What is Nourishment? 
Simply put: nourishment is the presence of that which enables thriving, expression of spirit, and harmonious living. Nourishment or malnourishment is dictated by the quality of our food sources, our point of view, our community & relationships — our environment. Keep in mind nourishment will be different for every living being on the planet. 

Plants, our oldest living relatives, show us how to nourish and be nourished. They thrive in various conditions based on the sharing of nutrients alive in the fungal soil, the shaping from the winds, location/warmth of the sun and the frequency of rain. It’s an ongoing living experience that shifts with each season and the other living beings around them. 

Nourishing Herbs: Daily & Seasonal Rhythm 
Nourishing herbs encode these life experiences into their tissues. When we nourish relationships with them, their experiences merge with our bodies & teach us how to live in harmony with the cycle of the day, month, season, and year. Merging with the herbs takes effort, but eventually, it becomes effortless and natural. 

Hot Over-Night Infusion
With the moonrise, we build our Nourishing herbal tonic:

  • Add a handful of herbs to a 32oz jar.

  • Pour boiling hot water over.

  • Cover & infuse with the drawing power of the night.

  • At sunrise, strain the infusion to activate your digestion & drink one cup on an empty stomach.

Greeting ourselves each morning with wild nourishment gently infusing in our body brings us into a rhythm of waking, digesting, and sleeping.
When our bodies are nourished, our mind can merge with our sensorial experience and our spirit shines forth unencumbered.
