Local Practitioners who delightfully embody one of our five grounding practices:
Cerebral, Somatic, Nutrimental, Eartheral, & Communal
January: Somatics
Somatics is a fast-growing field which is gaining ground in the therapy and coaching world. Its root word is ‘Soma’ which is from the Greek and means “the living organism in its wholeness”. The field of somatics is most often thought of as working through the body. The process of Somatic Transformation occurs primarily in three spheres: Somatic Awareness, Somatic Practices and Somatic Opening
January Spotlight – Charles Roberts
Charles is the founder of The Welcoming Place Counseling and Coaching in Dayton OH and is currently completing a Strozzi Institute Somatic Coaching Certificate
February: Herbal Tea
The history of tea is long and storied, much like humankind’s relationship with herbs. Plant medicine is only one element of the many offerings of herbal infusions. The energetics of a plant, the properties hidden in the different parts, and the relationship we foster when we grow our own herbs are all such insightful and meaningful aspects of an herbal brew
February Spotlight – The Wenches of Wormwood
Brandi & Jessica are co owners of a local tea and metaphysical shop at second street market
March: Herbal Gardens
Incorporating medicinal herbs into your existing landscape to grow your own herbal remedies within the space you already have is a wonderful investment in your garden. Additionally, many have lesser-known “superpowers” that you can harness to work “in community” with surrounding plants to create balance and harmony within your yard’s ecosystem
