✨ Herbs for Your Eclipse Season ✨

We’re in eclipse season again — those cosmic hinge points that shake things loose and ask us to realign.

Back in March, Virgo’s eclipse pushed us to release control and perfectionism. Now in September, Pisces invites us to surrender into trust, flow, and imagination.

What does that mean for your body?
👉 Fatigue, brain fog, gut flare-ups, emotional waves, or even routines collapsing. These aren’t failures. They’re signals to soften.

And here’s the good news — the plants are right here with us. Nervines to soothe the nervous system, bitters to ease Virgo’s digestive tension, Piscean herbs like Mugwort and Blue Vervain to help us surrender and dream. 🌿

✨ My reminder to you: Eclipse season isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating space for what wants to shift. Trust the reset.

🔮 Journal with this:
“What ways of trying to ‘get it right’ am I being asked to release? What invitation is waiting when I allow trust to replace control?”

📌 Save this guide for the last September eclipse, and share it with a friend who could use some gentle lunar support.

Can anyone else relate? 😂

I am so deeply saddened to hear this news. When I first started studying herbal medicine Learning Herbs was a totally joy for me! So much information, recipes and projects... it just made my heart sing. And my son's very first introduction to the world of herbs was because of John and his wife Kimberly. Wildcraft is one of my family's favourite games.

The herbal world has lost a real treasure. May he rest in peace.

As I was picking the first of our haskaps this afternoon, I had an ah-ha moment. Some call it a download. Others call it inspiration or a knowing.

Whatever the heck it was — it was pretty cool. ✨

You see, haskaps aren’t trying to be anything but what they are. They aren’t looking over at the blueberries and saying, “Gosh, I really wish I was a blueberry. My life would be so much better if I wasn’t a haskap.”

They’re exactly what they were meant to be, simply by not pretending. Haskaps aren’t blueberries and never will be. But what they are is authentic and real — a touch of sweet and a dash of sour wrapped in a berry tough enough to handle our cold winters. ❄️💪

The key to your growth, healing, and evolution isn’t in trying to copy what others have done. It’s not about looking at someone else’s roadmap to success and mimicking their formula.

The highest vibration and frequency you can embody is your own authenticity. 💥 No one is in joy and love 24/7 — it’s impossible. But even in your raw and sour moments, you can still be real. You can still be you.

This awareness has hit me hard over the last year. Some big, bold realizations have been rocking the boat and reshaping my sense of what I came here to be, do, and share in this world.

Here are a few of them...

I don’t want to homestead. Turns out, I don’t even like gardening that much. 😅 I don’t want to be tied down to my home or a slave to my property. I hate neverending projects and unfinished piles of “I’ll get to it someday.” And a good long day of hard physical work? It doesn’t fill my cup.

And here’s a big one — I don’t believe healing the physical body with herbs alone captures the full picture of what healing really is.

So as I rediscover my purpose and place in this world, I’ll take the lesson from the haskap with nothing but gratitude — even if it came with a little zing.

Authenticity is the new flex, friends. The new high vibe. ⚡

Let’s all stand in it together.

The air quality here in Ontario is pretty challenging right now.

My hope is that this is helpful for those who are dealing with side effects from the wildfire smoke.

With wildfires burning across many provinces and states in North America, it's good to know what herbal allies you might already have growing on your propert...

In years past I would have opened with a line that went something like this…

“I love this season!” and went to proclaim how amazing it is that everything is coming alive on my land. The birds sing their songs, the trees are bursting with new growth potential and the green things are popping all over the property. 🌼🌱

And while I do love this season, I think it’s more important to draw attention to the real gosh honest truth that this season can bring for some of us.

Because the simple statement of “everything is growing!” may bring joy and excitement for some and cause dread and obligation for another. 😩

On one small half acre I have dandelion, nettles, wild leeks, wild greens, chickweed, ground ivy and invasive weeds that apparently all need my attention. And if that wasn’t enough, those blood asparagus stalks started poking their heads out of the ground as if to say “don’t forget about me!”

Remember my dear friends that just because something is growing, flowering, buzzing, popping or budding doesn’t mean you have to do something with it.

In fact, I invite you to look at this upcoming season through this lens.

“Does this bring me joy?” 💫

That’s it.

Not from the perspective of “having” to do something. Because let’s be honest, the only person telling you that you HAVE to do something is you.

So if you let your dandelions go to seed this year, miss out on spring nettles season or say screw it to the chickweed that is trying to take over your garden beds; it’s okay. I’m giving you permission to let some stuff go if you need to.

Because dandelion jelly made with exhaustion and bitterness in your heart just isn’t worth it. Or as tasty!

What if we don’t allow the pressure of social media (and that loud, nagging voice in your brain) to make us think we need to create all the things. What if we decided to follow our hearts and the whispering of our soul?

Now if you want to make ALL the things… great! But if the sentence starts with “I need to…” maybe it’s time to re-evaluate. 😘

This is a yearly treat and on the menu for tonight!

What are some of your favourite nettle recipes?

If there was a way to capture the spirit and nutrition of spring in a bowl, I have found it tonight. We just finished dinner and the meal was so

🌿 Tomorrow, the doors to Weavers quietly close...

If you're feeling that gentle pull—but also wondering,
“Is now the right time for this?”

You’re not alone.

This kind of decision isn’t just about money. It’s about space.
Mental space. Emotional space. Energetic space.
And let’s be honest—those can feel more precious than cash some days.

I recently joined a new membership myself and had to face the same question:

“Do I actually have time for this?”

Turns out... I did.

Once I got honest about where my time was going (hi, scrolling 👋), I realised I could shift things to make space for what actually nourished me.

✨ In Weavers, most lessons are around an hour.

You could gently commit to just 1–2 hours a week:
🌀 One hour to watch a lesson
🌀 One hour to reflect, journal, ask questions, integrate

That’s it. No hustle. No pressure. Just steady, heart-led learning.
And no—you don’t have to come to the live classes if they don’t work for you. You can watch in your own time, in your own way.
Weavers is about building herbalism into your life in a way that feels natural. Like you’re returning to something you’ve always known. 🌱

And it’s not just about the plants—it’s about community.

A space where you’re seen, heard, and supported as you deepen your connection with the earth, your health, and your self.
If you’ve got questions, pop them below or DM me.

I’m here to help you make a decision that feels good in your body—not rushed, not pressured.

✨ Doors close tomorrow. But if this is for you—you’ll know.
