Dear Friend of Adhara Alchemy,
I hope your January went as well as mine - it was a whirlwind of prepping for months to follow and it included some changes, but, I trust, all for the better. Today marks the day between the winter solstice and the spring equinox - Mid-Winter, Imbolc, Lá Fhéile Bríde. A time in the middle of winter when we turn our minds towards spring. This is the time to start final seed selection, and for those who live in northern climes, start to plant long-season crops inside. The days are getting longer, my horse's winter coat is just beginning to shed, and although we still have half of winter ahead of us it feels like we have turned a corner.
Many of you know I used to have a wholistic living blog several years ago. I let it slide away, as my focus was on other things, but I miss writing. So I decided to launch a blog for Adhara Alchemy! You can read more about it below and check out the first post. Eventually, I'd love to launch a YouTube channel associated with it. I'll keep you posted.
I also have a cacao ceremony scheduled on February 9th (fingers crossed the snow doesn't postpone this one!) and some really exciting classes through Healing Arts in Batavia. I hope to see you soon!
Wishing you a healthy and balanced Mid-Winter,
Andrea
Adhara Alchemy Blog
I'm so excited to have started a blog again! My goal is to write a post at least once per week, released on Wednesdays. I'm also going to be moving over some of my former blog posts in the weeks to come and updating them. Eventually, I would love to also convert this into a YouTube channel! But for now, the blog's focus will be on herbalism, but I wanted to start it out by talking about cacao. This week's post and next week's post are all about the impact cacao has on your physical, energetic, and spiritual bodies. You can read it by clicking on the link below. I hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to leave a comment or share on social media.
Join Us for a Class
Our healing classes are designed to support your wellness journey, offering a variety of topics to enhance your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These are some that are running this February:
Monthly Herbal Wellness class, where each month we focus on a specific group of plant allies. On Saturday, Feb 17th, the topic is Plant Allies for Dry Winter Skin.
6-Week Herbalism Foundations course (that started Jan 21) will still accept additions. We meet for the 2nd time on Sat. Feb 3rd - it's not too late to sign up and schedule a make-up class.
The Manifesting Through Sigils class is on Sat. Feb. 24. Sigils are complex symbols that have encoded manifestation messages. This workshop will teach you how to use this technique, using pictograms and symbolic language, to bring what you want into being.
February Cacao Ceremony
New moons are perfect times for the heart-opening effects of cacao. Gathering together to drink cacao can create healing, connection, and inspiration. This cacao ceremony celebrates the Aquarius new moon. This is the best time to set intentions for strengthening relationships, building community, and taking a stand. By changing our own vibrations, we can influence what we send to the universe, our communities, and our loved ones. I hope to see you there - I still have seats available. I'm also including the 2024 schedule below in case you missed it in last month's newsletter.
