I made a delicious rose syrup this weekend - I served it to my students with some sparkling water. Just the right touch of sweetness and so heart soothing.

Every Woman Brings Her Own Story- I’ve been thinking a lot this week about the image of walking a labyrinth. We may walk the same path, but none of us experiences the journey in quite the same way.

The same is true for the women who come to sit with me one-on-one. Each woman arrives with her own story, her own body, and her own season of life. Two women may come to me with the same concern, but what they need may be completely different.

During an herbal consultation, I take time to listen - to what’s happening in your body, but also to what’s happening in your life. From there, I create herbal formulas specifically for you and weave in energy work and Maya Abdominal Therapy when it feels supportive.

I love sitting with women, hearing their stories, and finding the plants and care that can support them wherever they are on their path.

If you’ve been wondering whether one-on-one support might be right for you, I’d love to connect. Learn more through the link to my website in my bio or send me a message here.

Yesterday I read a newsletter from Kelly Tenkely, the principal of a small school my son attended years ago. She shared a story about taking her teachers to walk a labyrinth as part of a professional development day. Each teacher walked it alone, taking the time they needed before gathering together to reflect on what they had noticed.

She wrote,

“We all walked the same labyrinth. But none of us had the same journey.”

She went on to say,

“Each of us had made meaning differently, noticing different things, carrying different perspectives and emotions into the journey. As we listened to one another, our individual experiences became richer as we borrowed one another’s eyes, and we noticed things we had completely missed ourselves.”

That phrase - borrowed one another’s eyes - has stayed with me.

It made me think about why I love learning in community.

Whether we’re walking a labyrinth or wandering through a garden, we each bring our own stories, experiences, questions and ways of seeing the world. One person notices the fragrance of a plant first. Another remembers it growing in her grandmother’s garden. Someone asks a question that changes the way we all understand a plant. Another shares an experience that opens a new perspective.

When we gather together, our learning becomes richer because we begin to borrow one another’s eyes.

It’s one of the reasons I continue to create spaces where women can gather around the plants. Yes, we learn from the herbs themselves but we also learn from one another.

Thank you, Kelly, for sharing such a beautiful reflection and for allowing me to share it here. It was exactly what I needed to read yesterday.
