The Mortar & Mage

Yesterday, the Around the Mountain Trail at Bogus Basin gifted me wildflowers, open skies, my first mountain lion encounter and another reminder that resilience is built through every challenge. Nature always knows when it’s time to bloom 🚵🏼‍♀️🌸✨🦁

Ready to reconnect with your inner wild? I’d love to support your journey through Reiki. ✨

Grow with me.

July Field Notes is out, and this one feels close to the bone.

We are living organisms on a living organism.

I keep coming back to that sentence.

We are not machines.
We are not meant to override every signal.
We are not separate from the weather, the soil, the moon, the ache in our hips, the tightness in our chest, the way our bodies brace before our minds can explain why.

This month’s Field Note is about the body as a living map.

Energy.
Fascia.
Chakras.
Movement.
Stress.
The places we hold.
The places we are learning to soften.

It is not about fixing yourself.

It is about listening sooner.
Moving gently.
Returning honestly.
Letting the body be part of the conversation again.

If that feels like something your body has been asking for, I’d love for you to join Field Notes.

I send one monthly note with reflections, Reiki education, seasonal care, and whatever is moving through The Mortar & Mage.

You can sign up through the link in my bio.

Come as you are.
Grow with me.

Not every step is meant to be effortless.

Sometimes growth looks like carefully crossing a mountain creek—one intentional step at a time.

This season has taught me that steady momentum will always carry me farther than rushing toward the destination.

I’m learning to trust the unfolding.

To release the need to have every answer.

To let each experience, each connection, and each opportunity arrive exactly when it’s meant to.

That is how I’m building The Mortar & Mage.

With intention.
With patience.
With deep roots.
With faith in the path beneath my feet.

The mountains don’t hurry.
The rivers don’t force their way forward.
The wildflowers don’t bloom before they’re ready.

Nature has never asked me to rush.

It’s only ever asked me to keep showing up.

Field Notes:

The life you’re cultivating isn’t built in giant leaps. It’s created by choosing the next aligned step, again and again.

My heart is so full. 🌿✨

Thank you, Idaho Vitality Fest, for featuring The Mortar & Mage as one of this year’s vendors. What began as a dream has become a beautiful reality, and I can’t wait to share plants, Reiki, and meaningful connection with this incredible community. Live, love, grow.

See you next month. 💛

✨!!!VENDOR SPOTLIGHT!!!🌟

Chasta Feller is the founder of The Mortar & Mage, a Boise-based traveling healing hut and greenhouse-inspired wellness practice blending Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki, botanical care, nervous system rest, and reconnection with the natural world.

A lifelong lover of plants, wild places, ritual, and real human connection, Chasta brings warmth, curiosity, and grounded magic to every session she offers. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing does not have to feel intimidating or out of reach; it can be simple, sensory, nature-led, and deeply human.

Through Reiki, herbs, movement, and gentle body awareness, she invites humans to pause, soften, and return to themselves. The Mortar & Mage offers distance Reiki now, with healing hut sessions beginning August 9, 2026.
