A Plant Spirit Apprenticeship🌿
Root & Ritual ✨

Root & Ritual is a six-month plant spirit journey rooted in ancestral remembrance, seasonal ritual, and relational herbalism. Running from Beltane to Samhain, one Friday evening per month in West Chester, PA. This offering invites you into a slow, intentional practice of learning with plants as teachers, through story, spirit, lineage, and lived relationship with Jacque Maldonado of and Jenna Faccenda of .

This is not a certification or a system to master.
This is a remembering.

Together, we will work with plants that have been taught, used, and revered through Curandero traditions and Italian folk herbalism, while honoring the truth that we are practicing as Americans—reclaiming, not replicating, ancestral ways. This container holds both reverence for lineage and responsibility for place.

If you’ve ever been to , chances are you’ve met the lovely Brooke (pictured) ✨

I’ve known Brooke for 10 years, and we’ve worked side by side since our very first location on Church St. She’s always brought a quiet strength, deep healing presence, and grounded realness into the space. Beyond that, she’s been an incredible support to both me and Prana in so many ways. From tending to Casita when I couldn’t be there, to sharing her gifts with our community with Kundalini, Akashic and Reiki Services, Classes and Events. 💚

So what’s next for her?

Brooke will now be offering Energy Healing and Akashic Record readings in Exton, West Chester, and via Zoom. She’ll also continue offering Reiki Certifications for those feeling called to deepen their practice.

She has Kundalini Yoga classes, workshops, and more in the works, so be sure to follow along at for updates ✨

For bookings and inquiries, you can also reach her at brookespiritualhealing@gmail.com. And if you’re local—she’ll be hosting a Glamour Magick Workshop on May 2nd at in Phoenixville 💫

And keep a look out… we definitely have some collaborative events in the works together 👀✨
So much love for you, Brooke. Excited to see all that continues to unfold for you 🌿💚🙏🏼

It has really meant so much to share space in Casita with these two incredible women over the past two years.

What we created wasn’t just a working environment, but a place filled with care, laughter, tears, support, and so many shared moments 🏡🥰

I’ve had the honor of witnessing them not only as entrepreneurs, but as women walking their paths with intention, heart, and so much integrity through highs and lows. The magick they create in the world is real, and I feel so grateful to have had a front-row seat to it.

To Anita and Aly,

Thank you both for your presence, your love, your openness, and the way you showed up, not just for your work, but for this space and for me, for Prana. I look forward to the ways we will continue to connect in the future. 💚🙏🏼✨

Anita, , and Aly, will continue to operate out of the space through the end of April, and will be stepping into their new homes in May, but will still be in West Chester.

If you’re looking for a deeply caring, intuitive aesthetician or massage therapist, I truly can’t recommend them enough. Go follow along and stay connected to all the beautiful things they’re continuing to create ✨

I sat with the moon tonight.

Just me, the wind, the owl in the tree, and that quiet feeling of rain coming in.

I spent some time reading the notes people wrote about what Prana has meant to them. Took it in, piece by piece. 😭🥰

I whispered a prayer into the wind and threw rosemary for remembrance, lavender for peace, peppermint for a little luck moving into this next phase.

Right at the end, two young deer ran across the field in front of me, what a blessing. 🌕✨

I’m going to turn the notes into a collage to carry these memories forward. 🙏🏼

Sending so much love out to all in need on this Full Moon night. Be Well & Blessed Be

04/02/2026

Hello Beautiful Souls,

I hope that you are well in Body, Mind, and Soul...

As I write this newsletter, we are in the peak of the Full Moon in Libra, a celestial moment inviting us into balance, harmony, and deeper awareness within ourselves and our relationships. Libra reminds us of the delicate dance between giving and receiving, self and other, doing and being. Under this moonlight, we are gently asked to release what is out of alignment and return to the truth of our hearts… our soul.

This Full Moon arrives on the eve of our official moving day, marking the close of our chapter at 104 S High Street. The timing feels divinely guided, offering us a sacred opportunity to reflect on the cycles of completion and renewal that are always unfolding around and within us. These past few weeks have been nothing short of love, and I feel immense gratitude for this community and for the unwavering support of my family and friends.

Choosing to close our physical storefront was not easy, but it was necessary. In honoring this transition, I am choosing balance. I am trusting both the needs of my soul and the needs of my family. Just as Libra teaches, there is deep wisdom in creating space for what truly matters. I hope that you, too, are finding moments of clarity and alignment along your own journey.

The energy of this year is one of profound transformation and recalibration. It calls us to simplify, to root more deeply into authenticity, and to courageously release what no longer supports our growth. We are being guided to build from a place of truth, intention, and alignment—rather than obligation or expectation.

And so, as one chapter closes, another begins...

So many new adventures are on the horizon, and I am open to receiving all that is meant to unfold. I will continue to dream, envision, and co-create the future of Prana with devotion and trust. I am deeply grateful to each of you who has walked alongside me over the past 10 years and continues to support this ever-evolving journey.

I remain here in service and holding space for those navigating life’s transitions, seeking clarity, healing, or deeper connection.

I continue to offer one-on-one sessions, now in two locations in West Chester (26 S Church St. and 485 W Boot Rd.). When booking your appointment, please indicate which office location you would prefer. While we will collaborate in many new and different locations, 485 W Boot Rd. will be the new home for many of our upcoming classes and events, including PranaFest, scheduled for Saturday, July 11th—save the date!

If you feel aligned, I invite you to stay connected here and on my social media pages as this journey continues to unfold, expand, and transform. Below, you will find what’s coming up in April, as well as the first weekend of May.

May this Full Moon illuminate your path, restore balance within your heart, and guide you back to the beauty of your own inner knowing.

Feel free to reach out if you feel called to connect or collaborate together!

Be Well & Blessed Be,
Jacque Maldonado | Founder & Owner
The Prana House

These are the moments.
These are the experiences that made me fall in love again and again, with this work, within these spaces, and with this community. ✨

Every connection, every conversation, every ritual, every shared breath… it all matters. It’s what has shaped The Prana House into what it is today.

This is a path I promise to continue with love, devotion, and deep commitment. To support you, to hold space for you, and to witness a million more moments of healing, growth, and transformation together. 🌿

This isn’t the end of the story… it’s just a new way of telling it.

3 more days at 104 S High Street and then, we continue to fall in love. Again and again.

With all my heart and deepest gratitude. May you Be Well & Blessed Be.

- Jacque 💚💚💚

In November 2015, the dream of a retail space for The Prana House was born and became our home. ✨

Over the years, we’ve been blessed to grow into three beautiful locations, each one holding countless memories with our customers, clients, family, and friends. Every person who walked through our doors became part of the story — part of the Magick.

What began as a vision to create a space where individuals could find herbal, holistic, and spiritual goods, sourced with intention and created with love, it has always been about so much more than a storefront.

It has been about connection, healing, safe space and community.

Now, the vision transforms once again. 🌿

Our current location at 104 S High Street will be closing its retail doors to the public on Sunday, March 29th.

While this chapter comes to a close, our mission, heart, and vision are not ending , they are expanding. The Prana House will continue to live on through new spaces, private sessions, classes, and deeper roots within our community.

We hope you will stop by these last few days and help us say good bye to this unforgettable era and maybe take a piece of Prana with you. 🥰

Looking forward to our first of many vending events after our shops transition! Come on out in Saturday , April 4th 10am...

What makes you happy?

Me? This. 👇🏼

Sharing space with people. Gathering in circle. Passing on knowledge that has been so deeply valuable for me and my family in so many ways. To be able to teach it and watch others reconnect with these traditions is truly a blessing.

These are scenes from our Folk Herbalism class, which began this past Saturday. I’m especially grateful to be co-teaching this journey with Jenna from and to share these teachings together in community.

As we move through a season of transition, I feel even more gratitude for these moments. While our physical spaces may shift, the heart of this work continues. I’m looking forward to carrying these teachings into new spaces and connecting with new communities.

If you’d like to see what else Jenna and I are offering together this year, you can check out our Root & Ritual class on our website. Beginning in May. Registration is now open. 🌿
