The air hangs thick with the sweet warmth that I can only feel this time of year. The sun seems to hang lower in the sky, bathing us in rich golden hues, and inviting the ripeness of our fruit and veg to fall willingly from the vine. The bright, ecstatic yellow we met in springtime daffodils, is now more of a honeyed glow emerging through the sunflowers and dahlias.
We have welcomed this divine summer warmth into our bones for a time now, and the energetic, expressive nature of the season is now calling us to gather in and appreciate this sustanance.
Once summer has reached its height (June 21,) the year's cycle begins its inevitable decline into the season of late summer - a time of peak experieince + ripening.
Physically and spiritually, this period of late summer is a time for slowing down and gathering in. It is a time when we recognize and hold the fruits of our labor.
It is a time to ground into our radiance, to bask in the beauty we have created, and celebrate the bounty of our gifts. As harvest season commences, it’s a powerful time to reflect on yourself, your relationships, and your work. What parts of your life are bearing fruit? Where is the harvest rich? Where do you find it stunted?
As we move towards Autumn, there is a natural pull to prepare for a season of letting go. My Tea practice is always such an ally through transitions in my life, in particular traversing seasons. The elementals provide that perfect alchemy of what I’m needing to witness + allow space for.
I’m honored to be sharing the last in-person Tea Ceremony Immersion of the summer begining on Monday Aug 29 through till Sept 1. This 4-day expeirience will weave through the elemental as presented through the practice of Cha Dao, as well provide a beautiful container of sharing and embodied authenticity. Marinate in a lineage transmission, as well as intuit your own essence though the faciliation of Tea as a potent plant teacher.
Limited capacity is available for this intimate space of receptivity and relaxation, the perfect antidote in a season of integration + preparation.
Also, my schedule lends space for 3 individuals to join the September Mentorship container. Together we explore what is on your heart, what you’ve been coming up against ie: your shadow, your stories etc. Through ritual, somatics, movement, breathwave, hands-on nurturing + reflective exercises, we uncover your hidden gifts, create a new narritive + decode the perfect recipe for your true becoming. If you would like to book a discovery call with me about this month’s mentorship, please reach out.
I would love to hear what you are grounding into this late summer - hit reply to this email if you have anything arising that you desire to bring forward and share, or check in with me on IG.
In gratitude + abundance,
SJ
