25.01.2022 WOMEN’S MEDITATION CIRCLE - FRIDAY 23RD 6.30PM (THIS FRIDAY) Ah, hello dear shadow! This month’s meditation we will be leaning into our Shadow, as a means of tenderly touching into the keeper of all those aspects of ourselves that we tuck away, bury, judge as unacceptable, are scared of, and the cages we fortify our hearts with. ‘One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious’.- Carl Jung In the practice of... Shadow Work we begin to clear away the debris, disarmor hard places, bring compassion and our lives can ultimately be re-drawn, re-dreamed, and re-made in the image of what we hold most dear. This meditation is perfect for anyone beginning meditation or seeking to deepen their practice. Our women’s meditation circle is a beautifully held container for truth telling, being witnessed (or not), healing and coming back into wholeness.

22.01.2022 Repost @sprayfreefarmacy I’m currently putting together profiles on our farmers and makers for our new website. One of the questions we ask is What’s your favourite meal? Many of our farmers say something like Lasagne and potato bake, or A good steak. Not this chick. Sarah Lantz from @temptressapothecary is a true poet. Her favourite meal answer is: >>>>> When my two girls emerge from their slumber I make us all a warm, frothy, fatty drink. ...Fat is still tricky territory these days, but it’s this nutrient-dense, primary energy source and prized treat that our ancestors devoured for centuries (and who experienced little or none of the epidemic diseases of modern society) that I covert more than any other food source in my home. This morning drink is a ritual for us. It tells our bodies that it will be satisfied today and have plenty of fuel - ‘Hey body, there will be no famines here you are cared for’. While I vary the recipe, the basic drink is raw milk or a nut milk, cacao, a good heaped tablespoon of cultured butter or ghee, maca, adaptogenic herbs like reishi mushroom or ginseng, cinnamon, and stevia. Lightly warmed on the stove then blended till its frothy and creamy. See more

22.01.2022 This tired little fellow is my companion Vigo. His love language is balls, socks and undies. We walk through the mountains a lot together. This morning two, very large, burly workmen stopped us to give him a pat, and a precious poetic conversation ensued about the colour of his coat. One of the big men described him as a ‘cassia cinnamon fella’. The other man nodded and then said, ‘Hmm, although he looks more like burnt sienna to me’. We then continued on our way. My walk with a little more spring in it and my heart ached with that beautiful conversation. #lovevigo #certifiedorganic #temptressapothecary #sacredwomensway #herblore #plantpowered #farmtopharmacy #sacredbotanicals #divinefeminine #cleanbeauty #wombwisdom #holybean #holyunion #apothecary #skinapproved

17.01.2022 We bow to the cultivation of the vanilla bean which is one of the most labour-intensive of all food crops. Each orchid stalk can take three to five years to produce its first flower, which then needs to be pollinated by hand a process that cannot be done by machine. After pollination, the beans are then left to grow for nine months, harvested, cured and air-dried for another month. Yes, we certainly do need to do a few fist pumps for our vanilla bean farmers, and the beans ...themselves should be handled with the deepest of reverence. >>> This precious vanilla extract kit can be pre-ordered here (shipped next week): https://temptressapothecary.com.au//premium-vani/ >>>> #certifiedorganic #temptressapothecary #apothecary #sacredwomensway #herblore #plantpower #farmtopharmacy #sacredbotanicals #holybean #woke #velvetunderground #moondance #foreverspiced #ceremonialcacao #spicedtemple #queenofhearts #elderberry #vanilla See more

04.01.2022 'A new ingredient can be an intoxicating affair'. OH BELOVED BITTERS! We've been exploring bitters and the magical bitter reflex for a while now. Did you know, that when you begin a meal with a bitter taste you are triggering the bitter reflex and essentially alerting your digestive system, ‘Hey there, wake up...food is on its way!’. Then a cascade of big health magic happens in the body, awakening and opening a critical digestive pathway in the body. ... Wild greens are a good way to get more bitters in your diet such as chicory, dandelion, arugula, radicchio or endive. Or bittering herbs include gentian root; wormwood, bitter melon, dandelion, burdock or milder bitters of cacao beans, cocoa nibs, coffee beans and dried citrus peel. #certifiedorganic #temptressapothecary #apothecary #sacredwomensway #herblore #plantpower #farmtopharmacy #sacredbotanicals #holybean #woke #velvetunderground #moondance #foreverspiced #ceremonialcacao #spicedtemple #queenofhearts #elderberry See more

04.01.2022 Not much has changed since writing One Bite at a Time: Reduce Toxic Exposure and Eat the World you Want a few years ago now. It's still as needed and as relevant as ever. >>> This book offers a better understanding of consumer and industrial chemicals and their impact on the human body and importantly, the concrete steps needed to both reduce toxic exposure and build body resiliency. It’s in the later build body resiliency where the focus of ...the book really takes shape. Food is our focus here. Why? Firstly, conscious food choices can significantly reduce (or eliminate) toxic exposure; secondly, particular food components can build body resiliency against toxic exposure; and thirdly, food choices can provide a high ground of ethics with systemic solutions to the issue of human and environmental toxicity and pollution. Across Australia there are some significant movements and ethical businesses sprouting up and pushing back in response to the industrial food industry. And in this book you are going to hear from those heroes of our food world producers, farmers, pickers packers, bakers, makers, researchers, food writers and bloggers people taking matter into their own hands and creating happier, heartier, healthier solutions for other Australians. Ultimately, food has the power to connect us to ourselves, or bodies and to each other. Ultimately this book is a journey from disconnection, separation, and alienation to connection, fulfilment, wholeness, and healing one bite at a time.
