On Saturday, August 2nd, we gather again to honor and celebrate Lughnasadh — the first of two harvest festivals for the Wheel of the Year 🌾

Situated between Summer Solstice & Fall Equinox, Lughnasadh symbolizes the first fruits of planting labor, reflecting the delicate balance between nature’s bounty and the hard work required to cultivate it. On this day, we honor the beginning of the harvest season & celebrate the abundance we get to share!

Together, we’ll enjoy…
🍉 connecting over a plant-based potluck brunch
🪇 singing, dancing & celebrating the season
🫐 harvesting the abundance from this land
📿 offering prayers/metta (loving kindness)
💪 moving our bodies & honoring how strong we are

Our song circle will be led by the beautiful .__723 & we promise, this is not to be missed! We encourage you to bring instruments (if you have them) & join in on the fun. It’s not about how you sound… it’s about letting yourself be HEARD.

We’d love to call in a large group for this gathering, so if you feel a stirring in your heart for time in community & on the land, come join us ❤️

Still a few spots for InFlow!

https://swedenborg.com/community-and-events/inflow-retreat/

✨At the Inflow retreat I (Chelsea) will be sharing what I’ve learned through combining Swedenborg’s teachings and Internal Family Systems as well as somatic healing practices.
I had an amazing time learning from Suzanne Giesemann this past weekend at the Omega Institute. What struck me most was how the same principles apply for whether you’re connecting to your parts, your inner self, guides, angels, loved ones on the other side, and the divine. As we say in Opening the Inner World, you can learn to navigate the inner realm, and connecting in this way is the means for healing. Come explore your inner senses with me on the weekend! Registration closes Friday! See the comments for available spaces and the link to register.

HAPPY A(ROSE) DAY aka the day we celebrate the solar return of this beautiful rose goddess 🥹🌹

Almost 2 years ago, the universe blessed us with the friendship & love of .blooming & our lives have never been the same since. All it took was one retreat… & we were immediately soul family from that point on.

The ways we have grown together, laughed so hard we’ve cried, cried so hard we’ve laughed, traveled to the other side of the world, navigated sickness & grief, celebrated beauty & joy, danced until our legs couldn’t hold us anymore, shared tender moments in circle & at festivals & in the comfort of each of our homes, facilitated multiple retreats that have led to the transformation of people’s lives, and so much more to even name — all of it brings us the deepest gratitude for this beautiful life & sisterhood we are creating alongside each other.

We never knew you were going to walk into our lives one day & change everything, but we’re so glad you did. And isn’t that the miracle of this precious human life? You just never know which stranger is someday (maybe even in an instant) going to become one of the most important people in your life… & that is what you have become for us, Ang 🥹

(Zach too, but today isn’t about him 😄❤️)

If you’ve ever had the privilege of being in the same room with Ang, you know just how far her light radiates & how seen she can make you feel. So if you have… drop a little love down for her below & share one of your favorite memories or moments you’ve experienced in her presence!

And of course, we could not honor & celebrate this day without acknowledging Ang’s beautiful mama who we know played such a huge role in sending her our way. Happy BIRTHING day to you. Thank you for bringing such a loving, gentle, bright soul into this world & for touching all of us in ways we never could have imagined.

We love you both, so so much ❤️

This "training" was dreamed up after years of taking trainings that didn't quite fit my own lifestyle —

I LOVED attending trainings where I felt empowered & excited to begin creating from what I learned as quickly as felt safe to do so... but often would spend a few thousand dollars only to leave the weekend feeling tired & unsure if I'd ever feel called to share that modality with others.

And so when my dear friend asked me to create a yin training for her studio, I knew that it wouldn't look or feel like anything I'd done before.

A few things that make this weekend unique —

☝️ Before any necessary information is shared... you pour into yourself to make sure there's room to receive it. This is as much "retreat" as it is "training" which is why it has evolved incredibly into an entire weekend immersion.

✌️ The physical asana is NOT the primary focus. You can literally search or chatGPT and receive detailed sequences and instructions for "teaching yoga" these days... so instead of acting like I invented the wheel (excuse me, Chakrasana 😅) we read/study The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga by Bernie Clark before the training so that the focus can be on learning through embodiment, sequencing, and feeling in each posture so that each lived experience can help us learn more about what students might feel in this practice.

🤟 You learn & practice your voice as a yin teacher or practioner throughout the weekend, culminating in having a class or workshop ready to pitch or offer at your local studio or space. Even those who didn't initially know if they'd desire to share yin yoga often come up with amazing idea that integrates incredibly into their current life & offerings. This gives you the chance to quickly pay back this training AND, even more so feel confident in who you are as a guide & facilitator (jn all areas of your life!)

So... if this feels up your alley with the kind of training you've been dreaming of... if you've been desiring to add yin to your offerings in 2025 & beyond... if you're called to this and don't quite YET know why...

The Ritual of Yin
22-Hr Yoga Training + Immersion

IS OFFICIALLY LIVE!!

Sept 11-14 — early bird through 8/1

Our third annual Fall Equinox gathering is officially live — and we are so so excited to share it with you and send you the official invite:

Join us from Sept 19-21, 2025 in Harmony Twsp, New Jersey to ground, shed old layers, and integrate the year so far, will you?!

And this invite isn't something shallow or meaningless... it's the truest thing we know.

Because we were offered the invitation, too —

Directly from Mother Nature, in fact —

First as a whisper, and then something that grew into a loud shout —

IT’S TIME TO SIMPLIFY, LOVES.

IT’S TIME TO LEARN FRON MY WISDOM.

IT’S TIME TO STOP FORCING WHAT IS NOT READY TO BLOOM.

AND IT’S TIME TO LET IN THE WISDOM THAT IS.

And after saying yes ourselves, and spending these past few years learning the gentle & sometimes quite intense guidance of the Wheel of the Year…

We couldn’t be more excited to come together to walk this rich path alongside you, with the upcoming Fall Equinox (also known as Mabon) as our portal into this journey.

There is much more to share on this, so peep the deeper reflection in your email or keep an eye out for everything as it blooms in the coming weeks.

For now we'll say that the lineup of offerings & collaborators is STELLAR, including the addition of to capture the magic in New Jersey AND for the spring in the DR!!? By the way, all the gorgeous photos you see here & on the website are captured by her.

So tag a soul sister that you desire to dance into the Fall Equinox with — spots are already filling with new & returning guests, and we are SO ready for those of you who feel the readiness when you read this post!!

It’s WINEBERRY season 🤤 (aka one of our favorites)

The sun shines hot, the land is wild with growth, and the berry bushes are abundant with fruit to harvest!!!

Those familiar with the plants of this area probably know that wineberries are an invasive (& prickly) species that is quite prolific in & around these landscapes — & while we do intentionally remove this plant when we find it growing in/around our garden beds, impacting our trails or pathways, or causing potential harm to native plants… we also allow it to grow (somewhat wild, somewhat tamed) along the edge of the woods where it’s not causing much harm so that we (& our animal friends) can enjoy its plump, tart/sweet berries every summer ❤️

Last year, our local animal friends enjoyed all the berries before we ever got to them, so this year we are SAVORING all that we can harvest, while making sure to leave some for them, too!

It’s such a wild, beautiful thing to be in reciprocal relationship with the land where we tend to her with love & care & she provides this level of abundance in return… to say that we have witnessed the shift in how the land communicates with us since we’ve been here is an understatement. You can FEEL the energy & gift of a land that is loved on the moment you step foot there… & oh, how we love this land.

Thank you for the abundance.
Thank you for the sweetness.
Thank you for this harvest.

❤️❤️❤️

IYKYK —

You may have had tons of nourishing, luscious & even decadent meals here.... but have you had TOFU PASTA?!

Hopefully... NO... at least not from here, as it's our signature "healing meal" in Harmony.

First invented out of necessity when I () had to go on a strict pre-colonoscopy diet — it consists of protein pasta, nooch (nutritional yeast), tofu (these days: we fancy it up with flax, nooch, SPG), vegan butter, and so much love!

Ever since then, we prepare this hug in a bowl when we need some TLC around here.

So, it makes perfect sense that I whipped a big bowl of this up for 's first meal at home after the intense weekend she's had. In case you missed it, she has been experiencing intense symptoms due to cellulitis after a rogue bug bit her in a local park.

AND, all thanks to this tofu pasta... plus a little help from the doctors & nurses who tended to her during her wildest hours of fever dreams... she's back home & on the mend!

Thanks for all the prayers, reiki & loving affirmations sent her way — that has absolutely helped, too!! We truly have the most wonderful community & it shows itself in the moments we need the reminders most.

And... stay tuned, as the little one heads back to Forest School tomorrow, so while Sarah rests in Harmony, I'll be fueling with extra matcha + finishing up as many of the projects we've needed to put on pause since last week.

Finally, if we haven't gotten back to you since last week... I promise you're in the "You're SO Important & We Just Haven't Been On the Computer or Answering Texts" Queue — so just reach back out to US to give a little nudge, or keep an eye out for a response ASAP.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your patience, your love & your Tofu Pasta level support as we focus on slowing down for Sarah, while keeping things flowing for the rest of our world. 🥹
