🌿💚 I was very inspired this week with the spring energy expanding to make a wild weeds pesto 💚🌿

🌱 wild weeds pesto recipe 🌱

A simple way to feed the body with greens 💚

You can add this pesto to soups, spread it on toast, or mix into an herbal vinegar for a salad dressing. It is so versatile and yummy!

I made one this morning with:

dandelion
nasturtium
oregano
chickweed
plantain
parsley
purple sage

All things that are growing outside my front door!

Eating this a few days a week really supports liver energy as the season opens up 💚

Here are the cards we pulled in our conversation on Instagram live today. You can find our live call on our profiles ♥️

In our conversation, we share about our personal stories and tending the belly journeys and how we are currently tending our bellies.

The cards we pull share the alchemy of fire through transformation, warmth, and expression to bring a renewed appreciation and attention for life 🔥

When we connect with our inner fire of creation we can bring ourselves back to life!

Over the four days of the tending the belly class, there is the invitation to meet your wild one and to allow yourself to be a child of the earth.

To listen to the rain, notice the creatures around you, be with the plants, really feeling into all of the life around you and taking in the sweetness of each moment ♥️🙏

The practices shared in Tul’Ix Tending the Belly give us the spaciousness we need to remember that life is happening all around us and to connect into the medicine available in each moment.

Touching and tending the belly brings a loving awareness to the whole body. This work honors the unique individuality of the body and spirit ✨

When we do these practices we bring more circulation and blood flow to all systems of the belly, activating our inner knowing and inner fire 🔥

We teach in just a few days and again in December to close the calendar year in an inspired, grounded, and connected way♥️

What happens when you create a loving relationship with your belly? One where you bring love and attention, touch and connection?

You invite awareness, circulation, breath, and life.

Learning to give ourselves the bodywork we need is so deeply healing. Through the process of massaging the belly, the body can feel, explore, process.

Massaging the belly offers the spaciousness we need in today’s world where there is so much information to take in. Our bodies are sensitive wild animals and we are built with ancient technology. It takes energy to take in and digest the world around us. The body needs space to unwind, witness, exhale.

Tomorrow Maria of @dulce.tierra.alquimia and I will be dropping into to have a call on Instagram live to share about our upcoming Tul’Ix @tulixindigenousarts Tending the Belly classes where we teach the tending the belly self massage.

We will be reflecting on where we are in our own tending the belly journeys and how the self massage techniques have helped our sensitive bellies.

We invite you to join us with your questions, reflections, and curiosities 🧚🏼‍♀️

How we relate to our bodies is how we relate to the earth 🌏 by @thebellybee
