🌱 Healing, like gardening, is a cycle of letting go and beginning again.

In our upcoming workshop, will guide us through horticultural therapy practices so we can experience the power of being held, supported, and guided by plants on a healing journey.

We’ll explore **decomposition and seeding** as living metaphors—how breaking down what no longer serves us can create fertile ground for new growth.

Through hands-on connection with soil and seeds, we’ll practice transforming endings into beginnings, decay into nourishment, and intention into life.

Come dig in, release, and root into renewal. 🌿✨

Join us Sunday, September 14th, from 10 am to 12 pm at Heart Space Holistic (Studioplex Lofts in O4W– 659 Auburn Ave NE #113, Atlanta, GA 30312).

Relationships are a compilation of the little things we do every day— the things we do to be in connection, communion; to show care and participate in reciprocity; to not just demonstrate, but experience, reverence, gratitude, and generosity.

The invocation pictured above is one I read out loud as I prepare a meal, if not every meal, at least once a day.

For me, a meal is an invitation and an opportunity to be in relationship with life, with the animate, relational forces of the planet, and to remember my place within the intricate, dynamic web of all beings. It is a moment to experience my interdependence with the planet represented through food, nourishment, basic needs, as well as essential pleasures.

It’s a practice of rewilding, of embodying the parts of me that know how to be in relationship with the Earth, through moments big and small, high and low.

So much wrapped into a short, simple moment of prayer before a meal. To me, that’s how relationship is built.

Look at all the ways— and I mean aalll the ways— that we are interwoven with the Earth.

And yet we often experience ourselves, or perceive ourselves, to be separate…disconnected.

This is why ecopsychology exists- to examine the impact that the experience of disconnection has.

The way I see it, our ecological disconnection doesn’t just show up in our relationship with the Earth. It shows up in our relationships with ourselves and each other, too.

Collectively, we have lost consciousness of our wholeness, our oneness with the natural order of things, and the symptoms of this loss of consciousness reverberates through our lives is many ways, systemically, communally, and individually.

Ecopsychology digs deep into not only the symptoms of ecological disconnect, but also into the core of what’s underneath those symptoms, so that we can begin to understand how to repair this ruptured relationship for the sake of us humans, as well as the beyond-human and the planet herself.

Ecopsychology also creates the foundation from which we can begin to reconnect and remember our ecological identity, our wholeness that we get awaken to when we know we our nature.

Ecopsychology teaches us how to expand our psyche to know we are the earth.

This perspective—this shift in consciousness —is integrated into Herbalism with Kwang Mae.

And this paradigm shift is a long journey, and one that is best embarked upon with support.

While ecopsychology is a relatively new(ish) field born out of necessity, herbalism is a very ancient, powerful technology, and it continues to be a practical portal into this work of reconnection and wholeness. For Kwang Mae, herbalism has been one of the best ways to integrate an ecopsychological framework/mindset into modern (and in our case, urban) lives. And conversely, ecopsychology can amplify the potent work of herbalism.

The integration of herbalism and ecopsychology shapes are the unique offering of Herbalism with Kwang Mae.

Kwang Mae meets you where you are and helps you create your own unique portal for restoring your ecological relationship through working with plants and ecospychological practices.

Feeling so much gratitude for yesterday’s workshop! Thank you so much to everyone who came out yesterday for Rewilding.

I truly had so much fun sharing this work, and the workshop confirmed for me that it is so important to do these kinds of things in community– not only because it’s better together, but also because we learn so much from each other!

I am excited to continue delving into and sharing the work of Rewilding, the ambition of living closer to the Earth. Stay connected for future offerings!

And in the meantime, mark your calendars for September 14th–we’ve got one more workshop left in the WE ARE WOVEN ROOTS series. We are thrilled to invite you to explore connection through the lens of Horticultural Therapy with our dear friend, Leah Kelly-Wade!

We’ve got one more workshop in our WE ARE WOVEN ROOTS series!

Join us September 14th from 10 am to 12 pm for a very sweet and supportive workshop with our dear friend 🥰

Leah Kelley-Wade, LCSW, will be offering Horticultural Therapy workshop in which she will guide exploration of composting and seeding as metaphors for our healing journeys.

Nature has so much wisdom that we can learn from, if we can slow down, tune in, and listen. Compost teaches us that with care and intention, our past spoils may grow into fertile soil for something new to come forth. The magic of seeds shows us that when we grow, we first have to break open, and reach towards the light. Ecosystems teach us that we deeply need each other.

In this experiential workshop, we’ll engage with healing through the portal of compost and seeds. Participants will be led through several activities, group discussions, guided meditations, and of course a little bit of getting our hands in the soil, leaving feeling more grounded and in awe of the processes of resilience in the natural world.

Let’s learn from nature together!

We usually introduce you to our workshop facilitators, so…

Hi! It’s me, Elizabeth 👋 I’m a somatic therapist and embodiment guide who believes that healing is rooted in authentic connection—to self, to others, and to the Earth. I offer an integrative, body-centered approach informed by somatic psychotherapy, neurobiology, mindfulness, and a deep respect for the intelligence of the natural world.

I see embodiment not just as a path to personal healing, but as a way of restoring our reciprocal relationship with the planet. When we shift how we relate to our bodies, we also shift how we relate to everything around us.

I’m facilitating our next experiential workshop next Sunday, August 17th, call Rewilding: Embodying Our True Nature

Why Rewilding?

From an embodiment perspective, rewilding is a process of remembering—peeling back layers of conditioning to reclaim the body’s instinctual wisdom and its belonging in the web of life. It’s about moving and sensing in ways that feel aligned and alive. As we reattune to our wild nature, we often discover greater harmony with the Earth—and with that, a renewed sense of care, kinship, and belonging.

There’s one spot left in this workshop! Who’s going to join me???

Free tonight??? Come have some tea with us at Marietta Square Market!!!

Simple Rewilding Practices:

1) eat when you’re hungry instead of by the clock.

2) go to sleep when you’re tired whether it’s at a time designated normal/appropriate or not

3) move- even in small ways, like standing up or shifting your posture- when you feel the impulse. Or perhaps start by looking for the impulses 😊

And with all of the above, notice the experience— what’s it like to listen to and tend to the messages from your body? What messages are easier to tend to? Which ones are harder, and what makes them harder (obstacles outside, like schedules and work demands, or obstacles inside, like internalized beliefs about productivity and proving your worth that need unlearning)?

And with all that, no judgment, no guilt or shame—let that sh*t to! It’s all just information, and this is all practice.

BONUS! Listening and RESPONDING to needs and messages from our bodies is among the best ways to build an inner felt sense of safety and self-trust.
I invite you to pick one and try it out, even just for a day or two. Invite someone to practice with you, and talk about your experiences. Or share them with us! We’d love to hear about it.

Let’s learn together, and remind each other to not go it alone.

Rewilding is a word that stands in for a lot of complexity. It represents many paths of returning to a way of being that feels closer to nature, a way of doing things in greater harmony with our environment. It represents restoring our place in the web of life, a place of reciprocal relationship and mutual support rather of dominion and exploitation.
(See other recent reel for a little more context).

Lately, I have been considering rewilding in opposition to domestication. Whereas domestication indicates that the rules and regulations (both spoken and unspoken) for how to be come from outside, rewilding posits that embodied intelligence from within offers equally important and reliable guidance.

Domestication is not all bad. Guidance from outside is an essential part of a relational being who depends on community (which at scale, we call society) to survive and thrive. And personally, I don’t plan on living outdoors with no clothes on any time soon…at least not all the time. (Actually, I think this more feral icon that may pop into the mind upon the mention of rewilding is a weapon of domestication that keeps many people afraid and mistrusting of the wild animal that persists within all of us, which, among other things, falsely reinforces the dichotomy of domestication and rewilding…but perhaps that’s a topic for another time).

But many of us have been lulled so deeply into domestic lives that we have lost contact with the wisdom inside that allows discernment and balancing of inner and outer guidance. We have forgotten how to connect with nature as it exists and expresses within us. We have forgotten how to listen to it, how to trust it.

Rewilding, as I see it, is not an abandonment of domestication, but a restoring of connection to the embodied self, to the body as a living process, to living as a dynamic relationship with the whole ecological web of life.

Wild W**d Spring Tonic

-Chickweed
-Cleavers
-Deadnettle
-Henbit
-Dandelion

Chop up foraged* weeds.
Put into a jar, filled to the top. Top off to the tippy tippy top with apple cider vinegar so that the plants are fully covered.
Close the jar with a plastic or non-metal lid (vinegar corrodes metal— you don’t want that in your tonic!)
Shake it real good.
Place the jar somewhere dark and cool, such as a cabinet. Keep it somewhere where you won’t forget about it, because you’re going to shake it real good everyday.
After the first day or so, top off the tonic with apple cider vinegar again— as the plants soak it up and settle, there might not be enough apple cider vinegar to completely submerse the plants.
Allow your tonic to sit for 4-6 weeks, shaking daily (a great time to do a little dance and give some gratitude to connect with the plants)
After that time, strain and store it. Stored at room temperature, the tonic can last up to 6 months. Stored in the fridge, it can last up to a year.
Use it as a salad dressing or in cooking, or take a little shot of it 1-3 times a day to support your body’s inner spring cleaning and to flow with the change of seasons! See previous post for more details about the benefits of this spring tonic)

*be mindful of where you’re pulling weeds (foraging/harvesting) for your tonic. Avoid pulling from places where the plants likely carry extra toxins that will mess up your spring cleaning, such as from road sides or under gutters.
