For thousands of years the chakra system has offered insights into the flow of our energetic system. Tuning into the chakras is a great way to develop perception, find new inner tools, and work positively with the shadow self and healing wounds. We will review chakra colors, tones, and mantras, and explore using the pendulum, an ancient tool used for divination, connecting intuition with the physical realm. Utilizing the vibrational qualities of plants, we can begin to tune in to the body and psyche in order to assist in balancing and healing the system. We will taste plant preparations corresponding to each of the chakras (such as evening primrose, borage, aster, ghost pipe) and we’ll discuss how herbs can be used for chakra healing. We will also do a chakra plant spirit flower essence journey. Come liberate your inner rainbow!

As we move into a more chaotic and uncertain world with much rising to the surface for transformation, self care and community connection are even more valuable in order to maintain calm compassion in the face of challenge. It is my hope that as we connect more with Mama Earth and her rhythms, we will remember our role as care-givers and step into stewards’ shoes. It is my hope that instead of disconnecting from our bodies to cope that we may travel down deep, choosing to be embodied, to live in our bodies and to treat our bodies well.
