Hello Beautiful Souls,
I hope you are all well in Body, Mind, and Soul.
This part of winter is filled with so much anticipation, isn’t it? At least it is for me. There’s a deep longing for what is yet to come in the seasons ahead: warmer days, softened snow, and the return of plant life bursting with color. At the same time, I find myself truly appreciating the quiet and craving stillness, those moments of rest and reflection. This can feel challenging while running a full-time business and wearing the many hats of life. Some days, I want nothing more than to curl up by the fire with a good book and a cup of herbal tea for daaayyyss! Yet the world continues to ask me to stay in motion. Perhaps you feel this too.
As someone who follows the rhythm of the Wheel closely, I remind myself that this duality is part of the season. Even within stillness, something is already stirring. The anticipation we feel is often a sign that growth is quietly underway just beneath the surface, and it is.
Imbolc, traditionally marked on February 1st in the Gregorian calendar and astrologically aligned when the Sun reaches 15° of Aquarius, arrived this year on February 3rd. It reminds us that although winter still surrounds us, the work of spring has already begun. This is a season for tending our inner flames, refining vision, strengthening foundations, and preparing for what is ready to grow. Paired with the bold momentum of the Fire Horse Lunar New Year, there is a powerful call toward clarity, courage, and aligned action.
This is also my birthday month, as well as Jenna’s, who I work closely with through Widow Apothecary (https://widowshop.net) and co-teach courses alongside. In celebration of this shared turn around the sun, and as an offering of gratitude to our community, we are sharing special birthday offerings throughout the month. Be sure to explore the details below, and stay tuned to Prana's social media channels for special birthday week offerings, both online and in the shop.
I am feeling deeply energized by the current atmosphere following this past weekend’s Full Moon in Leo and am excited to share the offerings and events unfolding in the weeks ahead. Each has been thoughtfully created to support intention, expansion, and embodied growth as we move steadily toward spring.
Be Well & Blessed Be,

Herbalism Series - Early Bird Extended
Join Us By February 26th to Save $100!
In celebration of both of our birthdays (Aquarius & Pisces here) and our shared love of plants, people, and community — we’re extending the Early Bird pricing for our 2026 Herbalism Series!
This series is an invitation to learn herbalism in community, rooted in our local bioregion and the plants that grow around us. Together, we’ll build practical skills for supporting ourselves, our families, and our friends through seasonal wellness, folk medicine, and relationship with the land. This isn’t just about learning herbs, it’s about remembering how to care for one another, how to listen to plants, and how to feel more resourced in everyday life.
We believe herbal knowledge is meant to be shared, accessible, and lived, not locked away in textbooks. So as a little birthday offering from us, we’re keeping the Early Bird rate of $550 for the full series open a bit longer, so more folks can join this learning circle - only a few spots left! If a payment plan is needed to join, please email jacque@thepranahouse.com or jenna@thepranahouse.com.
If you’ve been feeling the call to deepen your relationship with plants, learn alongside others, and grow skills you can actually use to support your community.
This is your sign. 🌱💚
