Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, originating with the ancient Norse thousands of years ago. We keep the spirit of this celebration alive today by gathering together in community to honor the energy of the Crone. In the wheel of the year, we have much to learn from this archetype, who teaches us the wisdom of winter’s rest.

This is the time for acknowledging our year’s accomplishments, finding light in the darkness, and dreaming of the action that will come in the warmth of the next season. Let’s light our candles, charge our crystals, and blend the herbal teas that stoke the inner fires and warm our hearts.

Join Amber, Molly, and I for our final Tea Ceremony of the year, where we will learn about the beneficial properties of the herbs selected for the season and create our own unique blends to take home. In addition, we will set our intentions through altar building, ritual, journaling, guided seasonal meditation, movement, breath, and vocalizing. Each participant receives a beautiful crystal - unique to the season - that carries the intention into each sip of your tea blend.

Practical Magic is a series of workshops that teach you various ways to honor and relate to the elements by weaving the mystical with the mundane. Bring more intention, presence, and purpose into your life by aligning with the natural world around you. Learn the history, meaning, and benefits of wise woman practices like: collecting moon water, creating smudge bundles, altar building, working with crystals, and more! With each workshop you will curate your own treasure chest of tools and wisdom to nurture yourself, your community, and the world.

Part 1 - Honoring Water: How to Collect Moon Water and Create Healing Mists

Water is cleansing, healing, fluid, and deeply emotive. In this, the first in the series of Practical Magic workshops, we will dive into the virtues of water as we:

⁃ Learn how to hold reverence for this sacred element

⁃ Discuss the “how, what, and why” of collecting moon water

⁃ Relax with a water meditation that connects the water in your body with the water of the earth

⁃ Write our own unique water spells

⁃ Create a potent healing mist of medicinal-grade quality

⁃ Feel supported in our exploration of ancient practices

⁃ Receive resources for further development and invitations for reflection

Tap into the wisdom of your inner Wise Woman as you gain valuable knowledge, express your creativity, and gather with kindred spirits in this unique experience at Verbena.

Our seasonal Tea Ceremony is Samhain (pronounced Sow - win), a Gaelic holiday with Celtic origins, woven with the Catholic traditions of All Saints and All Souls Days.

Dia de Muertos in México and Southern California, the Pitru Paksha period of Hinduism, and the days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur in Judaism - these, along with other traditions across the world mark times of heightened ancestral reverence at the onset of autumn.

It’s fitting in this season, when nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, when leaves blaze in glory before falling gracefully to death’s waiting embrace, and when we find ourselves halfway between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice that we honor the souls of those in our bloodlines.

At this late Autumn Tea Ceremony, we will adorn our altar with marigolds, meditate on the cycles of nature, offer gratitude for those who came before us, and invite the spicy herbs of the season to warm our bodies.

At this event, you will be greeted with a signature mocktail. Settle into the circle as you are led through a guided meditation to identify your intentions for the season. Amber of Cleveland Tea Revival will describe each of the herbal teas and their benefits. Then we will each create our own custom tea blend to match our intentions for the season. You will take home a beautiful vial of custom blended tea, sealed with a stone, and wrapped in hand dyed paper with your intentions so you can continue the ceremony at home throughout the season.

Sacred Seasons Yoga - July Experience

 Join me for an experience of embodying the power of the Summer Season. This is your chance to reflect on the gifts this time of year provides.

 Flow at own your personal pace through yoga poses that internally balance the external heat felt in these warm summer months with cooling, restorative forward folds and slow, mindful movements.

 The opportunity to release long-held tension is encouraged through throat and belly-centered sighing and self-soothing sound-making.

 Bring awareness and care to your body as you are guided through gentle self-massage and reiki.

 Beginners and seasoned practitioners alike will benefit from the wisdom gained in this unique experience, where deep breathing practices, mudras (hand gestures), and meditation are woven throughout the practice to lead you to a heightened state of awareness.

 Rediscover your connection to Source through these rituals of yoga as well as oracle card reading, with which we close our circle.

Sliding scale: $30/$35/$40

We honor the glorious, long days and sweet, soulful nights of summer in a special event to celebrate the wisdom of this season and the bounty of local herbs!

Join us in the circle to create your own unique blend of herbal tea with Cleveland Tea Revival, sip on a botanical, non-alcoholic beverage from Verbena Free-Spirited, and experience the transformational power of ceremony through a meditation and mandala ceremony with Caressa Joy-Centered Life!

Take home your own special blend of tea, a potted lemon balm plant to add to your herb garden, and a blessing stone to activate the memory of your extraordinary experience!
