading Time: 8 minutes This year, we’re talking “Revolution, Reparations, and Revelry,” because we like alliteration, and because these three go together like greens, yams, and ham (turkey ham, if you don’t swill swine. If you don’t eat meat, please pass).

Reading Time: 5 minutes I love essential oils because they’re basically concentrated plant medicine. The small bottles are so easy to carry with you and pull out at need.
A lot of people get confused because essential ‘oil’ is somewhat of a misnomer. These substances are actually not oily at all, and are created (most often) through a complex distillation method that extracts the medicinal essence of a plant from the water and plant matter.
