Mother's {Caregivers} Day Nourishing Love Bundle 

Limited small batch bundle ~ for Mamas, caregivers, for ourselves, our sisters & siblings. For anyone who needs some extra nourishment, womb (creative energy centre) support, nervous system & heart support ♥

{May likely arrive after May 11th, especially for folks out East ♥}

An offering that came to me & came together with so much love, including some of my very favourite Medicines. Themes of Wild Rose, Sweetgrass, Nettle, Seaweed & Spring flowers woven into the Medicines … fortifying our Hearts & Spirit, transversing endings/shedding, abundance, gratitude, beauty, pleasure, soothing, joy, healing our maternal lineages, our connection to our Original Mother, the Land, Spirit, one another, ourselves… belonging. Remembering our original instructions here, and being held as we continue showing up, creating change, holding our families + communities, and tending to one another.

A bundle to care for, nourish, and share love with those who care for so many.

This bundle is all about nurturing & healing. My hope is that you, or whomever you gift it too, will feel that love + care + depth of nourishment. To know they are worthy of receiving, pleasure, joy, healing. For those who give so much, helping honour those sacred boundaries also, to remember sweetness & to pour into ourselves also. To be. To play. To enjoy. To dream AND create those dreams here too. Honouring all of those who walked before us, with us, and those to come ♥

BUNDLE INCLUDES 7 Medicines:
NEW Hibiscus, Rose, Cinnamon Honey; Sweetgrass, Rose, Yarrow Hydrosol face mist;  Matriarch Flower Essence; Resilience Tea blend with Sweetgrass + Linden; Strawberry Moon Adaptogenic Elixir {everyone's fave, so happy to have it included!}; NEW Hawthorn Flower Oxymel {so beautiful} and a very special Seaweed + fresh Nettle finishing Salt with hand harvested Seaweed

ABOUT THE MEDICINES IN BUNDLE:

Hibiscus + Rose Honey, with Cinnamon. Moving stuck or stagnant energy, Liver & Heart support, moving energy, improving circulation and connecting us to our Hearts, our Wombs, our creative potential & inspiration. Sweetness & vitality Medicine.

This is an Herbal infused honey, the colour is a vibrant Magenta:Red, similar to Hibiscus, so the honey is smooth and so delicious. This infused Honey can be enjoyed right off of the spoon, mixed into warm Coconut milk for an herbal latte, in hot water as a ‘tea,’  drizzled over Strawberries & Cacao or any way you feel called. Yum!!

You will also find a very small batch Strawberry Moon Adaptogenic Elixir with Strawberry, Rose, Shatavari, Rosehips, Reishi, Vanilla . Embodying the energy of early Summer, the warmth, vitality, creative energy, inspiration, sweetness. The Heart Medicine and comfort of upcoming Leo Season. Boosting overall vitality, supporting our Hearts, cognitive function, immune system, sleep & hormone balance {cortisol, progesertone, LH, estrogen}.

Strawberries reminding us of that sweetness in Life, balancing with grief. Reminding us of community, coming together, finding ways to truly work with one another for creating the world we vision. Love. Of course, Rose also holding that good Heart Medicine. Soothing & protecting our Hearts. Compassion. Self love. Forgiveness.

I added Shatavari as they have been calling to support overall vitality, as well as fertility {fertility going beyond human conception & encompassing that life force, creative energy & juiciness, that inspiration to birth our dreams}. They are an adaptogenic Plant kin, meaning they may also help us navigate stress. Supporting our bodies, HPA axis, and cortisol, which itself may help to balance other hormones in the body.

There is also Waabigwaniin/Latít {Flowers} hydrosol ~ a beautiful blend of a few of my favourite fragrances & Plant kin. A calming facial mist that is supportive for after Sun exposure, inflammation, as well as moistening & tonifying. I love working with hydrosols throughout the day especially in warmer months. I work with this one over my makeup as well. Beyond the physical effects these powerful Medicines have on the skin, this blend just feels, smells, evokes - beauty, peace, calm and sweetness. 

A combination of Sweetgrass, Yarrow & Rose - such beautiful Medicines each on their own, and together they feel so special. The fragrance is not overpowering at all, yet, smells so divine. If you've ever sat with these Plants, you will be brought back to those moments in this Medicine.

Resilience Tea is a very special blend that I usually only make for gifting to community. They were calling to be included. A blend of Sweetgrass, Nettle, Rose, Linden, Elderflower & Skullcap. Soothing the nervous system, calming anxiety & ‘over-thinking’/worrying. Dropping into our Heart space, healing any lingering tension held in our Hearts, our bodies. Expansive, yet grounded. Nourishing Nettle offering minerals & vitamins to feed our tissues, our muscles, our cells! With some gentle protection & boundary Medicine, and the beauty of Sweetgrass reminding us of our connection with Creation, Source, Spirit ~ with ourselves + Mama Earth. Calling all of that good Medicine into our lives, our families & rippling out into our communities, and beyond. Healing lineages.

Hawthorn Flower Oxymel was calling loudly to be added this year! Potent Heart Medicine, different and distinct from Rose. They hold big protection and boundary Medicine, yet, softness ♥ 

Offering Grief support. Edge walkers. Holders of liminal spaces, birth-life-death cycles. Moving stagnation. Supporting Blood, Heart & Womb {Creative} energy centres. They are also supportive for the physical Heart, and cardiovascular system, something that many of us are needing more right now also.

Nettle + Seaweed Finishing Salts are one of my favourites to craft! (and to enjoy!) With Celtic Grey Sea Salt, freshly harvested Seaweed (Sea Lettuce, and Fucus/Bladderwrack) and fresh Spring Nettle. These salts are delicious, but also pack a lot of minerals, vitamins & deep nourishment. Blood building and mineralizing. I especially love adding them to soups and stews, or broths. But they are delicious on so many things. The vibrant green colour alone feels like Medicine! Carrying that Ocean energy to hold us, and remember. Returning to our origin stories, primordial creation energy.

I added Matriarch flower essence this year too. A blend of Wild Rose, Wild Ginger, Oat, Magnolia, Blue cohosh, Yarrow, and Sweetgrass. Holding us as we hold so many, as we remember. Stepping into who we are fully, and remembering our gifts here. Bringing Protection medicine. Matriarch essence is a blend of Plant kin to support us on our journey. To hold our Hearts, to heal versions of ourselves & integrate all of the lessons we have earned over the years. So that we may carry these lessons in an embodied way here, putting them into action + practice.

With Plant kin to support the Heart + Womb/Sacral energy centre. Matriarch is for all genders, for awakening that Yin energy, healing wounding, and coming from our Hearts. Restoring vitality & creative energy through our sacral energy centre.

Walking in the footsteps of our well Ancestors, carrying this wisdom in our blood + bones, to bring healing + harmony. Awakening our inner protector, nuturer & stewards of the Earth.

Awakening & calling energy to our creative nature, our ability to birth new life ~ whether that is through art, or writing, or play, or stepping further into ourselves, or creating a life we feel aligned with. Allowing ourselves to be open to receive guidance & take action … creating space & fertile ground for ALL of our dreams {individual & collective} to be nurtured & grow. A deeply grounding Flower Essence, heightened by the Taurus energies ~ helping us to be reminded we are Nature embodied, we are not separate from the Earth. Lovely when energies feel floaty, spacey or swirly ~ gently Rooting us & grounding so that we may walk forward with this love, harmony & beauty.

Rose weaves through so many of the offerings. I’ve shared many posts about Wild Rose if you’re interested in perusing them ~ they’re a close kin.

WORK WITH THE MEDICINES
This bundle is meant to be enjoyed & worked with however feels most aligned. In ritual as an experience, or throughout the week, the day, the month when you feel called to a certain Medicine.

Resilience Tea: There are instructions for brewing the tea on the bag, usually 1-2 tsp per cup, covered. Can add honey or enjoy as is!

Strawberry Moon Elixir: For a yummy Strawberry Moon mylk add 1.5-2tsp of Strawberry Moon to 1 cup milk of choice, keeping in mind that what type of milk you use will impact the overall flavour. I have found that the pure, thick, coconut milk from a tetra pack or can mixed with some water is my favourite ~ experiment with what works for you! Mix with a whisk, or blend for a more frothy & smooth texture. Can be enjoyed warm, or cold!

Can also be added to all sorts of foods, baked goods, treats! I want to try a Strawberry milkshake with Fresh Strawberries and Strawberry Moon + Ice cream + Maple syrup :) Or add to a bit of Yogurt + Water + Sweetener of choice, then freeze for yummy popsicles. There are so many ways to work with this one. I’m excited to see & hear about what you create!

Hibiscus Rose Honey: Enjoy directly off the spoon, or you can add to any herbal infusion or plain hot water. I love adding to a cup of steamed coconut milk + cacao for a really delicious (and medicinal) treat. Or however you feel called ♥

Matriarch Flower Essence: Flower essences are intuitive. I like to work with 3-11 drops under the tongue, or in a glass of water. Taken a few times a day, for 3-7 days in a row. Notice any shifts, and pay attention to any changes over the 3-7 days. If no shifts occur, continue taking for another few days. From there, work with as needed, or during ritual work/meditation/new moon/full moon ceremonies. Of course, you can also just work with them whenever you feel called. Can add to drinks, to tea, to your bath…

Waabigwaniin/Latít {Flowers} Hydrosol: Work with as a facial spray, either before your skincare routine, or after oil based serums (be sure to massage into the skin). Can be worked with throughout the day, even over makeup, to refresh, moisutrize & offer protection to the skin. Can also be worked with as an after Sun spray, potentially reducing heat & inflammation. I like to work with them as a full body spray as well <3 Best if kept refrigerated. Work with the Bottle within 3-4 months.

Hawthorn Flower Oxymel: Drop doses on tongue as needed or 1 teaspoons, 2-3x per day, as needed. For love, for grief, for heartbreak, for heavy heart, for joy or just to connect with your light & Heart space. Add to a bit of water or enjoy directly from the dropper bottle, you can also add this to spritzers, herbal Mocktails for some Love & a bit of sweet/tart flavour! Love pairing this one with a Strawberry Lemonade ♥

Nettle + Seaweed Finishing Salts: Taste a little pinch directly if you feel called, notice the Seaweed & fresh Spring Nettle. Both gathered here on so called Vancouver Island, Snuneymuxw territory, this Spring. Merging Sea + Land. Close your eyes if you feel called & just notice if you can taste, sense, feel the Land and Water, the Ocean air. I love sprinkling these finishing salts on many savory dishes, especially broths & Mushroom soups. You can add to anything you'd like when craving that extra mineralizing medicine. Amazing added to broths to bring extra nutrients and plant medicine tonics. 

Ritual: This year the Medicines that were calling loudly were all delicious ones, drinks, teas, elixirs, honeys... typically a couple of topical offerings make their way in, but I think the theme this year is *deep nourishment.* Beauty. Even, pleasure (can be such a hard one to receive, or even acknowledge sometimes, for so many reasons). So the ritual will look different this year ~ and I invite you in to explore how to work with these offerings in ways that feel supportive, sweet, nourishing. In ways that hold you, ground, and help you come back to yourself ~ your Heart, Body.

I love combining them! So I might add some Hibiscus Honey to the Resilience tea blend, sip & enjoy. Or add Matriarch Essence to Strawberry Moon Elixir!

Maybe sitting in the Spring Sun with a Strawberry Moon latte, and spraying some Sweetgrass + Rose + Yarrow hydrosol to center, connect. Receiving the Sun's codes, nourishment, vitality, alongside the Medicines. 

There are so many ways to work with this bundle. My hope is that it holds you, fortifies, and brings deep remembering 💚
