working with the sense of smell, we can be guided in session towards deeper experiences of sensory awareness and presence in the body. I offer specific herbs, plants, and resins that can be used to invoke a sense of ceremony and connection across the virtual divide.

Tea making is a process of building relationship to the plant world, and expanding mindfulness of the body. Whether foraging for wild herbs or gathering leaves in the local market, we can invite the plant world into session as a form of mindfulness and meditation.

I believe in these times of virtual life, the body can become starved of human touch and connection to the wild; often times stripping us of our instinctual nature and ability to discern the wisdom of the more than human world. Drawing on elemental materials of earth, water, fire and air, we work to rebuild those bonds through somatic exploration.
