Intuitive Bone Readings with Brujo Ricky Tru

Wednesday, May 6th | 12-5pm | $85 for 45 min

Ricky has been a practicing Ancestral Brujo since the age of 12. He grew up learning the ways of Brujeria from his family Elders. He also studied Southern Hoodoo with a Manbo in New Orleans for 5 years and practices seeing both sides of the veil on a regular basis.

"Ever since I was little I've been told I have a veil on my face, which means I'm able to walk with both light and dark energies. If you are willing, come seek the Unknown."

Ricky's gentle and intuitive bone reading sessions offer a glimpse into the unanswered questions in your life.

Similar to the way a Tarot Reader would help you access the unconscious layers of your reality, these readings will help you tap into the knowledge your ancestors have to offer.

All readings include:

~Bone Throwing
~Naipes Cards
~Obi Casting

Shinrin-Yoku: Introduction to Forest Bathing workshop

Sunday, May 3rd  |  9 am -12 pm  | $30

Shinrin-yoku is a Japanese wellness practice that means “bathing in the forest atmosphere.” It’s simply being in nature—with all five senses awake.

Proven health benefits of forest bathing include:

🌲 Decreased stress: Cortisol levels drop significantly after even 20 minutes in nature.

🌲 Lower blood pressure and heart rate: Helps regulate the nervous system. 

🌲 Better sleep and less fatigue: Especially in those with high baseline stress.

🌲 Enhanced immunity: A two-hour forest walk boosts Natural Killer (NK) cell activity, with effects lasting up to 30 days- NK cells help fight viruses and cancer.

Join certified Forest Therapy Guide Alyssa Golinvaux for an introductory and experiential Forest Bathing workshop.

You’ll spend time learning the basic principles, get to partake in a “bath,” and will finish with tea to re-gather and share experiences with the group.

Alyssa is a multi-passionate wellness guide with a deep belief in the power of intentional living and connection to nature. With a background as a licensed massage therapist, registered nurse, yoga teacher (RYT-200), and certified KonMari® Consultant, she brings a uniquely holistic lens to healing and self-discovery. Based in Fort Collins, Alyssa is certified as a Forest Therapy Guide with The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT). She sees nature as a powerful antidote to the disconnection so common in Western culture, and believes that grounding ourselves in natural beauty, presence, and joy can spark meaningful transformation.

Starting with herbalism connected to your ancestry is a really fun way to build your herbal knowledge and get started

We have so many resources at Golden Poppy to send you in the right direction and help you cultivate the relationship with plants that you are looking for

Can’t seem to take your herbal tea every day like you’re supposed to?

Then tinctures might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Tinctures are concentrated liquid herbal extracts—made by steeping herbs in alcohol or glycerin to preserve their medicinal properties. They’re one of the most effective and time-honored ways to work with plants.

Why so many people love tinctures:
• They’re fast-absorbing and potent
• Easy to take on the go—no brewing required
• A little goes a long way
• They can be completely customized to your needs

Whether you’re looking for stress support, immune balance, hormone harmony, or nervous system nourishment, there’s likely a plant that can help.

Stop by the shop to explore our wall of premade formulas—or ask us to craft a custom blend just for you.

You can also explore tinctures online at goldenpoppyherbs.com.

Here’s how it works:
Bring your empty tube into the apothecary

Let our on-staff herbalist help you refill it with the blend you love

Reuse, refill, and enjoy—again and again

Refilling your tea tube isn’t just convenient, it’s a little ritual of care.

It helps you:
💛 Save money
🌍 Reduce waste
🌿 Stay close to the blends that support you most

You’ll find the tea tubes next to our bulk tea section in-store.

Pressed flowers, pressed moments. 🌸

With blossoms beginning to bloom, now is the perfect time to start a new ritual—gathering the flowers you love and preserving them in a way that lets you carry spring with you.

Our new mini flower presses are small enough to take on walks, hikes, or trips to the garden.

Tuck one in your bag and begin collecting beauty wherever it finds you.
🌼 A hobby that connects you to the season
🌼 A sweet way to share blooms with a friend
🌼 A gentle reminder to pause and notice what’s blooming

We only have a limited number in store, so stop by this weekend and pick one up before they’re gone.

Ask our staff to show you where they’re blooming on the shelf.
