A Spring Cleansing Ritual

To bathe or cleanse oneself in wild waters is a gift everyone should experience in their lifetime. It is not at all like a swim, a shower, or even a tub soak at home. A wild water bathing cleanse transports the naked to a transcendental state of mind. Here it is possible to commune with the spirit of the river and the betrothed land in which it penetrates. Here it is possible for the secrets of the land and the heart, that have long been locked up frozen, to flow freely.

An Intentional Equinox Gathering + Fall Tablescape with Bloomist

I am a lover of nature and the transitions from one season to the next are sacred to me. Rather than celebrate hallmark holidays, I elect to root into each seasonal transition by observing the natural phenomena that occur at the change of seasons. Today I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how I create intimate seasonal gatherings with the intention of providing inspiration and tips so you can recreate a similar experience in your home. In partnership with Bloomist, I’ve curated a beautiful tablescape that sets the stage for intentional conversations shared over an autumn meal.

Cast Iron Skillet Carrot Cake

This Easter holiday I’m crafting up a simple yet delicious cast iron skillet carrot cake. This skillet cake has all the yumminess of traditional carrot cake, but much less fuss. With a single tier and fabulous ingredients this recipe is adapted for cooking outdoors in a backyard or camp setting.

Wildflower Seed Paper: Creating Ostara Magic with Children

This year we found ourselves with loads of bits and scraps of paper from various learning activities + projects, and I was inspired by a pen pal to give paper making a go. For a little extra fun, we added wildflower seeds, so the paper can be returned to the earth and provide for our pollinator friends.

The Wheel of the Year: Seasonal Living for Spirituality

Seasonal living supports us in many practical ways throughout daily life. Connecting to nature seasonally can also support us from a spiritual perspective. Rooted in ancient sacred paganism and the modern Wiccan tradition, The Wheel of the Year offers a sacred calendar and rituals that align with nature.
