Monthly Spotlights
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
Somatic Article: The Intuition Portal
February: Nutrimental / 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
Herbal Tea Article: The Mindful, Ritualized, and Rooted Gifts of a Simple Herbal Infusion
March: Eartheral / 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
March Spotlight – Humble hive Consulting
Lauren offers downloadable garden designs, permaculture design, garden planning & consultation services local to Dayton, OH as well as worldwide. She offers classes, tours, permaculture design, and neighborhood homesteading projects
Herbalism Article: The Herbalism Approach to a Deeper Eartheral Connection
April: Communal / Community Craftivism
Being in community with others is a very necessary aspect of being a human. When we are in a safe and welcoming space, our limbic system can regulate and our oxytocin levels rise, providing an extremely grounding atmosphere for our nervous system. Mix that with tactile art that shows how we want to make the world a better place, and you have an extremely grounding practice
April Spotlights – Sugar Camp Bandanas and The Savage Stitcher
Val is the one-woman show behind Sugar Camp and every single one of her bandanas. She is an INFJ, a mom, a coffee lover, a designer who can’t turn it off (thanks, ADHD), and someone navigating life with complex chronic illness
Angie is a Midwest based fiber artist with a passion for intersectional feminism and empowerment. The Savage Stitcher aims to challenge traditional notions of craft and elevate fiber arts as a powerful medium for social commentary
Craftivism Article: Craftivism, Community, & the Invisible Thread Holding Us Together
May: Cerebral / Visualization
Visualization in psychology refers to creating mental imagery in the mind’s eye or in one’s imagination, relying primarily on the occipital lobe (the visual processing center) and the prefrontal cortex (generates the imagined image). Visualization can include conjuring up images of places, past memories, possible scenarios, or future creations (to name a few) and is used to influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. And the benefits are far reaching
May Spotlight – Emily & The Wellhouse Collective
Emily and her new project The Wellhouse Collective aims to bring together a diverse group of practitioners—including therapists, psychiatrists, bodywork providers, physical therapists, yoga instructors, and other wellness professionals—to create an integrated community of care
Visualization Article: The Power of Visualization – using imagination to plant the seed of creation to envision and grow a new future reality
