This transitory morning (one which echoes winter post equinox) marks another Shabbat, heralds Purim, and preparation of Holy Week with Palm Sunday to come. I was invited to a sweat lodge, but my children still sleep from their return from travel up North. Their slumber has afforded me a slow morning of Sabbath. To awaken to the raven’s consistent clamour of sounds I long to understand and yet I do not know. To sip, and putter, and prepare the second of the Ziigwan medicines: chaga tea, simmered with maple syrup from this year’s (sparse) boil. I helped my lymph drain and awakened my upper body to mirror the cleansing acts of my own vessel and the Land’s. A small fire created the wood ash that would soon fertilize the leaf mulched garden and enrich the compost. Most of all I savoured time to write, an indulgence rarely afforded to me these very full days. Through this “les gros flocons” fell gently to the ground. Wishing each of you cherished moments of stillness as the world keeps spinning in all the many ways in which it does. May you enjoy a a sabbath unique to you; bringing strength to the weariness that can be a confusing season, concerns for the happenings close to home & beyond, and the transitions that abound through the seasonal shifts + . . . #ecotherapy #learningwithland #ancestraltraditions #springmedicines #ziigwan #anishinaabekwe #tenagadinzibi #uncededalgonquinterritory

Polarity generates the space between this and that, us and them, me and you. Like light and shadow, one is only perceived in relation to the other. The pandemic culture has amplified environmental fractures and fissures that pre-existed our current situation: disconnection within ourselves, between one another, and within our ecosystem. Economic disparity has been magnified, abuse is being exposed, systemic injustice highlighted, environmental concerns contentious. Social media has given individuals, groups, and movements a modern soapbox platform to call into the virtual void with the possibility of solidarity. It has also exacerbated division by promoting institutional thinking; that is the insulation of like-minded folks adopting a singular lens to support a shared cause. While this is a part of the process of change and mending, it is dangerous to stay in the space of black and white, us and them, and extremes. Historically, remaining here has perpetuated the cycle of oppression when the oppressed becomes the oppressor; adopting a new uniform as tyrant, establishing a new tyranny. There has been much simultaneous monologue and limited dialogue. Let us share together in the healing of the oppression within ourselves, the projections outward that fortify gender/racial/economic/environmental wars, and unify through respectful sharing and listening to those & that which we “other” as a result of pain and fear. Then we can witness the beauty created by the acceptance of diversity and the interplay between our distinct selves within the whole, as the canvas that embraces the spectrum of light & shadow. #lightasmetaphor #ecosystemicwellness #nuancedliving #embracingcomplexity #lightandshadow #greyscale #slowingdowntosee #observationinformsaction #solidarity #sharingstoriescultivatescompassion #artreflects

Come anchor alongside others under the Full Snow Moon, Friday February 26th @ 8PM. Sliding scale offered: $15-20. Gathering virtually via Zoom. Named by farmers after the heaviest accumulation of snowfall in north country climates, this was a month of scarcity. Known by the Algonquin peoples of this Land as the Groundhog Moon, by the Ojibwe as the Bear Moon, and the Cree as the Bald Eagle Moon; the moon’s fullness bears symbol from many lunar traditions. The Zodiac acknowledges expressions of Virgo traits; among them focus, diligence, organization, creativity and others. It can be helpful to harness these while balancing the pursuit of goals with rest, acknowledgement of progress & self care tailored to gentleness & nourishment. Friday’s offering will encompass an integration of these traditions and symbols to guide meditative visualization, introspective journaling, communing together through the sharing of story, and an earth-based ritual. For many of us Friday night concludes a work week - come as you are, and let’s ease into the weekend together! DM to join 🌕 #ecowellness #lunaranchoring #groundwiththecycles #skyworldteachings #communetogether #earthbasedpractises #storymedicine #snowmoongathering #groundhogmoon

Social Ecosystem. As a species we evolve in relationship - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Care is given and received through different channels; self-soothing & reaching out, giving and receiving love in word, service, presence, touch & generosity. Sharing skills & resources. We cultivate our inner & outer landscapes by sowing seeds, nurturing growth, harvesting, and exchanging. In these times of social distancing, isolation & polarization; what can be offered, what are spaces to access support? Pictured here are gifts from my circle. In a season of giving much & needing support, these tangible expressions of care have meant the world to me. 🌱 “Wandering Jew” (That’s me!), propagated by a cherished client 🪵Kindling & pine cones, from my mother-out-law 🍊Stem & leaf clementine beauties from my maternal aunt 💜 Pickled beets by @shleyway, a new homesteading frand 🕯Candle holders made by beloved friend @jesrae.ceramics 📦 Skin care package sent by faraway faithful @holistichairdoer ✨A synchronous kettle exchange, with a fellow @bluebarncoffee client #socialecosystem #communitybeyondahashtag #interconnection #lovelanguages #alonetogether

Ecowellness at Home : Ritual. A practise of constancy amidst change. An experience of grounding amidst internal and external shift. Some acts of daily devotion, others changeable through the seasons. Preparing coffee by hand has been a circadian ritual; integrating my mind into my body, as it transitions from unconscious to conscious states, through sensory experience - seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling and tasting. Lighting candles at dawn and dusk during shorter days has been a portal from darkness to light & back again. Other ways to connect with oneself & earth elements : 🌬 Letting fresh air in ❄️ Movement outdoors 🔥 Sitting fireside 🛀 Baths 🌲Aromatherapy What practises anchor you; daily, seasonally, and in this collective chapter? #ecowellnessathome #earthelements #fireelement #heat #light #hibernation #coldseasonselfcare #dailydevotion #mindfulnesspractice #slowbrewcoffee
