For those in the western part of the Earth, we are now in full swing of autumn. This season is a sacred invitation to release, to forgive, and to let go of what no longer serves your heart. It is a time to allow the heaviness from the past to lift, creating space for clarity, peace, and renewal.

Take a moment to observe the trees around you. Trees are profound teachers, reminding us of the cycles of life. In many areas, they are shedding their leaves, letting go with grace. In the spring, they could not have imagined releasing the buds that blossomed into flowers and strong, vibrant leaves. Yet now, they let go freely, trusting that new growth and abundance will return in its own time.

This season mirrors our own journey. Just as the trees release, we too are invited to set free the burdens we carry, creating room for healing, transformation, and heartfelt liberation. Allow yourself to honor this natural rhythm, and step into the gentle power of letting go.

Autumn blessings to you all.

One of our absolute favorites!

Hitting the ground running today. (Take that, Monday!)

Several limited editions have been restocked and I'm hard at work getting the Christmas soaps listed on the website.

If you are unfamiliar with Seven Allies, this is a custom blend I created by request for Mindful Methods in Clear Lake, Iowa.

Seven Allies is harmonious, yet complex, blend influenced by the classic vintage cologne Florida Water*. The sweetness of the citrus fruits is the first note to hit the nose. Then, comes a lifting brightness from the lavender. Finally, the tiniest bit of the spices comes through creating complexity and ties the blend together.

In my interpretation of the scent, I used seven essential oils: sweet orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, cinnamon, clove and lavender. I also did use a small amount of a citrus fragrance oil as sweet orange often fades in soap and I wanted the scent to fully come alive.

When women gather in circle, something ancient awakens. A deep remembering stirs within the womb and heart, calling each woman home to herself and to the collective power of sisterhood. In the space of a yoni steam circle, we come together to release, restore, and reconnect with the sacred feminine essence that lives within us all.

Through the warmth of steam and the medicine of herbs, we honor our bodies as vessels of creation and wisdom. We listen to our wombs, to each other, and to the silent stories carried through generations. The circle becomes a sanctuary where women are seen, heard, and held in their truth.

Each gathering is more than a ritual ~ it is a reclamation. A return to softness, strength, and the sacred art of tending to the feminine body and spirit. Together, we remember that healing is not meant to be walked alone but shared, witnessed, and celebrated in community.
