I’m coming home from this weekend’s Misty Meadows Women's Herbal Conference with so much gratitude, love, renewed energy, and new knowledge.
So many incredible women shared their wisdom and taught throughout the weekend, and I found myself taking in so much. Learning more about plants and the energy they carry, new ways of working with aromatherapy and incorporating it into tuning fork sessions, and so much more that I’m still processing and excited to explore.
But what I brought home from this weekend went far beyond what I learned in the classes.
There are some experiences you don’t fully understand the impact of until you’re on the other side of them, and I can literally feel the space this weekend created within my body and mind.
I slowed down. I reconnected with nature. I sang by the fire, drummed, learned, laughed, breathed deeply, held space in our reiki tent, and allowed myself to be present.
And somewhere in all of that, I found community.
I’ve heard the words, “You’ll find your tribe,” many times. This weekend, I finally understood what that can feel like. Every interaction seemed meaningful in its own way, and I came home with beautiful new friendships, including people who have been living practically right around the corner from me all along.
We found each other. ❤️
One of the most meaningful parts of the weekend was choosing to birth my own drum. Working with Matooka Moonbear through that process and getting to know her was such a gift. This drum now carries the energy, intention, connection, and memories of a weekend that gave me far more than I knew I needed.
There was something about being surrounded by the trees, the fire, the rhythm of the drums, the full moon, and a community of people gathered together that breathed life back into me.
I am incredibly grateful for all the paths, people, and little nudges that led me here. 🌿🔥🌕🪘
