Rooted Resilience: Flourish into the New Season

Join us in community as we ground into our value system to help navigate the upcoming holiday season and New Year. 

We will dive into root medicine together in a guided tea ceremony and meditation with Burdock by herbalist Nora Luce. This will be an opportunity to open our body to this plant, and welcome any messages of support and connection to our sense of stability to the Earth. 

After this experience, you’ll deepen into your value system as lifestyle coach Mara DeMauro leads us through clarity and courage to finding our WHY behind how we take action. Through journaling and community shares, you’ll have a solid ground for which to ride the waves of family time, the winter season, and the new year. 

This is an opportunity to connect to our morals and ethics, as we show up authentically and anchored into our purpose. Let’s investigate ourselves and connect with each other more deeply. 

WHY ATTEND?

• Open ourselves up to the wisdom of ourselves in a beautiful park.
• Learn the botanical medicine and historical use of Burdock Root.
• Connect with like-minded individuals on a shared path of discovery and growth.
• Root into our inner confidence so that we can move through the holiday and winter season with grace.
