These days I’ve been trying to focus a bit more on prioritizing my self and finding again the things that bring me joy.

The transition into motherhood has felt depleting and isolating and it’s been a journey of trying to put myself back together. It can be so easy to loose myself in the day to day of caring for a family. And as much as I am grateful everyday for this opportunity and the beautiful being in my life, I have had to face some very hard realities within myself. So it’s become apparent that caring for myself is crucial in feeling truly fulfilled.

And so I’ve been implementing ways to stay grounded and contemplating on what brings me pleasure in the day to day. And I’ve been using Sanctuary Tea blend to get me inspired. So I’m cooking up something fun to share with folks in Vancouver *hint* we’ll be talking about pleasure baby 😉

While I get organized to share more about this upcoming event, grab yourself a cup of Sanctuary Tea and here are some things that bring joy and pleasure into my life. A reminder to myself that pleasure and joy isn’t a luxury but a crucial part of living as a human being.

1: La Artemisia Sanctuary Tea
2: The Birth of Venus by Adolph’s Bouguereau 1879
3: roses in the summertime seabirds singing in the background
4: roses and furs
5: smelling sweet roses
6: frolicking in nature with my baby boy
7: hot baths filled with herbs
8: rose buds in the dead of winter

Because of them I have the opportunity to put together this small collection of teas and remedies and I look forward to sharing them with you all.

Stove top brews of roots and barks and seeds and berries is for me, a cherished ritual for the turning of the seasons and a source of nourishment throughout the winter months. This really feels like kitchen witchin at its finest. So if you want to connect with your inner witch, get a pot out put some herbs and water in it and await the delightful aromas that will fill your home.

In the practice of herbal medicine we call this preparation a ‘decoction’.

✨What is a decoction?
This is a herbal preparation using water to extract the medicinal components of the plants. And we typically use a decoction to prepare a tea using roots, barks, seeds, and berries. Since these parts of the plants are tougher than flowers or leaves they require a bit more time in the water and heat to extract their medicine

✨How to make a decoction?
1. Add all the herbs to your pot. Typically we use 1tbsp of herb per cup. But I’m a dash of this, a pinch of that, and a handful of this kind of woman! Experiment and have fun.
2. Add cold water to pot and bring to a boil.
3. Turn the heat down and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes minimum. But I like to brew my herbs for longer.
4. Strain and enjoy. You can refrigerate your decoction and enjoy it for up to 3 days. Some folks love to re-brew the herbs, but I say go for it!!

✨My favourite decoction right now is an Immune Chaga Chai:
Chaga
Astragalus
Fresh ginger
Cinnamon bark
Cardamom pods
Fennel seeds
Star Anise
Cloves
Black pepper corns
Variations: I’ve been adding D**g Quai in my luteal phase for blood building and recently ran out of Astragalus so just put in some Dandelion root because I had some.

Get creative and enjoy some plant magic 🪄 🍂🍁. Let me know in the comments on you try this brew or let me know what’s brewing in your cauldron this season.

{{ The rose }}

:: These hands have touched the thorns of unwelcoming brambled cages.
These ears have heard the cries of a lost child in the night.
These eyes have seen blood spilt and soaked up by red earth.
This tongue has tasted the bitterness of contempt in the heart.
And yet it was promised that one day, on the winds of change, I should smell the sweet scent of roses once again ::
____________________________________

For at least 8 years now I have been in deep relationship with the beauty of rose. I have picked her petals with reverence. I have carefully navigated her thorns. I have soaked her in brandy and drank her medicine. I have dropped golden honey over her petals to preserve her sweetness for months to come. I have anointed my body with her oil. I have been submerged in many baths filled with her beauty. I have added rose petals to every tea blend you can image. We have danced together for all this time. And every cycle of the sun, every cycle of my life she teaches me again and again and more deeply.

I have always known rose to be a heart opening medicine, elevating our vibration, dispelling anger and soothing the deep wells of grief. And yes she has done this for me in various ways and in subtle ways. However, as this cycle of my life has been unfolding she has shown me how powerful her softness can truly be.

As I have navigated some of the most difficult terrain of my life (apparently Pluto has been transiting my moon) being thrown to the deepest grief and sadness I have ever known. I have been asked to transform, to shed old patterns and to recalibrate the way I relate to love, to myself, to my dear ones. It has been extremely tough and I have felt so much anger and have felt so hardened by it all. It has been hard at times to see the beauty in myself and in others. And so I turned to rose. I began taking her medicine (the Rose Elixir that I make), daily in my water bottle. I carried her everywhere. And she has taught me so much about releasing about shifting perspectives and about feeling open to love again. She is sooo healing to the nervous system and cools the heat in the heart and in the liver. Continued in comments👇🏼

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared anything on this page so just want to pop in and say hello, it’s summer!!! Having my birthday in mid mid June this time always feels like my spirit wants to come alive again. I am so grateful for the budding life that comes with this time of year- the roses that seem to always pop up around my birthday and the warming sun that is there to kiss my olive skin.

I am also grateful for this beautiful exchange with , beautiful artist woman, ceremonialist, and fellow mama. This transition into motherhood hasn’t been an easy one for me. And in the process I have felt extremely disconnected from myself and as a result it has felt difficult to share myself with the wider community. I’ve been trying to lean into the importance,however, of being ‘veiled’ during potent transformational and initiatory periods of life. And so as the land begins to bloom and grow again, inspiring me to do so as well, I am really grateful for this opportunity to be seen and witnessed, among the wildflowers, among my beloved wild roses, with my sweet child. And now to be able to share these moments with you all.

Thanks Nevee and thank you to all of you who have continued to be present in my life as ‘Becoming Mother’ moulds me, transforms me, and births me into this new stage of life.

I have a friendly request from all those who have kindly supported me over the last few years with my herbal ventures.

If anyone has purchased my teas or other herbal products, if we’ve worked together one on one for herbal support, or you’ve bought plants from me, I’m hoping for some reviews or testimonials for some promo material. If you would be open to helping me out, please send to my DM a short 1-2 sentence testimonial/review. If some of you want to send longer ones also that’s ok.

Thank You and so much appreciated.
